A Christmas Kitchen "Reveal"



What better place to start the Christmas decorating
than in my "new" kitchen!

I feel like I'm in a totally new house.
And it's so bright in here that I need to wear sunglasses!




I'll have a post out soon with a few "before" photos
 and I'll be answering some of your "how-to" questions,
with some of the technical stuff
 and a "wish I knew then" list.
(ouch!)




But for now I just want to share a little of my Christmas fun. 




The splashes of red really say Christmas to me.





































and for my Victoria Magazine Inspiration
the current Christmas issue inspired me
 to pack a little Christmas picnic basket
with hot cider and Walker shortbread.
(one of my favorite cookies)!






The kitchen re-do was every bit of the job that I knew it would be...
and then some!!

But I jumped right in to getting my Holiday decorating done
because I want to relax and enjoy these next few weeks

I hope that's possible!

Hope you're having a wonderful week
full of Christmas fun!

Be sure and join in this Thursday-Sunday


love,
Debra

Vintage Inspiration Friday #14 Join the Christmas Fun!


I honestly cannot believe it's December!
This year has just flown by,
and speaking of flying...
my turkeys have finally left the building!




Today is the first day of
Vintage Inspiration Friday
for Christmas

Hope you'll join in with some of your
vintage and vintage inspired Christmas goodies.

Grab the button and please link back in your post
so others can join the Holiday fun!




Since I'm still working on the kitchen redo,
(I'll have some photos next post!)
I needed to take a break and change out the sunroom.

I found these adorable bottle brush trees with baby Shiny Brites









And this year I tried bleaching some old bottle brush trees and wreaths.
So a few of them are dressing up my little house for the Holidays.



Looooove the little zinc garden marker


 I'm getting a start on decorating for Christmas,
it's turning out to be so much fun in the "new" kitchen.

Hope you'll join the party,
and share your Christmas!


love,
Debra
