I received an early Christmas gift from Mr. Flu bug so I will be giving you all a glimpse of last years inspiration around my house. I will be back as soon as I feel a bit better.............
Christmas Kitchen in black and white:
You all have seen my kitchen dinette with its black and white color scheme.
I also carried it into the kitchen with just one little touch of red. I used red in the adjacent family room so it was a perfect little tie-in!!
Here is a picture of my dining room just for a reminder of the direction I am taking this year.

Now you can see just a small touch of the red that I will be introducing into the family room.

A few more tiny red touches. I have my silver Revere bowl full of scented pinecones and pomanders made out of limes. This bowl smells delicious!!

I put my crystal bottle stoppers in some of my glassware. I loved the repetition of the black stripes!!! Plus they look so sparkly and I do love sparkle at Christmas time.
I purchased two of these balls at Pier I. I thought they might work on the table, but they just said too much for that setting. I think they are perfect inside my cupboard.

How about some Jingle bells for your cupboards. I used napkin rings around my knobs for a festive little touch.
One last picture of my mini cypress trees with just a very small dash of sparkly glitter………

The kitchen is a warm place to be at Christmas time. Mulling spices in the Crock pot and the red lacquered tray ready for tea or coffee.
Candles are lit on the window sills. I have my crystal chandelier dimmed so it looks like candlelight. I just enjoy being in there so much.
Even washing dishes is fun this time of year!!! Boy I wish that feeling would last all year long!!
Merry,Merry Christmas from My Kitchen to YOURS!!

Tis the season I guess. Your kitchen is just dreamy, full of holiday magic and warmth...you Kathysue have the magic touch! Feel better!!
Still trying to get over mine! Hope your feeling better soon, love your kitchen colors, you did a fantastic job on it!
I feel your pain! I just got over round two. Antibiotics so it won't become respiratory.
Beautiful images, as always.
Be well.

Hope you bounce back quickly! I do have to say I thought the jingle bells with ribbons on the cab pulls were completely adorable!
