Decked and Done! Kitchen Hearth Room Christmas 2012

My Kitchen~Hearth Room is all decked out for Christmas 

and it's put me in the mood for a party!  

Unfortunately,(or maybe fortunately) 

Mr. Beaux is not having the company Christmas party 

here this year.  

Maybe I will invite a bunch of friends 

over for drinks and such.  

Come in and take a look at my traditional Christmas 

decor in my Kitchen~Hearth Room for 2012.

I usually use traditional colors in this room because 

my furniture lends itself to this scheme, 

but also because I always put out the kids 

handmade treasures on the tree.  

Besides, red and green just says Christmas to me!

Our family tree is in the corner by my French bench 

and it is filled with all of the sentimental ornaments.  

I just tucked some red berries inside 

and used the burlap bows that I bought at Nell Hill's tent sale. 

 Santa was a gift to us from our friends in China.  

Well, hey they make everything there right?  

He is handsome though isn't he?  

OK, indulge me here... 

An ornament only a Mother can love!

And some silly reindeer we made one year as gifts.  

Most of them are missing one eye. ;)

I hung three of these pine wreaths along the window wall 

with the script ribbon from Pottery Barn.  

They really make the house smell Christmasy.

Here is a look at the whole room.  

I've switched the old rug back in since it's Winter, although it 

doesn't feel much like it here!

I showed you my dish cupboard last week.  

You can see it again here.  

I went out looking for new pillows this week 

and came up short.  

So, I stenciled these pillows that I bought at Decor Steals 

with a kind of snowflake pattern.

Sorry, really bad picture... but you get the idea.  

I picked up this cute pillow at Marshall's.  

I love mixing patterns and fabrics.  

I kept my built in cabinets simple with a real tree in a wine box and a Santa from my collection.

I'll plant the trees outside after Christmas.  

I can always use more evergreen trees.  

On the Kitchen side I've decked out the upper cabinets 

with garland, lights and berries.  

My ironstone platters and new crown plates make a good backdrop for Christmas!

I threw some old garland, berries and lights 

inside the galvanized bucket.  

When I was up there earlier this fall I saw that I still had electrical outlets there but no over cabinet lighting.  

After our flood I guess some things fell between the cracks!

Another Santa stands on top of my cake plate.

And look at my Paperwhites 

that I planted just a few weeks ago!  

I tied them up with a red ribbon and placed them in my doughbowl filled with pinecones.  

Little green and red mini ornaments 

rest inside the red transferware dish.  

My new purchase: Miss Beaux calls him 

"Alternative Santa" and his reindeer.  

He is sitting next to my rustic candle holder

 on the kitchen island.  

I hope you enjoyed a look at Christmas 2012 in my Kitchen~Hearth Room.  

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,

XO Cindy
