Christmas Kitchen 2018

This year I added a little Christmas cheer to our kitchen- emphasis on ‘a little’ because it’s a working kitchen. In fact, while I was cleaning the kitchen for the photos in this post, I said to Brad, “This is why people don’t cook– they don’t want to dirty their kitchen… We should just get a caterer’s kitchen like the ladies on Real Housewives. So I can have a cooking kitchen and a pretty kitchen.” He said yes but I think he was being sarcastic. Rude.

After viewing my kitchen, you can check out all the other blogger Christmas kitchens because like my with Thanksgiving tablescape, my friend, Tammy, organized a group of holly jolly bloggers for another holiday tour. And if you’re stopping by from Inspiration for Moms, welcome!

There’s a wreath above our cooktop and microwave year-round now. I feel like it breaks up all the white cabinets. But you know what else would help with that? Hardware. Which I have in a box. It’s just finding the time and persons to watch our children so Brad and I can install said hardware on the cabinets. Anyway, back to the wreath. This preserved boxwood is 2-3 years old and still looking fresh. It’s hanging on a clear Command Brand hook on the right side door that slightly overlaps the left door. I’m mentioning this because people always want to know what kind of voodoo I do to get wreaths to hang on the cabinets.

I added two red and black buffalo check cutting boards behind the cooktop for a little Christmas cheer.

An update to the kitchen I haven’t yet shared is our new pendant lights. I scoured the Interwebs for almost two years looking for the perfect pendants, but I could never find them. So, at least for now, I settled on these, which match our dining area light. And right now they’re on sale for 60% off— less than what I paid.

Let’s be honest, is your kitchen even decorated for Christmas without lidded glass jars filled with fake snow, bottlebrush trees, and small ornaments to create Christmasy scene? I think not. Bonus points for fairy lights.

Everything inside the jars is from Target this year, except the fake snow– that’s from JoAnn Fabric. And trust me, I little goes a lonnnng way. So if you’re tempted to buy more than one big bag of fake snow. Stop yourself and walk away.

Let me say, the pre-made $10 gingerbread houses at Costco are well worth the money. Not only is there no assembly required (other than the chimney and door + awning), but they come with a decent amount of icing and decorations. Owen and I didn’t have time to decorate ours before I took these photos, but you better believe we’ll be tackling it this week. I like to surround my gingerbread houses with a little shredded coconut for a snowy effect *said in a Martha Stewart voice*.

Full disclosure, I put out this letter board last December for the gingerbread house decorating party I threw for Owen and 10 of his pals. And then I put it away and brought it back out for this year. I still haven’t found a ‘Y’ for ‘syrup’ that’s the right size but I’m improvising the best I can, okay?

    What a darling kitchen. I adore the Santa mugs and think the small y in syrup adds the perfect touch of whimsy.

    Absolutely love the jars- I thought I was done decorating but now I’m gonna fill a jar with trees and fake snow and definitely hanging a wreath on my cabinet! Thanks for the inspiration. And the coconut flakes around the gingerbread house- genius ??
