Christmas Kitchen

~*Welcome To Our Kitchen*~
Hi everyone!  I'm posting pictures of our kitchen decorated for Christmas.  Again, I didn't go crazy in here, because I put all my energy and effort into 13 Christmas trees this year.  It may actually be 14 trees, I've lost count at this point. HA! Yes, I am craz-e!! Crazy for Christmas, I tell you! ;)  Ok, let's begin...
In the picture below, you can see through the arch way to the Butler's Pantry, and in the distance you can see the Dining Room and see the Polka Dot Tree.
A close-up!
Hello Polka Dot Tree!
 I made this little Christmas Cone Tree.
Evergreen Arrangement.
Another wild and funky 4ft. tree.
 I placed the tree in a basket, because I thought it was fitting for a kitchen. ;)
Upper cabinets with xmas topiaries.
 Other side of cabinets.
Santa Plate
Another cloche filled with red and green M&M's!
This is my funky little Christmas chandelier.  It has mesh and ribbons woven through the garland and then I swagged Mardi Gras Beads through it, too!  I dropped ornaments at the end of each bead, and that made my idea complete.
A peak into the family room.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the tour of the kitchen.  My next post will be on the family room!
Thanks for stopping by! XOXO ~Liz

Hi sweet Liz~
Your home is by far the most gorgeous, most beautifully decorated home I have ever seen. WOW...it looks truly amazing! I ♥ everything!

Kris said...

Wow Liz!!! You certainly do go all out! It is just gorgeous!!! Love the new header too, with all of your beauties!

What a beautiful home you have. I love it all. Red is my favorite color, sooooo this was a wonderful visit for me!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Your home definitely says "I love Christmas", Liz! Everything looks great! I love the little tree you have in the kitchen and your top of the cabinet decorations. I'll have to file that away for next year {after I buy a few things at the sales in a couple of weeks!}. Love how you decorated over that painted chest. I may have to use your idea as I have a wall that is quite high where I have my painted chest, and I think I need to continue to go up with additional pieces. I have a mirror to go there after Christmas, so I'll see how it looks from that point.

Such a beautiful home you have! You did a wonderful job in decorating it, you can tell much thought went into it! I love the polka dot tree too!
Your header couldn't be much more beautiful, how blessed you are!

Great Christmas decorations, but I just want your kitchen!

Colleen said...

gorgeous Liz! Do you host parties during Christmas? If not, you should - it's so pretty in your home.

Nicole said...

It seems so cozy! I love the feeling that Christmas decorations bring to a home. The only part I don't like is when it feels so bare after I take it all down!

Good Morning, Liz!
I love the kitchen all dressed for the holiday. Your touches of Christmas decor through the kitchen is nicely done. My favorite is the little tree by the sink. So cute. Love it all. Your home definitely has a festive and happy look to it. Your girls must love coming home from school each day to all the wonderful holiday decorations.
I just nearly fell out of my chair when you mentioned decorating 14 trees! ha-ha You have so much energy, girl!
I thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. You always inspire!

RHBH..I watch too!! hehe ;)

Hi Liz, I have to say I am partial to kitchens and enjoy them so much. Yours is stunning and so useful too!!!!The tree you made with rosette pipecleaner twists is genious. The wire cloches are really neat and in the spring would make nice and cozy bird nests.The plates with stripes are so pretty. The tree in basket is an idea I would love to copy. Your amazing!!!i know you must love the kitchen layout lots and great for making cookies with your helpers, take care, OX, Emelia.

You've outdone yourself, Liz, on the kitchen and family room. If there was a contest for the most "Christmas Decor Ever," you would win hands-down! I get so many great ideas from you, but now they are going in Pinterest for next year, 'cause I'm done! Have a Merry Christmas!
xo, CAS

Liz - I see your beautiful kitchen. Do you actually light the black and white lamps above the canbinets or are they only for decor?

Stacey said...

13 or 14 trees? Oh my goodness, I feel like a slacker. No really, your kitchen is amazing. I went on a holiday home tour this past Saturday. Your home needs to be on one too!
