“Let All That You Do Be Done in Love” — Hand-Painted Hydrangeas on Salvaged Church Pew Wood
Original Artwork by Paige DeBell | New Orleans Artist
Bring a piece of New Orleans history and soulful charm into your home with this one-of-a-kind hand-painted artwork. Crafted from a salvaged church pew from the Lower Ninth Ward, this piece carries decades of prayers, songs, and stories in its weathered wood. After the church replaced these pews following flood damage, I transformed this sacred material into a meaningful work of art that celebrates faith, heritage, and beauty.
Delicate blue hydrangeas bloom across the aged wood, preserving its original patina and gentle wear. The pew’s carved cross remains at the center, a quiet and powerful reminder of the sacred energy still held within the piece. Above the flowers, the hand-lettered quote “Let all that you do be done in Love” (1 Corinthians 16:14) adds a timeless, uplifting message.
Perfect for display in your living room, entryway, or prayer space, this artwork is ideal for anyone who appreciates Southern heritage, meaningful decor, and repurposed art with a story. Each piece is original, unrepeatable, and infused with history—ready to inspire love and reflection in your home.
