The best part of my newly revealed kitchen…the ease it lends itself to Christmas decorating… and Valentine’s Day as well I guess…but we have a few months until that event. The crisp white with touches of red only needs a few holiday elements to look polished, simplistic and classic. I may have to give away all my glitter and gold accents…just kidding. This Christmas my motto seems to be less is more. Hopefully I have managed to also evoke a feeling of a cozy, warm home because that is what I, and probably most of my readers, long for during these stressful times. Grab a cup of hot chocolate and come inside…
Simple (and free) greens in an antique Swedish dough bowl add a lot of impact. I love the simple red berry wreaths in the windows.
My Grandmother’s church was made for a beautiful snow cover and simple pine trees. An antique postcard finishes the vignette.
A Swedish Santa stands guard over vintage cookie cutters, waiting for the baking to begin.
But until that baking time occurs, we can enjoy the adorable gingerbread decorations…and the Santa as well!
And what says Christmas more than plaid…even cuter on a little Princess…singing on a hay bale!

I think the last few years I put up so much in the kitchen to cover it up. This year I want the kitchen to shine with just a few things. I enjoy keeping it natural.

Sounds like you and your Princess might enjoy it also. Merry Christmas and love having you share at Fresh Market Friday Linkup!
