Christmas in the Kitchen
In just 16 days we’ll be celebrating Christmas! I haven’t bought a single gift yet. Have you? I need to do some serious shopping soon! I’ll blame my lack of present shopping on the fact that I’ve been busy decking the halls for Christmas. Today I’m joining a group of bloggers for the inaugural “All Through the House” tour. Each day this week a group shares the Christmas details of their home! Today it’s all about Christmas in the kitchen! You can see the rest of the blogger rooms by following the links at the end of this post.
In December, my kitchen is all about cooking and baking. I remember when I was younger my mother and I would bake cookies together and freeze them so the family would have plenty to snack on through the holidays. Spritz cookies were my favorite and I always enjoyed decorating them.
I’ve made a few slight decorating changes in my kitchen since I shared my Christmas home tour last week. I added wooden stars in the trio of windows above my kitchen sink.
Ornaments on the counter and shelves add a bit of Christmas cheer.
Instead of baking cookies this past weekend, I made this Wintermint cake with ombre frosting.
On the other side of my kitchen is the breakfast nook.
Red poinsettias and pomegranates add a touch of color on the kitchen table.
A tiered cupcake stand holds an array of my vintage ornaments.
I didn’t hang any of them on my Christmas tree this year, but I still wanted them out on display.
I rearranged a few Christmas items on my kitchen sideboard.
I swapped out my lamb sign on the shelf for a Milk and Cream farmhouse sign.
White ironstone and a Christmas pitcher add subtle farmhouse touches.
Milk and cookies are served in red and white style.

I like to use a bit of red in my white farmhouse kitchen. I think I’m finally done decorating and rearranging for the holidays.
The finishing touch in my Christmas kitchen is a small faux fir tree tucked in a stone crock.
I love poinsettias at Christmas time, do you?

Jennifer, that wintermint cake looks so amazing. Wow! I also LOVE all your vintage ornaments and that Ironstone. Do you find tons in your area. I don’t see much up here. But maybe I’m not looking in the right places. 😉 Wishing you a very Happy Christmas! x
I love your house at any time of year, but Christmas is special there!
You built-in is dreamy! Love your simple touches of Christmas cheer. Hope to have such a beautiful kitchen in my farmhouse someday, but I don’t think I will be getting a kitchen for Christmas this year. So thanks for making my day by sharing yours!
Very pretty and just my style! I’m going on an online shopping spree tonight to try and get some of my shopping done. Thank Heaven for internet shopping!
I’m in love with your kitchen!

Okay…so I gave up sugar, as delicious as that cake looks…and I know it is 😉 , I’ll pass and have a glass of wine 😉 . I’ve heard you speak highly of that wine, I may have to try it. It would make a great Christmas gift for myself…Ha! Merry Christmas!
