If I could buy just one Christmas magazine every year, it would be this one, Flea Market Décor. It is always packed full of the vintage Christmas decorations I love, and I get so much inspiration from this issue each year that I was excited to find this one at Publix over the weekend!
This year, a trend I began noticing a few years ago appears to be returning: decorating the kitchen for Christmas. Have you ever decorated your kitchen for the holidays? Other than packing my cabinets full of Santa mugs, I haven't, but I hope to remedy that this year. This issue has ideas for decorating a pastel kitchen …
As well as a more colorful one like this one where the home's Santa mugs and Fiesta wares are prominently on display.
And for those who prefer an all-white décor, they show how a monochromatic curio cabinet can still look subtly festive!
Also: I started collecting these mini nativities a few years ago, and this magazine gave me a great idea for how to display them. So are you thinking about Christmas yet? Any decorating plans you can share?
In my previous house, I had lots of kitchen counter space, and I had a little (10-12 inch tall) tree that I decorated with mini cooking tools. But in this house, my kitchen is a part of one big great room, and there's not a good spot for that tree. I do hang a fabric garland over the sink, put a small wooden Nativity scene on the windowsill, and of course, hang a Christmas tea towel over the stove handle. I enjoy Christmas decorations anywhere I can find to put them! I need to look for this magazine.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an entertaining magazine. I've never heard of decorating one's kitchen for Christmas, but it sounds like fun! My kitchen is tiny (since I live in what is called a studio apartment), but maybe I can come up with some Christmas ideas for it.
