Christmas Kitchen Shelf

November 10, 2014

Since we’re not hosting Thanksgiving this year, I’ve been ready to start getting the house ready for Christmas, especially since we’re getting ready for The Vintage Whites Market. These next few months are going to be really, really busy. 😀

So, when Sonya from At Home With The Barkers and Melissa from Daisy Mae Bell asked me to share my Christmas Mantel, I couldn’t wait to get busy decorating. And even thought we don’t have a mantel in our home, I decided to share our Christmas Kitchen Shelf.

Christmas Mantel Tour

This year, I’ve decided to decorate the house with a simple Christmas in mind. To set the stage for everything else I’ll be doing, I kept our kitchen shelf very natural, but with touches of red, and as we get a bit closer, I’ll be adding in lots of fresh greenery. Here’s what I’ve came up with:

I really love this combination…

I’ve collected the silver dishes over time and they were the perfect touch of metallic to add with the wood and white dinnerware…

And I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you just how much I love wood cutting boards. They’re one of my favorite items to cluster together…

I also bought several grain sacks for some exciting new things, but until I use them, I couldn’t help and hang them from the hooks. They’re beautiful.

And I loved them paired with the rosette wreath I made last year and shared in our Christmas home tour…

And even though the rest of the house has Christmas decor strung from one end to the other, having this shelf decorated and lovely makes me so silly happy…

It’s a pretty view to look at from the kitchen sink…

Now all I need to to do, is finish the rest of the house. But if truth be told, I’m excited to add/ move around our decor for the next couple of weeks. That way, I’ll have everything just right for this years Christmas home tour…

      Ok, just found your project gallery, but couldn’t find the rosette wreath, do you have a link for that too? I just love your kitchen, I know white cabinets are very popular but your kitchen is what I was thinking for mine, painting the walls a white color and leaving the cabinets dark, maybe accenting the island. Did you get the cabinets that way or did you stain them darker? I was thinking about staining mine darker. I like some wood colors. Just love all that you do : )

        I can’t find the black, curved shelving bracket that you used on the shelf. Would you mind sharing where you found those? I’m in the process of making a similar shelf and those are just perfect! Thanks!

          Hi there! Unfortunately, the original shelf came with the brackets. I just gave it a little makeover. Sorry that’s not more helpful!
