Off to the Christmas Breakfast Area ...

Eek ... I'm running out of time to share our Christmas home ... so, again, my apologies that I'm bombarding you with more!

Welcome to our Christmas breakfast area, which sits right off of the kitchen ... of course, it was only right to continue the whimsical theme over here, as well.


A little closer look:


I decided to keep the tablescape pretty simple ... both the red chargers and the cream plates are part of the BH&G line from Wal-Mart (purchased last year):  And, the *ca-ute* gingerbread guys and gals are from Cracker Barrel.  They're actually utensil holders; however, I opted to use them as napkin rings, instead:


I snagged the pretty wine glasses last year at Pier One:


For the centerpiece, I *scrunched* up a table cloth and layered a white cake stand (from PB) on top, along with a glass hurricane, which I surrounded with greenery, gingerbread cuties and red ornaments.  I love the little houses I found a few years ago (from Big Lots):


Aren't they fun?  Of course, the batteries went out on this one *right* before I snapped the pic:


I love seeing the glow of the Christmas tree through the glass:


Up above, I added some whimsy to the chandie by adding garland, mesh, ornaments and snowflakes.  I then decided to hang a few ornaments from glittery red ribbon:


 
Here's the temporary home to our mirrored table (which usually sits where the tree is) ... just a simple vignette on top:


 
A little red candle nestled in faux snow glows in a lantern from Home Goods:
 
 
On the other side is our dry bar ...
 

I spy sweet treats!

 
Jax loves "his" new gingerbread house (Cracker Barrel), especially because it lights up:
 

Our Candy Santa stands guard ...


along with our Baker Santa.  The candy trees are from Big Lots!

 
Thank goodness these treats are NOT fo' realz!
 

 
In the background is our chalkboard made out of inexpensive poster board (Dollar Tree) and my heavily relied on chalk markers!
 
 
Annnnd, of course, I had to carry a bit of the red up above to our white pieces:
 

I'll save a seat for you, so come on over!


Before you go, I thought I'd share the face of a boy who is beyond excited that school is OUT, and Santa is on his way!  Wooo Hoooo!

 
I'm off to finish shopping ... wish me luck!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  8. Oh my gosh, Becca, you've outdone yourself in both the breakfast area & the kitchen! Everything is just too "stinkin" cute! Everything is finished here (except for the "Grands' table for Christmas Eve), but I'm madly "pinning" like crazy for next year....lol! I can definitely see that I need to pay a visit to Cracker Barrel's. Your little boy is precious, and you can definitely see the excitement oozing from every pore!

  15. Look how big he is!!!! What a sweet picture and just pure excitement on his face! My eyes went immediately to the chandy! I love it with all its bling, but I must say... the dry bar is my favorite! I love the Santas and the gingerbread house. Isn't Cracker Barrel the best for seasonal stuff. We always go right after Christmas and buy up all the cute stuff left over when it goes on sale! Your house is the best!!!

  16. Hi Becca, I love your kitchen!! The light looks beautiful! Love the light up gingerbread house too...might have to check that out at Cracker Barrel tomorrow. Maybe it's on sale! Miss Janice bought some cute gingerbread stuff there too. I still can't believe Christmas is in 3 days! I've still got quite a bit of shopping to do to. I hope you finished up yours!
