Today, I’m sharing our Christmas kitchen!
We’re so happy to be sharing our kitchen all decorated for Christmas!
Our kitchen is a room that usually gets neglected when it comes to Christmas decorating, which doesn’t make a lot of sense, because we spend so much time in this room. This year I added some holiday touches to the kitchen and breakfast room areas, and it sets the tone for the entire house.
Family and friends always come in our back door which opens into the kitchen and breakfast room, so it’s usually the first room that’s seen. It definitely needed some Christmas cheer!
The french blue commode that sits right inside our back door is so easy to decorate and I usually switch out the decor on this piece seasonally.
It sits on a wall between the dining room and the family room and it’s definitely the focal point in this space.
The commode is such a fabulous color of blue, and it inspired me to stick with a blue theme for the holiday decor.
I started the decorating by moving two old stone angels to the center of the commode and surrounded them with garland, adding embellishments of blue ornaments, dried hydrangeas, and fresh clippings from the yard.
Adding the sparkly gold trees were the icing on the cake!
Our old farm table, that belonged to my grandparents, sits in the breakfast nook in front of a curved bank of windows that overlook our patio.
I keep an antique dough bowl displayed on the table most of the time, so all I needed to do was change out the contents.
It was quick and easy to fill the dough bowl with moss balls in different sizes, tuck in some greenery, blue ornaments, and done!
I have boxwood wreaths all through the house, and I added a couple of small ones to the dry bar, one tied with luscious blue velvet ribbon.

About twenty five years ago, I found some grapevine trees at an outdoor nursery and fell in love with their rustic look.
I ended up purchasing them in several different sizes, and every year at Christmas, I pull them out, adorn them with white lights, and place them throughout the house.
They add such a simple look, and they work year after year.
I placed three of the grapevine trees on the kitchen counters, along with an old silver mini tree that I’ve had for years, placing it in one of my most recent finds, a large French mustard pot.
Another recent find was a fabulous antique French milk pitcher with “Lait” printed on the front. It’s holding a simple arrangement of clippings from the yard.
Standing at the base of the sparkling trees is a precious lamb.
Lambs and sheep hold a special place in my heart because of their spiritual symbology, and this precious fella is the perfect adornment for a holiday vignette!
The kitchen looks so festive now with these simple Christmas touches, and we’re enjoying seeing the white lights glowing through the windows.
Rumor has it that there’s a sweet little girl in our house looking for Santa Paws.
Miss RubyLou claims to have been a very good girl this year, albeit a bit precocious.
What do you think……..will Santa Paws find her?
I hope you’ve enjoyed this little tour of our Christmas kitchen!
Cheers, Cindy

Cindy loved the sheep head in the frame. What did you use as background for the sheep’s head ?
Hi Mollie! The sheep head is mounted onto a framed chalkboard, with a preserved boxwood wreath around the neck. Hope this helps!
Would you share where you found all of your beautiful crowns?
They have come from various estate sales!
Dear Cindy , I know you have moved and I am praying for you both and your pup. I pray you find the home you need and you are going to be happy. I can not imagine. I wish I could have seen your sale? Probably I could not have afforded a thing but I love your treasures and I am sure you will hunt some more. I know it is addicting!!! Me too.
Thank you, Jenny! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Your RubyLou is adorable and I love your home too!
Thank you, Robin!
I love your kitchen, the colors, so restful and calm….thank you for sharing! I have gradually shifted my colors over to aqua, pale greens and sea salt (I live in coastal SC)…our bedroom is very soothing with its french country touches…You inspire me to keep on going.
Eugenia, your home sounds beautiful! Love the colors!
I love everything about your home Cindy, no matter which room or how you decorate. You have exquisite taste. The colours you use are always fresh and calming and I love that you decorate with angels. May you have a Blessed Christmas. I’m sure that RubyLou will have a visit from Santa Paws, she’s such an adorable pup! I just love her.

Yes, I painted the commode. Here’s the link to the post: https://edithandevelynvintage.com/a-blue-french-provincial-dresser/
Just gorgeous! Your posts and pictures are always so beautiful and inspiring and they always give me fresh ideasforIittle tweaks I can make to my own house. I smile each time I see Miss Ruby Lou, it reminds me of my late grandmother. Her name was Ruby Bell, and she hailed from Urbana, so perhaps it is a popular name in that region! Blessings to you!
Thank you, Keli! You’re too sweet, and I love your grandmother’s name!
I love everything, but the lamb with the crown just touches my heart! Where do you find such lovely items!!

Have a blessed Christmas, I know it will be a little bittersweet, but know your dear sister is right there with you in spirit and her love does not waiver.
Thank you, Shelley! This first Christmas without my sister will definitely be bittersweet, but I’m trying to focus on all the wonderful memories I had with her. Merry Christmas!
Just a beautiful setting. The skinny kitchen island is something we may do in ours.. I had not thought of the step down with the 2 chairs…Are the cabinets a creamy white or pale gray? Do you remember the color they are painted? Everything is just perfect , including Ruby Lou and her name !!
Hi Frances! The cabinets are painted white, the color is Sherwin Williams Snowbound. Thank you so much for your sweet words!
Good morning! I love your milk bucket with beautiful pastoral scene and the cream bucket with the cow. Do you sell these? Merry Christmas!

Thank you dear friend! That mustard pot…..I found it a few weeks ago and went weak in the knees when I saw it! I’ve never seen another like it!
Your decor is absolutely beautiful. I love the blue touches throughout. You have inspired me! Your pup is adorable… who could resist that sweet mug 🙂
Thank you, Karen! It is definitely hard to resist Miss RubyLou, she is just too cute!
P.S. I know that Santa Paws will definitely be visiting Miss RubyLou! Although precocious she will get you by her charming looks! Who can resist that sweet face and
I am sure that she has been a very good girl this year!!
RubyLou has been very good, and a little mischievous! She is such a happy girl and she brings so much joy to our lives. I’m sure she is going to find a Christmas stocking filled with toys and dog bones on Christmas morning!
How can one not smile from ear to ear when gazing upon your beautiful home. Every detail is so exquisite and the total feel of each room and area is simply enchanting. Another beautiful tour Cindy. Have a Very Merry Day!
Thank you so much, dear friend!

Everything is beautiful as expected! Love the blue rosary on the Angel. I would love to spend time in your kitchen! Miss Ruby is sure to get everything she wants from Santa….what a little ham.
Thank you, Diane! Yes, RubyLou is definitely a ham! The blue rosary was a gift from my son several years ago, I cherish it.
