Fa-la-la-la-la..... la-la-la-la! I love to decorate my kitchen and breakfast room for Christmas!
It's my absolute favorite!
Come on in... baby, it's cold outside...
I'm joining 11 of my blog besties decking our halls and spreading Christmas Cheer. You can find a list of beautiful and creative home participating at the bottom of this post.
The breakfast room is decorated in lots of woodland naturals... pinecones and evergreens!
I think it looks warm and rich with lots of black and white checks and plaid!
I picked up several live evergreens at Lowe's (VERY REASONABLE)... and planted them in white bowls. After Christmas I'll plant them outside.
The center evergreen is on a little black stool to give it extra height.
I tied evergreen and Cyprus to the back of each chair with back and white ribbon.
The evergreens are all faux... but that will be our little secret!
I was a "real greens" snob... but I can get such beautiful faux greens now and they are not messy at all!! I do, however miss their lovely fresh scent!
I put a simple evergreen garland around the chandy!
Small wreath were hung on the shutters on either side of the breakfast room.
On the other side of the table I set up a cocoa station.
I used a vintage 7 Up crate to hold white cocoa mugs...
YUMMY!
The breakfast room is almost ready for Christmas! I'll do a little rearranging and
serve Christmas Brunch to family and friends!

Beautifully arranged and decorated, Yvonne. You always do the best table displays. Love the checked ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting in the car right now and headed over to relax around your breakfast table with you!!! Well, okay I wish I could!!! The natural decor is sooo inviting. You should try Scentsicles (get them at Lowe's) to place in your faux greenery for a fresh balsam scent. I hope you're doing well after your surgery.

ReplyDeleteI can well see why it is your favorite, Yvonne. The greenery is perfect. I have to have faux because of allergies.
ReplyDeleteYou should link your holiday post with us for Pink Saturday.
This is so beautiful Yvonne. Love the cocoa station, how fun is that. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSo perfectly beautiful. What a gorgeous and festive home you have created!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always my friend...love everything about it!!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, coming to your blog always cheers me up! You have the best displays and beautiful ideas! Love those potted cypress trees from Lowe's (I always end up drying them up!). Happy to have been part of the tour with you:)
ReplyDeleteI love how you've decorated your home! I would transplant it exactly into my house if I could! Your swags and sprays look absolutely real! Do you have any tips on where to find good quality greens like yours? I have tried Michaels and Hobby Lobby, but they look artificial. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteYvonne your home is so beautiful! I love the potted evergreens too, so gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletexo
Everything looks beautiful. Little secret about the faux greens, just spray them with a little pine room spray.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Yvonne! I'm just now getting around to the house tours.. entertaining and work has been overdrive. I love the crate, greens, and pinecones. The woodland feel is one I too embrace living in the PNW. Hope you are enjoying the festivities of the season and making memories with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteMerry, Merry!
