Christmas in the Kitchen

Holiday parties...so much fun...

today we're in the kitchen, that I just finished decorating.

I'm just showing the "big picture" today,

because I have some fun detailed posts coming up.

I DO want to share the details on this great old spatterware bowl.

a couple of months ago I found it at Amy's Etsy Store

from All Things Home.

It was just what I'd been looking for for Christmas!

My tool caddy with blue Mason jars stays on the table.

It's usually filled with faux hydrangeas,

 and now some winter greenery.

Sitting on a red toile tablerunner from TJ's, purchased several years ago.

On top of the kitchen china cabinet

And on top of the fridge

Baby chandy above the sink

And a milk carrier full of paperwhites...

(more on them a little later)

More fun coming...

I'm about done with the decorating...

I need to relax and enjoy it!

How about you?

Holiday Dining with Plaid and Toile

With all the Holiday parties this week, I thought I'd do a separate post with just my Dining Room decor. Sorry if you've seen these photos before, but hope you enjoy the full view...

The last few years I've done white and neutrals in the Dining Room. This year my French Country roots started to show because I wanted my red toile back, and then some of that love of "traditional" came along too. So what did I do?...combined the two. Traditional red and green Christmas colors with a little twist.

I added the little Christmas Cloche this week with the

 tiny vintage reindeer and bottle brush trees.

My bottle brush wreath and lamb collection on the sideboard.

Hope you enjoyed the Dining Room tour (again)

Holiday Copy Cat Challenge

Last year I put this together for a Christmas Cloche,

so this year I wanted to do it again, but I added silver glitter 

to my vintage bleached bottle brush trees.

That little prancing white reindeer

just stole my heart.

...and a teensy silver Shiny Brite.

on my mother's milk glass cake stand.
