Christmas In The Kitchen 2015

Happy Sunday! 
I got my kitchen cleaned up after all that cookie making yesterday so here it is!
I added faux cotton branches to the wreaths in the windows... added green garland over the window and some strings of DIY red and white pompoms..
The kitchen counter yesterday ..
The seasonal chalkboard on the wall leading into the kitchen from the family room..
The basement door is across from the seasonal chalkboard.. this year I added some chalkboard ribbon and black gingham ribbon to it.. The chalkboardish sign above the door came from Joann Fabrics..
 My favorite thing in the kitchen is my chalk painted hutch .. I have filled it with Santa cups, filled with evergreens ..transferware ..That Santa plate in the back on top of the silver tray was bought by my parents for my 1st Christmas ..I added a DIY garland of cream colored pom poms to the top..
Most of the Santa cups are from the Goodwill or Flea markets..

The shelf in the kitchen .. cow creamers.. more transferware ..mason jars ..I made the printers tray with my Cricut a few years ago.. still love bringing that out..
I took this photo of the candy cane tree without the lights on ..love it both ways! This little vintage scale vignette sits on the hutch.. I love mixing Christmas decor with everyday items..Especially vintage things!

 The light fixture over the table has a wreath filled with red gingham bows, candy cane ornaments and red ball ornaments..I love the addition of the garlands and pom poms over the window.. and of course my new seasonal "stitched" chalkboard :)
The galvanized tiered tray sits on the counter.. 
another vintage scale in the kitchen has a Fitz and Floyd Cookie jar on top ..faux cotton branch ..plaid bow..more Fitz and Floyd ..and a cow creamer.. all sitting on an upside down thrifted basket..This is on the counter by the kitchen sink..
 The candy cane and chalkboard tree is the only tree in the kitchen .. you can see the Ice Skate Tree in the dining room..
 As a little FYI all the colored text is clickable if you want to see more about ...

Christmas Home Tour 2014

 Come on in !
The front porch is decorated with a vintage blow mold Santa ..a DIY santa countdown.. A burlap ..decomesh and white light garland..

 On the front door ,the wreath has a thrift store silver frame ,painted with chalkkboard paint. The message on the tray is written with a paint pen..to look like chalk. The wreath is also made from decomesh and burlap.
 When you come in the front door you can see the wreaths in the kitchen windows ..2 trees are in the foyer and the little one on the table by the door ..
 The owl tree and the Merry and Bright tree in the basket .
 The living room has the big ( real) frasier fir with all the family collected ornaments..
 Also in the living room is the new flocked tree..
 Flocked wreaths hang in the living room windows from burlap.
 The Christmas Village in the living room ..with the Santa Tree and the gold tree.

 This year the Christmas Village surrounds two trees in the living room !
IN the dining room the hutch , buffet and table are all decorated. 
 The ice skate tree sits in the corner of this room.. A book page wreath hangs in the window.
 In the kitchen the galvanized tiered tray sits on the table.
 The candy cane tree sits in a olive bucket.

 The cookies are baked and decorated ..
The seasonal chalkboard with this months theme..
 In the family room the mantel over the fireplace holds a chalkboard message and all the handmade stockings..
 Another bookpage wreath , more chalkboards,and vintage goodies are on the side tables.
 The 4 foot snowman tree
 The scrapbook tree and the big snowman tree all are in the family room

 The last of the 4 trees in the family room is the Americana tree..
I haven't shown you this tree yet ..it is the only tree upstairs and it is in the master bedroom.. It is tree # 13 ..Its standing in a vintage wood crate. It is decorated with DIY sweater ball ornaments, red ribbons for garlands...aqua painted plaques with glitter and red words.. a lantern and a little camper ornament from Target . Pearl sprigs are aslo used to bring in some white.
 The wood shapes came from Joann Fabrics. I used them for our Halloween mantel last year and just painted over the chalkboard paint. I use red puffy paint to write the Christmas sayings and sprinkled them with glitter. I got styraphome balls from Walmart for 48 cents each and used some thrift store sweater sleeves to make the balls .They each got a red ticking stripe bow on the top .
Hope you all have wonderful celebrations with your family and friends ! Thanks so much for reading and commenting on my blog !

 The seasonal diy chalkboard hangs on the wall..The Christmas subway art table runner is on the table..
Fitz and Floyd on a vintage scale ..mason jar snow scene..the chicken even has a wreath around his neck..Santa salt and pepper shakers..on top of an upside down thrift store basket..
 Book page tree , saucers with ornaments and a cow creamer with flocked greenery on a silver tray..

 More Fitz and Floyd on a tray with chickens in a cloche on a teacup..Another cow creamer with flocked greens..
Another Fitz and Floyd cookie jar on the back of the hutch with another vintage scale ..ice skate ornament ... bottle brush trees  and mason jars..
 The table is set with Dollar Tree white plates with small wreaths ..and the Santa dishes I got at a church rummage sale.. gingham fabric for the napkins..bottle brush candy cane ornaments sit in the Santa bowls..
