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!

I'm joining in with these great Holiday Parties









































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

Be sure and join in this Thursday-Sunday


love,
Debra
