Hope you all had a wonderful weekend everyone!
Like always, mine was busy but fun with lots of get-together and some R & R with the family.
Today, I would like to share with your the touches of Christmas I placed in my kitchen!
I normally do not put a lot of stuff in the kitchen, for practical reasons, but with my new kitchen, I just couldn't help it!
Let's start with the office area...
 |
| Very subtle trees all over |
 |
| Love this Desktop wall paper I got online |
I added these white snow trees I scored from Crate and Barrel years ago and these
small battery-operated LED lights from Walmart for $7.99 for 18. Very similar to the
RH version.
 |
| I just couldn't remove my teapot and milk glass collection just yet! |
I already had my gold back drop, so I just added these bottle brush trees I got last year on clearance from Home Depot for $1.99 for all of them!
 |
| Mini Christmas Village in my Cupboard! |
I eventually couldn't resist changing this up again, the reason being, I saw this fantastic idea from
Kelly over at Eclectically Vintage and I couldn't resist putting a mini Christmas village here!
 |
| I love the little detail and all it took was some Metallic gold & silver spray paint I already had lying around the house and viola - instant cute village! |
 |
| The other spray paint I used was Satin Brown like the one in the Coffee shop - I penned the names of the shops myself using a fine tipped Sharpee and Gel pens |
Now, let's check out the Pantry area...
 |
| Just added these small Christmas trees I also got from Walmart for $12.98 |
 |
I think having these Christmas greens are perfect for the kitchen.
Got the rug from Home Depot too last year $1.50 each!!! |
The main Kitchen area...
 |
| Very subtle from afar... |
 |
| Posted this simple vignette on IG |
Placed a whole set of white string lights inside my perforated ceramic jars and added white and silver ornaments on my vintage metallic basket + candle and viola - a simple and festive vignette.
 |
| Again, my milk glass collection stayed.. |
 |
| ... just added more of the bottle brush trees and some Snow flake ornaments I already had |
 |
| Got the gold & silver snowflakes from Opryland 2 years ago |
 |
| The smaller snowflakes were from Pier 1 clearance last year |
 |
| one more... |
And again, I copied
Kelly's Winter Snow Globe Jar Idea for the island decor - you should
check out how Kelly made it HERE!
 |
| I think it's absolutely adorable |
 |
| The kids enjoy looking at the displays whenever they eat! |
 |
| All items again are from the Dollar Store |
 |
| Modified it a bit inside my cake dome - some spray glue and glitter snow made it perfect! |
Lastly, I want to share our breakfast area...
 |
| Some festive reds added |
I got the paper lanterns from Pier 1 clearance too years ago. I love how the light just makes it look all the more festive. They are velvety red up close.
 |
| I got the driftwood bowl from TJ Maxx and just added some silver ornaments with my fruits |
I hope you enjoyed this mini tour of our kitchen this Christmas!
Do you decorate for the holidays in your kitchen too? Do tell!
Have a Great Week!

Hi Vel! I just found you via the Amaze Me Monday Linky Party! What a beautiful home you have and I adore the white, silver, gold theme you've got going. The little displays under cloche, and your mason jar vignettes are the best! Love, Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!! I love your subtle touches and those jars are amazing!! I so enjoyed the close-ups of your milk glass collection. If you have shown us those previously, I missed it. I will not decorate very much this year, but I added some touches to my china cabinet today. I just could not help myself!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've popped in from Cindy's party and I think your kitchen is just gorgeous! Love all of your pretty Christmas touches and your milk glass collection is wonderful. I have a small one myself. I'm your newest follower.

Gorgeous Vel! We have a village that is packed away, because we were all bored with it...but thanks to you (and Kelly), they will be sprayed and displayed this year! :) Your kitchen looks so festive~ enjoy it this season!

ReplyDeleteYou've just added the perfect touches in your beautiful kitchen. I love the bottle brush trees.
