Come take a tour of my traditional kitchen styled with neutral Christmas decor! I used a mix of food and greenery to give the kitchen a simple holiday feel.

It’s my first time ever decorating my new kitchen! Last year, I was without a working kitchen and was forced to microwave Christmas dinner for 10 people. But this year I’m able to cook. so it might as well look pretty, right?

I kept with the color scheme that I used in my Christmas living room and dining room this year. The kitchen is already primarily brown and white, so I mostly added greenery wherever I could.

I strongly believe that kitchen decor should fit within a kitchen so I was very selective about what I brought in to use. I really wanted it to feel like it “fit” the space!

Starting on the window wall, I changed up the dish cabinet just a bit to reflect the holiday season.

Using my own frames and just printing new art is such an easy way to change the feel of the cabinet! And I added a bowl of ornaments just for something different.

I really debated what to do with the window, but in the end, decided on a simple evergreen garland with a center bow.

This antique gold pot was on my Christmas list many years ago from Home Depot if you can believe! I added three small live white poinsettias to it with some moss. I’m sad to report that I can’t find this exact planter anywhere now!

Next to the sink, I added some ribbon and dried lime slices to my regular soap dispensers. I simply tied the ribbon around the bottle and then used a glue gun to glue the dried lime slices to the knot in the ribbon.

Here you can get a look at my back counter. I traded out my art on this wall for a Christmas image as well. This was was from the public domain so I downloaded and printed it for free.

Even the cremone bolts on my bi-fold cabinets got into the holiday spirit with some faux green, small ornaments and bells, and holiday ribbon.

Taking a peek at the stove area, you can see that I added small faux topiaries to each side of the counter with just a couple of ornaments.

I added this green swag from HomeGoods on my painted hood using a Command hook. My friends think I’m crazy to attach something here and they might be right. Fingers crossed when it’s time to remove it!

On my pot rail I added a small basket along with some greenery, which I DO NOT recommend leaving there when cooking!

This little basket is one of my favorites and I styled it with a spare branch from my window garland along with some copper Christmas cookie cutters.

I added some ribbon and greenery above this pot, hanging down along the handle.

Even my counter stools got a bit of flair with some simple ribbon and a small green wreath.

I kept the island counter clear with the exception of this one vignette. I had fun photographing it so prepare for pictures…

I used an antique bread board as a base and then added another faux topiary along with some food and small houses.

I even sprinkled in a few dried lime slices because a kitchen seems like the perfect place for them, right?

So that’s my Christmas kitchen tour for this year! It was fun to decorate but I will admit I was a bit stressed about it since it’s new and the ideas seemed endless.
