The Kitchen

12.20.2012

I shared the breakfast room table all ready for a big family Christmas breakfast and now here are a few festive touches added to the kitchen.



 Bessie got a nice necklace of red ornaments to make her feel pretty.

 A fresh rosemary plant is wrapped in burlap and tied with a gingham bow and it sits in a basket tray filled with ornaments.


 This gingham bow is really a chain or cord cover that I had tucked away.

This fresh rosemary smells so good and I have trimmed it several times.


Tiny grain sack stockings from Dreamy Whites added to the canisters.

 Hot cocoa anyone?




Tomorrow is my favorite room decorated for the holidays.

    So many nice touches! Love the burlap wrapped rosemary plant. And I am very partial to Mason jars right now...the red bulbs in that jar is also a wonderful idea. Your kitchen looks very Christmas-y. Merry Christmas!

    Kim,

    Your kitchen looks fantastic, I love Bessie and I love the necklace too cute. Your kitchen looks beautiful and so festive and warm. Rosemary never works in the house for me for some reason.

    I love everything you've done in here. The ornament necklace for Bessie just makes everything. Now I'll definitely have to get mini grain sack stockings since I've seen you use them on your canisters. Would have never thought of that.
