Kitchen Christmas Decorations:
I’m so excited to be joining the Blogger Stylin’ Holiday Home Tour for Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas to share my Kitchen Christmas Decorations. Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. has invited me back for another year, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join in the fun. If you’re currently on the tour and coming from Megan Pflug Designs, welcome! I’m so happy to have you. If this is your first stop on the tour, and you want to visit all of the bloggers’ homes, you can click here to start at the beginning.
Last week I was honored to share my Holiday Home Tour with you (You can find it here in case you missed it). If you’ve been following IBC for some time, you probably noticed that a few rooms were missing from the tour. Today, I’m going to give you a look into my kitchen. Plus, *sings* since I knew you were coming, I baked a cake! Well, not a cake exactly, but a Pink Velvet Yule Log. Wait ’till you get a closer look at this beauty!
Now, let’s get this tour started!
Kitchen Christmas Decorations Home Tour:
Now, before we head to the kitchen, I thought you might want to see my front entryway. I don’t use this door much, but I felt it needed a touch of the season.
I decorated my coat rack with a bit of holiday bling and and some scarves.
On the opposite wall, I decided to tuck new artwork into my mirrored frames. I found these snowy pine tree prints on Etsy and thought they’d be perfect not only for Christmas, but for the entire winter season.
I also replaced my colorful bench with a more neutral piece I picked up at HomeGoods. With a few seasonal pillows and a throw, this space is looking quite welcoming.
Christmas Kitchen Decorations:
Over in the kitchen, I kept things simple with just a few colorful touches for Christmas.
I don’t think I told you that I purchased a real tree so I could cut greens from it to decorate my mantel. The top of the tree looked so perfect that I decided to chop it off, put it in a vase with some water, and set it up in my kitchen. It wasn’t that I needed a fourth tree in my house; I just couldn’t let that top go to waste.
On my bench I added this Merry and Bright pillow (For details about it, visit Shop IBC.)
Just behind it on my windowsill is one of my favorite Christmas decorations. Why? Well, because these little plastic deer are from my grandma and hold lots of beautiful holiday memories.
Also, above the cabinet which hides my microwave, I added modern wood houses I found at HomeGoods. I also tucked in lots of adorable tea lights from Finding Home Farms around my kitchen for an evening glow. The little jars are just too cute, and I love the Joyeux Noel scent.
The cabinet next to my bench, which houses all of my white servingware, is adorned with mini lights and a few bottle brush trees.
Sidenote: If you are new to IBC and are wondering why I have old cabinets and pink formica countertops, you can check out this post here. It’s where I talk a bit more about my vintage kitchen.
On the opposite side of the room I added a few mini wreaths to my DIY pegboard organizer which pairs nicely with a Buddy the Elf print from Lindsay Letters.
Elsewhere in the kitchen, Santa mugs, peppermint sticks, and pine give a seasonal touch.
My DIY marshmallow wreath also made it’s way into the kitchen this year. I can’t believe this is three years old and still looks as good as new!
As you can see, in this space, pops of bold reds bring it all together.
I’m still loving the lighted Christmas ball and pine garland on my banister.
It’s quite the showpiece! You can see more of that here.
Now, I don’t know about you, but all this home touring has worked up my appetite!
Thankfully, I’ve prepared a Pink Velvet Yule Log to fill our bellies and warm our hearts. Let’s eat!
If you can believe it, I’d never made a yule log before. I’m certain I broke all of the rules with this pastel pink version, but I couldn’t stop myself.
With a swirl center, piped “bark” frosting, chocolate “mushrooms,” and a lot of sprinkles, this is a festive and magical treat. It actually turned out much better than I ever expected.
What do you think?
For more details on this Pink Velvet Yule Log and the recipe, I’ve created a Bonus 12 Days of Christmas post! You can check that out and get the recipe here.
As always, Thank YOU for joining me today for Christmas in the Kitchen. Again, for that Pink Velvet Yule Log recipe, click here.
Also, I’m the final stop on the Blogger Stylin’ Holiday Home Tour. I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my Christmas Kitchen Decorations!
The yule log looks perfect! You got the swirl just right and that is not easy. Great job! I am just in love with the bannister garland with all the colorful ornaments. You inspire me
What a happy space you’ve created!
Hi Michael, I came across your blog from Pinterest where I found the crack candy recipe (I am making that this weekend with my mom and my daughters-THANK YOU IT LOOKS DELICIOUS). I scanned through your blog and absolutely love it – your house and décor is simply amazing – I truly am jealous!!! I have one important question though, as much as I LOVE the Christmas decorating, I need to know where you got the wine bottle holder that is above your Christmas tree? I am doing a wine theme for my niece and I would LOVE to get this for her as well. Thanks Michael and Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you SO much! Best of luck with the candy making! 🙂
The wine rack source isn’t going to be much help. It was a gift, from Pottery Barn, over ten years ago. From what I know, they no longer sell it. However, you might poke around there for something similar.
xo Michael
Beautiful as always! But that marshmallow wreath – G.E.N.I.U.S.!
The deer from your grandmother are so cute! I have vintage ornaments that were on my parents’ first Christmas tree. There’s just something about 50’s and 60’s kitsch.:)
Thank you for another visual feast! I am loving this series.
Love <3
Such a happy and festive home. Where did you find the wooden houses? They make me smile as did the Buddy the Elf print.
That pink cake just makes me squeal! It’s darling. I am always so in awe of your ability to mix new and old, vintage and modern styles of decor and have it all look so put together. You really have a talent for it and you inspire me to try harder to make my family’s living space more beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world so generously. You make this world a more beautiful place to be. Merry Christmas, Michael!
Perfection! I adore your style seriously you rock!!
It is beautiful and festive to say the least, I am jealous. You have such a fine sense of putting things together and decorating. I love, love, love your rainbow tree. It is glorious. Your pink yule log ain’t so bad either. Keep up the wonderful work and have a Merry One.
