Fresh cedar greenery, vintage cookie molds and satin ribbon are just a few of my favorite things. And they make our Christmas kitchen one of my most loved places. Grab your coffee and let’s take the tour!
Our kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in our home, especially at Christmas time. It’s such a warm and cozy space and the fresh greenery and vintage Christmas decor make it even better! It doesn’t take very much to decorate your kitchen for the holidays. Here’s just a few ways we’ve given our kitchen a festive look.
This year our kitchen feels a bit different. Over the summer and fall season we gave the room a mini makeover. You can see all the details on that HERE. The changes that our kitchen got made it was extra fun to decorate.
One of my favorite things that I added to the room this season are my vintage cookie molds. I found these little guys at the beginning of the year at a local antique/consignment shop. I hung them with some cream satin ribbon and topped them with some left over greenery I had from the garland on our bannister. They’re the perfect touch for my baking corner!
I have always added a wreath to our range hood. When Josh built it, I made sure that the size would work for seasonal wreaths. This wreath is from Target. Sadly, they don’t carry it anymore, but any kind of cedar or boxwood wreath would work great. You can find a similar wreath HERE.
I try to keep our counter tops fairly clear. I like to use kitchen items that serve double duty as decor. A small framed antique print and paperwhite bulbs create the perfect amount or decor in the space.
I know I’ve said it a million times but our breakfast nook is my favorite spot in our home. You’ll find Josh and I right here every morning, sipping coffee. This space has always been an easy one decorate. You won’t find mini wreaths this year on the back of our chairs like past years, (You can see last years tour HERE.) but I did use fresh greenery on our shelves, It’s such an easy and cheap way to make a big impact. The pop of green is essential in this neutral space.
More paperwhite bulbs and a few vintage ornaments are a simple yet elegant touch to our breakfast table. Understated decor has always been my go-to. I like to be able to live in the space without a lot of fussy decor items everywhere. By putting the vignette in a basket tray, it’s easy to remove from the table when needed.
Doesn’t the cedar look so festive against my copper cookware? Yes, I use it every year in this space but the mixture of textures and color is just so pretty. Many places that sell trees and fresh garlands will give you clippings for free. It’s a very affordable way to decorate shelves, table tops and mantels.
Our DIY plate rack even got a little greenery. Instead of hanging the mini wreaths from our windsor chairs, I Hung one over our holiday platter. It’s was a fun and unexpected touch. If you’re interested in making your own plate rack, you can find my tutorial HERE.
I hope you’re able to find inspiration for your home this Christmas from my kitchen. Holiday decorating doesn’t have to be heavily done and with expensive pieces. The simple things, like greenery from your yard, glass ball ornaments from a thrift store and extra ribbon from your gift wrapping stash can all be used to create festive and classic look. Get creative and most importantly, have fun with it!

All the copper is so warm and inviting. I have liked copper and hammered copper especially since way before it was popular but have only a few pieces. The seasonal molds are interesting and work so well where you hung them.

MARIE,
JUST HAD TO SHARE. YESTERDAY WE HUNG A 70 YEAR OLD HANGING SCHOOL HOUSE LIGHT VERY SIMILAR TO YOURS. I ALSO HAVE A PLATE RACK THAT WE BUILT RECENTLY. THIS YEAR I USED WHITE PLATES WITH RED AND SILVER BALLS AND MADE A TREE. REALLY LIKE IT. YOUR HOME IS LOVELY.
Staci B. says
Oh you kitchen is so restful and inspiring! It makes me want to cook something 🙂
Pat Ducker says
Love how you use the copper in your kitchen i have a nice collection from when i first got married and am still waiting to incorporate it in my kitchen . Now almost 40 years later i am inspired thank you !
Deborah W. says
I love your kitchen displays of copper, molds, cutting boards, etc. It’s hard to find someone your age who loves antiques and actually keeps some around and uses them. My girls are all about sleek, modern and what they consider clutter. I find that all boring and sad. Love you ideas and style!
Linda says
Your kitchen is fantastic. I love a white kitchen. Nicely done.
Rachel Hause says
Greetings from PA. Your home is so lovely. Those shelves with copper pieces contrasted by the sprigs of garland stole my attention. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing!
Tina says
First time here, visiting from Noting Grace. I read your bio and it caused a smile—we were listening to Ella on the drive home from church today! She’s one of our favorites. We recently installed butcher block counter tops with white cabinets in our home. I am a little jealous of your collection of copper. It looks so great against the white. We haven’t yet finished our counters, would you tell me what you used on yours—they look great!
Jane says
Love the copper, cookie molds, and wreaths. Need to go dig out my cookie molds!!! Great idea!
Susanne says
I love your kitchen hardware:)
Tammie says
I love the look of the greenery along with your white dishes. So beautiful!
Janice Gardner says
You have a great eye for gathering things of beauty in your home. Thank you for sharing what you have done to create a magical space.
Sonya says
Beautiful holiday styling and the cedar looks amazing against the white and copper. I need to try to make one of those plate racks.
Shirley says
Well apparently you are a friend of Deb at Seeking Lavander Lane and I just added a comment on her blog about YOUR kitchen because I thought it was her kitchen. You’ll have to ask her about it. I am in love with your kitchen and would love to know where you found that brass ladle that is so nice and deep sitting in your crock. Thank you!
