In the kitchen and really everywhere...I like for things to be a little more on the Whimsical side....I love color at Christmas and almost a child-like decor. I want to mention that the flash always washes out the paint color...it is not this light. Oh, do you remember seeing that red and gold planter...I had it sitting in the foyer...well...it found a new spot, I like it much better in the kitchen, and I found a pretty Santa to sit on the table in the foyer...I will show you that foyer table again later.
This tassel hangs on my bookcase that holds the cookbooks.
This tassels did hang here in the Kitchen window, but the craft project I told you about, has replaced the tassel...you will see it at the end of the post.
I found these whimsical green stockings at Cracker Barrel the other night and they were already marked 40% off....I grabbed 2 of them. They hang in 2 other windows in the kitchen.
This is a picture takin standing in the breakfast nook...looking into the Great Room. Y'all see my banister with NO Christmas decor... well, that is driving me nuts, I have always put garland on it, but I said I wasn't going to do it this year, I don't know though, I have a feeling I will do it anyway!!!! I don't feel like my house is finished with out the garland up. Moving on.... I know you want to see the kitchen, right?
The huge snowman was a Christmas gift several years ago, from my hubby.
Finally a picture that shows the true color of the paint!!!! :)
Words "I" live by....lol My hubby bought this for me, he really knows me!!!!
That's right, I am praying for snow this year :)
That wraps up the kitchen tour..... Hope y'all enjoyed it.Now, about that little craft project.....I saw this posted on Robin's Blog....Robins Nest. It looked so easy and I knew I had the materials to make it. The one that Robin had on her blog was made with fabric, I think, however I used ribbon instead of material.
A wreath and ribbon or material of your choice.
It really looks so much prettier and brighter in person! The Santa Tassel was moved to a different spot and the wreath went up! I love the whimsical look it adds to the kitchen.Moving on.....this tree sits in the boys bathroom window....again the pictures just don't do it justice!
Another picture in the boys bathroom.
I sure do hope you all have enjoyed the Christmas Kitchen Tour and I hope you find a little inspiration for your own home. I still have 3 more Christmas Trees to show y'all....the Sun Room, Master Bathroom and The Fishing Room. I was going to add them into this post, but I think I will just do one more Christmas Decor post. I should have it ready for you on Monday.

Beautiful Nancy. I love your kitchen - always have. Your big Christmas tree is gorgeous. And I love the tree with the chocolate brown on it. You are so good!!
Nancy, it is all so BEAUTIFUL! Those chocolate brown ornaments and ribbon are LOVELY on the tree!!! Your kitchen is so pretty and fun! I am planning on going to Cracker Barrel this weekend to do some shopping.....hopefully, I don't spend my money on just myself...lol
Nancy,
What a beautiful post to wake up to. I love whimsey at Christmas time too. What a sweetie your husband is to bring you the huge Santa that sits on your island. Really big pieces make such an impact. Your attention to detail is evident throughout you home.
Did you get any snow yet? I heard on the news that they were getting some in Mississippi and Louisianna. Joni at Cote de Texas said they even had a few flakes in Houston! Hope your prayers were answered and you got some in Tenn.
Love your music!
Hugs,
Sue

Hi Nancy,
Don't worry, I did enjoy the tour. Very much! Everything is just beautifully done. I love the wreath idea. It turned out great. Your kitchen is lovely.
Merry Christmas.
UNBELIEVABLE...every room is detailed and beautiful...even the BATHROOM gets attention for Christmas! I feel like such a total slacker. I have a post ready to show my Christmas stuff...I'm not sure I can bring myself to hit the "publish" button after seeing this!!!!!
Oh my! What an enjoyable tour. I loved everything! I really loved the wreath project...so fun and whimsical and a great way to use up all those ribbons scraps. It reminds me of how my mom used to curl my hair when I was a little girl. :-)
Everything looks very pretty and tastefully done.
I love the blackboard idea with
"Let it Snow" What a clever idea!
Hi, I love the ribbon wreath idea. Great kitchen. My mom loves the tassel. thanks mishelle

Oh my goodness I am in LOVE with your home. Can I please be a Southern Gal here in Chicagoland?
Your home is so beautiful! I especially LOVE the green elf stocking, the scraps of fabric wreath and the beautifully framed chalkboard. They are my faves (and it's highly likely I will try to copy....)
I'm a first time visitor to your blog. I love all of your Christmas decor, and your kitchen is beautiful! I noticed you had commented on Kady's post (Life on Bonnie Lane). Her son has posted an update asking for b'day wishes for his mother, and since nobody had left a message yet, I was just trying to contact some of her readers. laurie

Hey Nancy;
Girl, I was just wondering about you this morning. I actually came over to your blog early this morning to make sure I hadn't missed a post. I knew you had not posted lately and I was concerned that maybe you were sick or something. Glad to know you have just been busy :)
Hi Nancy, I love your kitchen and all of your holiday decor. You really do have the Christmas spirit! I am missing it this year. My tree is not even up yet.
I love your boys bath tree, too. The ribbon holder idea is so clever. I may just have to clean up my bins of ribbon by using this idea. Thanks for sharing.

Oh Nancy, it looks like you are all ready for Christmas! Your home is beautiful, especially for the holidays! I LOVE your darling couch! Wow!
