10th day of December I’m dreaming of a (red &) white Christmas
Today I am dreaming of a red and white Christmas kitchen!
Following last year, and the story of roasting the turkey with the help of a broom shaft and the long awaited kitchen makeover, I have been anticipating decorating our kitchen with even more enthusiasm than usual.
I will let the photos do most of the talking:
Some jingley bells and gingham ribbon to welcome you in.
So festive words
A heart tree
Decorations on the kitchen cupboard handles
A tree with it’s own Nativity Set (don’t forget to join in my Nativity Set Carnival on 21 December – button in the side bar)
A Christmas cake, ready to eat (what would we do without Marks and Spencers?!) – as only one member of our house enjoys Christmas cake, he tends to start eating it before Christmas, or it will never be finished!
In the background you can see the “kids” tree in the family room – but that will have to wait for another day.
When you see all the details in close up, there appears to be a lot going on, but as this more general photo shows, actually it is quite subtle (I hope)!!!
So do you have and Christmas decor in your kitchen? You know I would love to know!
PS Don’t forget the charity auction for my Celtic Mist bracelet is still on-going.
Also joining in at Hooked on Houses, and The Inspired Room and Southern Hospitality
Come back tomorrow for more!
from the detailes photos i thought they were a lot…but you are right!! the whole photo of the kitchen looks very minimal! but all those itsy-bitsy things are really adorable!!! i never thought of decorating the kitchen… i don’t know why…(?) next year maybe….in another house…in another country….
I love your kitchen decor especially the little ones on the cupboard handles, I decorate the kitchen also and yes its red..love all your pic’s
I love your heart tree!
Love your photography, love all your things, love that you’re in Ireland … thanks for opening your home!
How pretty! Red and white is so pretty for Christmas! I wish I had some of those decorations for our cupboards!
Hope to see you next week for the Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash!
Hmm what a pretty kitchen. Red and white brings Christmas cheer and your kitchen looks really a classic in all white.
I do love red and white in a kitchen for the holidays. So cheery! I have quite a bit of red in mine, too.
I just added the link to your Christmas Nativity Set carnival on my blog. I think that’s a great idea for a party!
Have a great weekend. 🙂
The red and white theme is fantastic. Love the heart tree.

Great. Now I have to run out and get cute little ornament things to hang from my cabinet doors. JM! Stop posting pictures and making me think of stuff! I don’t know if I can afford the time or money to continue coming here.
Your photos are amazing and your Christmas decor is darling!
