Lots to see...
My favorite kitchen Christmas project
this year has to be the pantry doors.
I added lace sheers I saved
from my mother's house
to the chicken wire doors.
Then added two small wreaths.
Here's one side done.
I wanted to hide my non-Christmas dishes.
The other dish's colors would
conflict with the Christmas colors.
First I added pinecones and red bows.
Then I found the box containing these.
I just love this!
Our handmade 'Merry Christmas' sign hangs
above the pantry and a Longaberger
laundry basket gets it's red-ticking
liner flipped over and is filled
with evergreen branches.
The kitchen island. The red checked runner
is a window valance I found for $1.00.

The picket fence tote we made sits at the
end of the counter and hold cutting boards.
The vintage scale holds a red pillar candle
and a ring of wine corks.
The little thrift store milk glass lamp gets
a Longaberger Holly lampshade
and sits inside a wreath.
Holly pie plates in the wrought iron pie stand
are filled with red measuring cups, spoons,
and Christmas goodies.

Spode tea cups are used for scoops.
The pot rack is trimmed with garland.
Large copper cookie cutters are tied with
raffia and trimmed with a
wood beaded heart garland.
The top of the refrigerator holds cookie jars.

The caddy holds bottles of oils and vinegars
that are topped with Christmas wine stoppers.

A Christmas black cat that holds a scrubbie.
I bought that when we had our black cat,
named Sadie. She lived to be 26!
That was long before the Yorkies.
The chicken feeder holds lots of Spode plates
Kitchen utensils tucked into baskets.
Last....but not least, the doggie's get
a Bow Wow Christmas.
Cheers!
