My fern plant wasn't doing so well in my bedroom so I moved it to a top shelf in the kitchen. My mom painted the poinsetta plate when I was little and I added my candle tart warmer and silk poinsettas to tie everything together.
I drapped a garland of poinsettas along the top of my hutch and got out my silver tea set which was a $7.00 yardsale find!
I found these pear ornaments at the craft store and for some reason fell in love with them! Phillip has been kind enough to humor me, they are after all *pink.* ;0)
Here's another one of my Martha Stewart ideas. Since I can't go skating on a real pond, I created a mini one in my kitchen!
I added little mini wreaths, made from gold and white beads to the backs of the chairs. I like how they look but I never realized how close I come to the chairs, while walking through the room. I should count all the beads I knock of these things each day!!
Dot, you asked about the Christmas goodies. They are hidden in the pantry, bottom shelf on the left. ;0)
Well, that's the end of the tour. Thank you for coming along!!
Well, that's the end of the tour. Thank you for coming along!!
Your kitchen decorating is my favorite so far. So pretty and old fashioned. I love the vignette with the plate. Simple and just right. I like the tray...what a nice idea. I'm going to add a little mirror pond to my snow village this year. It's very small scale and I'm hoping a mirror will give me the effect I want. The way you share your preparations Kelli, make me feel more in the mood. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful and Christmassy room!

I need to get busy and finish up the decorating or Christmas will have come and gone!
Wishing you a blessed day!

i love sugary-looking fruit ornaments and decorations. they're so old-fashioned but so sparkly and fabulous at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love your little "skating party". What a great idea to use a silver tray and fake snow. You have such great and creative ideas!
ReplyDeleteI just love all your decorations and the way you decorated the kitchen!! I had seen that idea in a magazine before, putting wreaths behind chairs...that or big bows:-)
ReplyDeleteKelli, Your home looks truly beautiful ~ I think my favorite decoration is the ice skates, I have a "thing" for ice skates!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs...
Kelli, everything looks beautiful! I'm with you on the pear ornaments~very cute. The pond is very clever, maybe I will add one to my Christmas village as Mrs Staggs suggested.
