The window gives us wonderful panoramic views of our backyard where we frequently are treated with deer trotting by. I’ve never shown my breakfast area in its entirety before as there was always some renovation project or other that wasn’t finished.
But everything has been completed in that area now, including window treatments, new diy rustic shelves above the sideboard and a new modern light fixture.
So grab a cup of cocoa and sit back and relax because this is a photo heavy post! I mixed in Christmas touches with the everyday items that live on my kitchen counters all of the time. In fact, I bought every single roll of black and white checked ribbon that two different Michael’s had!
The island sports a squatty snowman on a red sleigh and a couple of snow laden trees. For our upcoming Christmas family gathering, I set the entire area up as a hot drink bar. The long container in the center has a space for cocoa pods as well as regular and decaf coffee.
Nothing really changed on them, except that I added a glittery Merry Christmas banner and a few red touches to tie in with the rest of the kitchen.
I won’t spend a lot of time on the shelves today since this post is already so long, so click HERE to take a closer look at them. I’m sending my warmest Christmas wishes to you, your friends and your family as we all celebrate the joyous occasion of our Saviour’s birth.
