A Bit of Christmas in the Kitchen

by

Hello! I am going to try to keep it short & sweet.
Because, after I share these photos… I plan on messing up my kitchen
and 
dirtying up some dishes.
I am desperate to make eat some cookies.

Welcome to our kitchen!

 

We do have a few finish details that are not done yet but you might never see it if I wait for those to be complete.
***Please visit my facebook page HERE for the tutorial on making the candy cane wall hanging.
I found myself with some unwanted golden colored ornaments. (I know, what a problem)
They were mixed in with the some of vintage ones I picked up this year. I had them set aside in a bowl because I had no intention of using them.
Well, I make such a big, fat MESS when I decorate, that I had every surface covered with stuff!
I was looking for someplace to set this cloche
(actually, a cheese dome lid. I’m cheating.)
down but everywhere was so full, I ended up popping it on top of the bowl.
 
Hmm… I didn’t hate it!
(which seems to be one of my decorating requirements lately)
So, it got a home.
Oddly enough… I’m totally in love with this.
and it’s Gold… Go Figure?
I really just sprinkled a few Christmas goodies in with my everyday stuff.
 
I love using candy canes because they 
just feel so Christmasy!
 
More Candy Canes Paired with some
Vintage, Shiny Bright  Ornaments.
(all found this year, for a song at Goodwill and Salvation Army)
 
I placed a kissing ball I bought at a local boutique a few years back under glass. It looks so delicate and intricate … I just love it!
 
My sister got me this sweet, vintage inspired snowman. He is tall & skinny and he fits just right under my cabinets!
 
 
If you visit often you’ll recognize the
white, “shabby style” wire basket
that I have decorated with twinkle lights. 
It was filled with mini pumpkins throughout the Fall season and now holds Honeycrisp Apples.
(The hubby’s favorite!)
 
 
A few festive dish towels got added so that the oven wouldn’t feel left out.
Last, but not least…
My favorite snowman gets the place of honor at the center of the table.

 

Lots & lots of glitter pretty much
makes this guy a shoe in!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
… off to make some cookies now!

    Did somebody say COOKIES???? That sounds like such a great idea! I may have to bake some tomorrow! Your kitchen is so pretty and I love the subtle yet beautiful Christmas decorations! Will you be keeping them up now through Christmas? If so, You’re all set instead of like me who will be running around like a chicken with her head cut off 2/3’s of the way through December up until Christmas Eve! I really want to do it early this year! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Leena
