Christmas Kitchen and Breakfast Nook 2012

This is the view when walking by the drink station...looking into the Kitchen.


More PINK Santa's that were formally red...
And YES , I painted this plate! The lettering was done in red...red didn't/ wasn't what I was going after in this room....


Every year I look for somewhere different to display my vintage ornaments....this year, it is the kitchen.





What a score on the PINK marsh mellows!!!
I just KNEW this pink sugar would come in handy one day!




Well if I was painting the Santa's pink, I thought, why not glitter them as well?


Here's the nook. The roping of round ornaments was on clearance at Target last year....you know the sale.....90% off, now that's what I'm talking about~except they were all red and gold. So you guessed it, more spray paint!


The white candy canes were from the year before last , as were the pink ornaments, formally known as RED ornaments...nothing a little paint and glitter can't fix!

These I made. Why? Because I went to Michael's four times to buy them, I couldn't make myself....I TRIED! So I bought some molding clay, and did it myself....

99% of everything on this tree was spray painted, and glittered.



I don't know what year this photo was taken, but I LOVE it, it is of my mom and her two sisters, Connie and Martha. They are waiting for Santa to come down the chimney!


NOTE: The empty jars, on either side of the gingerbread men....I bought pastel candy from the Dollar General Store. It was meant as DISPLAY. DISPLAY I tell you again!!! It all looked SO cute. Then one day , I notice, the jars seem to losing candy. Well, it wasn't me, one son, has a home of his own, our daughter lives in another town, and the youngest, is away at college. So, if it wasn't any of us....it's got to be the ole hubby! Caught him red handed! I told him, it was for looks, and he replies with, " well that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, if you've got candy out in plain sight, it's for eating!"OMG!!!!! I don 't know what ticks me off more: him eating the display or him  not gaining one fricking pound from all that candy!!!!

 I thought our five year old grandson, Jackson would be the one I had to worry about! Jackson's been trained though by me. Every time the poor child wants a cookie, or piece of candy, etc, I've told him, it's fake. So now if he sees something, he asks me , whether it's real or fake.Good huh? Poor child thinks everything in our kitchen is fake....well at least between Gramps and him, he learned not to eat Marmy's decorations!!!

 







And finally in the kitchen, over the chalk board, is some more candy. I fashioned the over sized "candy" from card board, toilet paper thingies.....

Does your husband eat the "displays", in the kitchen? Come back for the Dining Room pics tomorrow~

Pin It!
