 The Kitchen is decorated in a Candy and Gingerbread theme for Christmas.....
We will start with this wall........

On the side of the hutch, is Tree #11!!
This 4 1/2 foot Tree is decorated with candy, gingerbread and kitchen ornaments!!
It is topped with a bow made of red and white ribbon and candy picks tucked into the top!!
There are 2 different sets of peppermint candy lights on the Tree!!
A pair of child's skates rest at the base of the Tree.....
Next to the Tree on a stand is a Mr. Christmas Ball ornament that lights up and plays 10 different Christmas Songs!!
Back to this wall that is the focal point of the Kitchen........
On the shelf ( that my Dad built) to the left of the hutch......
One of a set of vintage Salt and Pepper Shakers and some Christmas picks tucked in here and there.....
On top of the hutch are my Kitchen Santa's!
A Bow and a large candy cane hang in the center of the hutch......
Top Shelf......
Middle shelf....

Candy Bar on the Bottom Shelf.....
Santa's Sweet Shop!!
All these jars were bought at yard sales, flea markets and thrift shops!!
We are not tempted to eat any of the candy because I use it from year to year!!
On the side of the hutch hangs a vintage apron.......
The bottom part......

 Chalkboard ornaments hang from the drawer knobs.....
  A "Candy" House
A cute bear.......
The shelf on the right side of the hutch......

Candy ornaments hang from the chandy......

And from a lighted garland.......
Santa Chef.......
On the old window sill......
A vintage Christmas napkin......
A Lady head vase
Looking over at another wall in the Kitchen.....
The sofit......
This was a blank chalkboard that I bought for 80% off at Michael's and I copied the design of this ornament......
On the counter top.......
A silver tray from Dollar Tree that I spray painted both with chalkboard paint and red spray paint.......
A lighted Santa planter in the corner......
My Coffee and Tea Bar.....

I hung the lid from a Christmas tin!!

I hosted a Christmas party for 8 of our friends earlier in the week and these 2 bowls were a hostess gift from one of our friend's!!


Aren't they cute???

And they are Lenox!!





Christmas mugs......
More Tea and Flavored Coffee
On top of the Refrigerator.....

Gingerbread Houses and Nutcrackers......
Above the doorway to the Dining Room.......

  3. Love love love it all! What is cheerier than red in a kitchen at Christmas time? There are too many things vying for an 'I especially like' mention. The lady head planter - fabulous! The crocks with the rolling pins - AWESOME.
    So glad you took the time to share on your blog with all you've got going on. You always lift my spirits.

  9. Debbie, I can get lost and caught up in touring your kitchen, there are so many cute things to look at, the snowman teapot caught my eye and the Apple canisters remind me of my aunt, she had a set like that when I was growing up.

    Loving the Christmas season!!

    Thank you for being a frequent visitor of Oh My Heartsie Girls parties to share your blogs.

    Wishing you and your husband a very Merry Christmas!!

  18. Debbie, I'm stopping by to wish you a very merry Christmas! I need to follow your example and use only candy that is over a year old. I'm guilty of dipping into the candy containers this time of year. Ha!
    Your kitchen candy land is full of treats! Merry, Merry!

  19. Goodness, Debbie! Your home must be Christmas central!!!! So much to see and it all makes me smile -- even down to the red and green sugar and flour jars. Merry Christmas!
