Good day folks! Today, I am sharing simple Christmas decorating ideas in the kitchen. When I say simple, I mean simple. I have seen some halls decked out to the nines. Believe me, I don’t pale in comparison, and I can’t even try. I love the holidays and celebrating with family and friends but I don’t care for all the work and effort. Y’all know I work my tail off, but I’m getting too old for all that lugging out of the bins of decor I have.
A pretty white pitcher filled with Christmas sprigs and greenery sits on top of my diy lazy Susan and my little diy snowmen salt and pepper shakers make the perfect companion to the entire vignette. SIMPLE.
I always like to add a pretty wreath to the window. This wreath is simple pine and sprigs. I added my DIY Owl ornaments, along with the cute little fuzzy owl I used on my DIY owl winter wreaths last year. I like to swap things out and make them different each year without having to buy new stuff. I just use what I have and change it up to look different from previous years.
Pie hutch with my that’s how I roll stenciled stocking, and my mod podged napkin board. I didn’t realize when creating that board how nicely it would coordinate with the table cloth curtains.
It just goes to show I am pretty consistent with colors and things I am drawn to.
You may have noticed a different kitchen table. Although, many memories were made on our old kitchen table this old one here called our names when we spotted it in an antique shop. I sold my other set in less than 10 minutes on a local sales site and women were literally bickering over who was first. I sold it for almost what we originally paid 11 years ago.
This one fits our space and needs much better. Plus, I just love the primitive country french look of it. We are not sure how old it is but it’s pretty old and beat up. I am sure at one point it was painted, but based on the actual wood underneath you can’t believe how well constructed it is.
Filling a glass jar with faux snow and ornaments is about as simple as it gets.
Let’s move on over to the other side.
Pretty pioneer napkins that I used for my table scape on Thanksgiving.
I just love all the fun colors and happiness they exude to me.
Vintage ball jars filled with dollar tree goodies.
I have mentioned a time or two how happy I am with my kitchen shelving. It’s a nice way to display cheer all year round in the windows.
I have had that pallet snowman for years now. Wait a minute, is that cob web I see?? Yep, it was, just went and cleaned it. Funny the things you notice in pictures.
Simple ribbon for two of the cabinets. I used duct tape on the inside to keep them adhered.
Gather here sign I hung a little quirky for a change. I think I have mastered imperfection.
I love my new seat cushions from Pioneer woman’s line. Again, happy vibrant colors that make me smile.
Wishing you all a very merry and bright Christmas and holiday season.

It’s all gorgeous, Debbie. And after spending 4 days getting my home together, I’m absolutely simplifying and making it easier next year. . . Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Your kitchen is so pretty, love your christmas decor
Chrystal
Looks so wintery. Love it.
I agree, too much for us Moms to do this time of year. It can be so stressful. But I love to just stare at the lighted tree at night with all the house lights off.
Trying to stay cheerful.

Yes, I agree Chrystal. Me too:)

Well, Debbie, I think that is quite a bit of decor to call it “simple”! Even though all the little vignettes are made from simple things, I bet you spent a fair amount of time putting them together. They all are very sweet and I love that little owl on your wreath in the window so much I am ordering two of them. One for a friend that loves owls and the other one for “moi”.
Anyway, it was fun to look at all your little decorations and I must say, you are further ahead than I am with Christmas decorating! Although, we did set up my two grandsons’ special little tree yesterday and they decorated it. They and their mom are living with me right now and I wanted to do something special for them. And it was so much fun to watch them hang all the ornaments. Some were pretty wonky and there were a surplus on the bottom branches, but with a little help from Grandma it turned out really cute.
Blessings to you and your family at this Christmas season. I hope it is Merry and Bright!

It’s all beyond beautiful and inventive. You are multi talented and I could not compete.
Now, in my sixties I find I can no longer do the decs as I used to so simpler by necessity rather than design.
You have a beautiful home and different to homes, here across the pond so a thrill for me to see.
I have much on my plate health wise at the moment so your lovely photos are calming. Christmas although my favourite time and our only major festival stressful and bittersweet and I sense we are all like minded.
Thank you Debbie.

Linda from Charlotte
I love your new table. Doesn’t it make you wonder how many wonderful memories were made around that table? It reminds me of my grandmother’s. I love your wreath in the window. It is so delicate. Love all your simplicity.

Thanks Linda. Yes, indeed we always wish we knew all the memories and people that once had possession of our new found treasures.

Love this, Debb. I wanted to PIN but don’t see a button?
debbiedoo's
It’s on top I believe. I have to figure out why the pin it button on images does not work.

I agree that Simplicity has been the direction I prefer nowadays as well and it hasn’t diminished the Wonderful Holiday Atmosphere to do less, but do it well. Loving your Kitchen and the decor elements for the Holidays! I’m kinda Obsessed with that Pulley Chandie you have over the Dining Table! *smiles* Merry Christmas from the Arizona Desert… Dawn… The Bohemian
