Christmas tour part II {Kitchen Edition} and Giveaway winner!

Well guys....

I can hardly believe that Christmas is coming so fast.

I feel like I JUST put up my holiday decor....

Is it weird that I am already getting sad that it has to come down so soon?

Ahhh butttt at least parts of it get to stay around...

Like I mentioned before I am all about WINTER decor vs. Christmas because lets face it----winter in Wisconsin lasts FOREVER! And so I might as well enjoy decorations for it!

Anyways on with my Christmas tour---{click here if you missed the living room!}.

It is NOT perfect, it is not spotless.... there is no particular "theme" or decor style....but it is home and I love it!

I LOVE advent calendars and I honestly think I have about 4 of them up this year.... I especially love the one on my island!

It just makes me happy!

Yes ohhh yes this little guy will be staying out past Christmas.... he just makes me so happy!

Talk about a mod podge right?!

Buttttt I don't care.

He is another keeper----just too cute for words right?!?!

And here is the view from the kitchen to the front door.

And just in case you were wondering the door with the white wreath----that is the door that leads to my little heaven----my craft room!

How spoiled am I to have a craft room right on the first floor?!?!

Anyways, I know my stockings aren't the most stylish or cute...but I LOVE them. They are the stockings that I grew up with. They hold such great memories and meaning to me that they are absolutely part of my decor regardless of their "style"!

Andddd finally the last little detail of my tour----my most favorite and treasured piece of decor for the holiday----yessssssss I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little plaque.

Because lets face it I am a dorky dental nerd!

And on another dorky side note:

{I also have an obscene amount of Herbies around my house also

(from Rudolph)

because as you know all he wanted to be was a dentist}

I am LOVD said...: Loving all the snowmen! How'd you get that wording on your bench? Would love to do something similar but if it's a decal or vinyl, I know my son would take it off as he slides off the bench to get up.; December 19, 2011 at 5:51 AM
Ruth said...: Jaime~I think your kitchen looks fabulous. I love all your special touches. So cute. BTW, I have a phobia of dentists but I won't hold it against you. I had a bad experience as a kid and have been known to pass out at the sight of pulled teeth, including my own kid's teeth.

Jen @Sadie Inspired said...: Jaime - I LOVE your kitchen! I love all the white, the cutie snowmen of course, the glass on the cabinet above the computer, and the little touches of blue. LOVE. It looks so cozy and a perfect place to grab a cup of coffee to chit chat with a friend. :); December 19, 2011 at 4:35 PM
Jennifer @ Delightfully Noted said...: Jaime, your kitchen is so beautiful! Thanks for showing us a tour. I love the advent calendar on the island, and the little personalized wall cafe, and the bench.....and well, I just simply love it all!; December 20, 2011 at 10:57 AM
