I seem to have a thing for stars this year in the kitchen,
they are popping up everywhere...
Some here,
I love these little voltives
they have been making their Christmas appearance for some years now
always balancing on the window ledge.
and
these little IKEA candle holders with their punched-out stars
are given special attention this year hanging in the window!
and
this year the pantry got some special attention with these hanging paper stars
and
we have also added a touch of gold here and there....
The lovely angel is the keeper of the taps...
sorry for the poor quality of image
but it is happily
snowing and very Christmas-y outside!!
and although we played around with a little table-top tree
here at this end of the counter
we finally decided on this vase stuffed full of everygreen boughs
and wrapped up with a gold bow!!
Finally the
addition of fresh greenery to the pantry makes it feel a tad more Christmas-y...
So,
that is it,
The Christmas Kitchen!
À tantôt et Joyeux Noël!!
Oh yah, I am in the party mood!!:

We have the same Ikea lanterns in various colours and we LOVE them so much. They're great for out on the deck on summer nights because the breeze can't blow them out. Merry Christmas Donna [et al.] Love Bardy
ReplyDeleteHi Bardy, Welcome and Merry Christmas to you as well! These lanterns are so great at any time of the year! Hope you come back for another visit!
ReplyDeleteJust enough touches very nice! And why haven't I seen that rug !? Its perfect for the space!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas kitchen Donna. And I adore those Ikea lanterns! You're getting more snow? We have a bit on the ground at our house but not in the city. Happy weekend! Pamela
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your kitchen subway tile! Next to the dark wood floor, your white kichen is a beauty! A new follower, andrea@townandprairie
ReplyDeleteComeca, perhaps I take less shots where the floor is revealed but yes I too love that rug! You have a good eye!
ReplyDeletePamela, snow has been falling all day and this time I think it is here to stay!
Welcome Andrea! I like the mix of dark floors with white too! well, I guess that is obvious ;)
Your Christmas kitchen looks great, love the stars and the snow...it never or almost never snow here (GA).
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Debbie, we just woke up to lots of snow! It is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat little touches of Christmas. I love all the things you have hung in your windows. I don't quite know why, but I've never done that. I'll have to give it a try (next year maybe - doubt I'll get around to it this year). I have a thing for those IKEA lanterns too. We have 2 on our front porch.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks lovely, Donna!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the paper stars in your last post (?) & meant to comment on them...I love them!
I also love the hanging Ikea lanterns. They're fantastic! Makes me wish we had an Ikea around here.
Also, I'm jealous that you're getting snow! Send some down, please.
Grace, hanging those lanterns is completely new to me this year. I do not know why I did that but it just happened and I love it! I bet you can find a window in your lovely home just begging for those little lanterns!
ReplyDeleteGina, the closest IKEA is 3 hours away. When I go, oh boy....not pretty!
What a sweet, cozy, Christmasy kitchen! Love that bucket full of pine boughs!! You've been getting alot of snow lately up there, haven't you...? We've been relatively blessed down here with very little....which is just fine wit me. lol!

LOVE your Christmas kitchen, looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this kitchen holiday decor.
ReplyDeleteYour Kitchen looks so warm and inviting. I love your christmas decor, isn't Ikea fab? I think i am your newest follower ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad I found you through Debbiedoo. You kitchen is delightful. The carpet caught my eye, too. I assume it is a vintage Hammedan. I sold a decorating client one in the same pattern. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteYes Maureen it is a vintage Persian rug. Unfortunately I do not know enough about them other than the fact that I fell in love with these rugs years back. I have a great source if you ever need a lead.
ReplyDeleteHey there, saw you featured over at Debbie's. Always happy to see a fellow Canadian and I wanted to pop in to invite you to my Pin'Inspiration party that is held each Thursday (Wednesday night).
ReplyDeleteHappy new follower.
