Well, this year the Spode will be spending another lonely year boxed up in the garage, and we'll be eating on paper plates!
I knew I had to do something, and I wanted it to be easy. My red and white dishes were already there, so I just added some greenery, a few snowflakes, and some of my Wallace silver sleigh bells....
Every Christmas, my mother-in-law has given me a Wallace silver sleigh bell. I've been married for twenty years, so, yes, I have twenty of these beautiful silver bells! I just love the silver finish, and you know what I like even better? They make a fabulously easy Christmas decoration! How's your holiday decorating coming along?
Heather,
ReplyDeleteWhat - your kids weren't excited about countertops? LOL!
I really love the red and white dishes! I think they are just as Christmas-y as the Spode! The cabinet looks gorgeous!

I like your snowflake and silver bell look. My decorating is coming slowly. Not sure what my problem is this year, but I feel so behind and so uninspired. I need to watch a good Christmas movie to get me in the mood. Have fun with the kitchen. It will be so worth it when it's all done.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the Christmas header!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that although I liked the cabinet with the Spode, I like it even better this way. Very pretty and I love your holiday header.
ReplyDeleteI like the cabinet better this way too! So beautiful. Love the idea of getting those silver bells every Christmas. That's sweet!
ReplyDeleteI think your kids' reactions were about as favorable as ours! Although Tori is pleased with her little pull out drawer to store her favorite snacks. Love the simple elegance of the corner shelf display. I am still decorating here in East Tennessee!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Countdown to Christmas...

I love your kitchen...it's not done yet and I
ReplyDeletealready love it..you and I have two the same
things in our house, I'll post the pics so you
can see!!
I love the roof line of the kitchen..and the
windows over the sink! Love the size and style.
I know this will be an amazing room and I'm
already trying not to get depressed about my
own sad little kitchen.
Maybe someday a remodel but for now, it's paint
from a can and a new sink.
I love that your MIL has given you sleigh bells,
what a wonderful keepsake..your dishes, adorable.
enjoy your day - your house is amazing and so
much fun to see, thanks for sharing
This is simply stunning! I love it!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. And now, I'm going to go read about your kitchen remodel. I glanced at the pics quickly and your ceiling caught my eye so need to explore further. Nice meeting you! I'm now a follower.
Those red and white dishes are just yummy! They're perfect for X-mas and very versatile for the rest of the year as well.
ReplyDeleteIt all goes together so perfectly. The dishes, bells, snow flakes. Very nice and festive! Looking forward to seeing your kitchen too...
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! I've missed you! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment today! Your corner cabinet looks so festive and beautiful. I am so excited to hear more about your kitchen remodel! Clearly your kitchen has great bones, and you have wonderful taste so there is no denying it's going to be fabulous! I remember my great grandma's "bathroom kitchen." Funny, I hadn't thought much about it before! I hope all is well with you and your family. Best of luck on the remodel! I'll be anxiously awaiting updates!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes and Blessings,

ReplyDeleteglad you stopped by, those glittered stars are gift tags from Target! I buy tags I like and use them in decorating and also hang them on my tree. Hope you are having a great Holiday season so far!
Rebecca
I love your header! and your corner looks very "Chritmas" very pretty; How is the kitchen going on? i am late for my decorations as i have got flu!
ReplyDeleteLove the hutch with the bells and the china. So subtle but so Christmasy. Looking forward to more kitchen posts.
ReplyDeleteMy mom wasn't happy either when I told her that my gift for her for Christmas was me moving out. I guess we always want gifts we actually really want.
