White Christmas Kitchen

Christmas in our Kitchen

In White, Silver and a Touch of Red

~ A little vignette next to the stove ~

The sliding doors allow so much natural light

{even on a wet gray day like today}

The winter vignette on the counter

On the wall, my ice skate print

embellished with glitter and a jewel

And a touch of red and snowlady whimsy

next to the window over the sink

~ A candles glow to warm the spirit ~

Thanks for stopping by as I share this room

as part of my Christmas Home Tour!

This morning I am wishing it looked as clean

as it does in these photos...  my island is covered

with newspapers and things I pulled out of my purse,

the dining room table is filled with gifts

waiting to be wrapped,

you know of course how it goes!

Last night we went to a Christmas party

in a spacious gorgeous magnificent home,

and when I walked in our door afterwards, suddenly our house looked,

well, rather small and dull and not as good as I left it!

My conversation with my husband this morning:

"We need to change the paint color on some walls!"

"We've got to do something with our boring entry way!"

"I've got to get some art on the walls!"

and

"See, I don't have too much Christmas decor!"

te-heeee!

{He doesn't really think it's too much, he tells me often how much he likes it!}

Have a blessed week, full of Christmas wonder!

I realize all of this is very trivial after the tragic event that took place

in the Connecticut school on Friday.  It is very much on my heart,

as well as prayers for all who are suffering from the tragedy.
