I have to say, this is always my favorite time of the year in our kitchen. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love our kitchen all year long, but I absolutely love decorating our open shelves for Christmas. It’s really something I look forward too, and find myself a bit sad when it’s time to take it all down. I love spending some time focusing on all the little details, and then how magical they feel once I’m done and they are all festively decorated.
Today, I’m sharing the first glimpses into our kitchen decorated for Christmas ~

I have to be honest. I’m not always ready to decorate for Christmas, but somehow starting with my open shelves in our kitchen gets me in the mood every year. It’s simple, little touches, and that nostalgic feel that gets me in the holiday mood.
I love adding clippings of fresh greens, to cascade ever so softly over the shelves. This year I added these sparkly glittered faux picks I got from Balsam Hill a couple year ago. I’ve used them in our Christmas tree before, but I loved the added sparkle they gave to my kitchen shelves.
The bottle brush trees, and bulb ornaments are among my favorite, but it doesn’t quite feel complete until the greens are added. I love the fresh cedar branches, but I also love to incorporate some eucalyptus and bay leaf branches as well. To me it adds a delicate touch, and is probably my winter green go-to.

While my main pieces pretty much stay in the same place, the added Christmas decor changes ever so slightly year after year. For the last few years, I’ve stuck with this neutral Christmas look, but next year I’m thinking of changing things up!

I love decorating bookcases and shelves and creating vignettes on them. I love the mixing bowl with ornaments. Very nice.
Ohh Thank you so much Myrna! I don’t know why but it’s very relaxing for me, perhaps because I’m just focused on this one area, and I can pay attention to all the small details, but I do love it 😉
So charming, Bre!
I so look forward to seeing these shelves every season. You always do such a spectacular job. Shelves can be challenging to decorate, but you make it look effortless. So beautiful, friend! Merry Christmas!!
