Our Christmas Kitchen Decor. Did I really just say that? I cannot believe how the year has flown by. To be honest I’m not quite ready to decorate for Christmas yet. The trees are just now turning here in St. Louis and I’m enjoying  beautiful fall colors in all their glory.

I can’t help but smile when I look out the window or see a leaf dancing joyfully to the ground as the sun shines a spotlight on it. I am more of an embrace the moment then plan for the future girl, so it’s a good thing I married a man to balance me and have friends to motivate me!

However, decorating for Christmas is my favorite and I am beyond excited to decorate our new kitchen! I dreamed of this moment for the last few years and it feels even better than I could have imagined. I’m also excited to be joining friends in doing so as part of our Seasons of Home series. Their grace and style is always inspiring and makes me feel right at home, I know it will make you feel the same when you visit.

One of the many things I love about our new cream kitchen is that it makes a beautiful backdrop for just about anything. A few simple touches and it’s transformed into a Christmas kitchen – decked for cooking, baking and sharing festive moments with family and friends.

decorating with branches from your yard

Before I purchase anything to decorate for a season or holiday, I look to our yard. There are so many pretty seasonal finds in your own backyard, if you get lucky, you may even have some pretty berries! It’s pretty amazing, especially since we’re weeks away from fresh Christmas decor becoming available!

Christmas decorating ideas for a hutch / cabinet

I added a mix of hypericum berries {which I find at the grocery store for $4/bunch} and branches to the hutch and created a centerpiece for the island.

A simple branch above the hood adds a lot of festive detail.

And a simple red stripe towel adds a classic touch.

I also love adding a little touch of “green” to my lanterns. Sometimes I’ll tie a bow around them, but I’m enjoying an understated approach for now. The hypericum berries are nestled into the wire to secure them and will dry to a beautiful dark red hue.

  1. This is so simple and beautiful! Kitchens don’t get decorated enough, and this one is the perfect setting. Well done!

  2. Julie, it is the quietness of your home that keeps me clicking by again and again. So lovely and peaceful, just what a momma of three boys needs to soak in regularly. ???? Well done, well done

    1. Thank you, Katie, you’re too kind. I will tell you, this mama of 3 girls is cleaning up tape, markers and tiny slivers of freshly cut paper EVERYWHERE on an hourly basis if it makes you feel any better. You don’t even want to see the basement.

  3. You’re kitchen is very pretty and very “quiet” which I love. I wanted to let you know that when I click the link for Dear Lillie it goes to Maisondepax.

  4. Gorgeous lighting- love the gold. And your kitchen is just stunning. Love the simple Christmas touches. xxxx
