Christmas In My Farmhouse Breakfast Nook
Create your own cozy breakfast nook on Christmas day! I will show you how with my own fun holiday decor.
True confession – this is the first time that I can remember knowing how I wanted to decorate for Christmas well ahead of time. I’m usually trying to figure things out at the last minute, which is how I wound up going in a totally unintended direction last Christmas. Loved it, but never intended to decorate like I did. 😀 I stumbled across some amazing Christmas inspired plaid dishes on clearance at At Home last summer and I knew that they would be the holiday inspiration for most of my house this year. So, welcome to my plaid Christmas breakfast nook!
My rustic open shelves are usually the first thing in my house that gets changed up for the different seasons and holidays. My new plaid dishes, combined with my KISS method of decorating made them come together in a flash! Don’t know what my KISS method is? You can read all about HERE.
I already had the red berry topiary, Mr. Snowman and the sled, but the “A Very Merry Christmas” tree came from Kirkland’s this year.
I added a new fun Christmas piggy to the shelves from my favorite shopping place in Wilmington, NC – New River Pottery. The red lantern is from Michael’s.
I literally stumbled across these Christmas plaid mugs in Hobby Lobby one day . It was amazing the way that they made a beeline for my cart!
I already had the little red lantern and the small lamp with the boxwood wreath lives here 24/7. It provides a cozy spot of light at night. The cute candy cane crock came from Kirkland’s and the candy canes themselves came from Target.
I kept things much simpler on the opposite side of the breakfast area, by adding just a few holiday throw pillows to the bench. By the way, the art above the bench is a printable that made and put into an old frame that I painted. You can get a copy of the printable for free HERE. It’s available in both this large size and printer paper size.
There’s nothing cheerier than red and white buffalo check! These pillows came from HomeGoods, the hot chocolate pillow came from At Home and the plaid boxes in the basket are photograph boxes from Hobby Lobby. They make great boxes for gift giving – they’re already wrapped and they’re very inexpensive!
I kept the kitchen table simple too. A red striped grainsack runner is topped with a centerpiece consisting of a white pitcher with faux greenery and a cute little Christmas topiary, that I picked up at Target a couple of years ago, displayed on more plaid dishes.
I finished the whole area off with Christmas wreaths hanging from happy red and white striped ribbon in the bay windows.
Our Christmas breakfast area feels so cozy and inviting this year! We find ourselves spending longer than normal at the table, making Christmas memories with family and friends.
Merry almost Christmas, everyone! If you need some Christmas inspiration for your kitchen or breakfast nook, pin it for later!
Sharing at THESE great parties.
Everything looks great. I especially love those wreaths in the windows.
Where did you get that pig that is on the wall?
Hi Cheryl. You can order one just like mine at this link: http://shop.pallensmith.com/garden/pig-head-wall-mount/
Thank you so much! I’m going to bookmark that website, they have so anythings that I love.
Love the plaid plates against the wicker basket. Adds the right pop!
I love all the plaid! I like the wreaths at the windows!!…I want to do that now! Where did you get them and about what size are they? It all looks so cozy!!
Hi Kim. The larger wreath in the middle is 24″ in diameter and I picked it up at Michael’s. The smaller wreaths are from Amazon. They’re actually 12″ candle rings. Here’s the link if you’d like to order the same thing: http://fave.co/2gUMxL0
Thanks for the info! Happy Holidays to you Suzy!
I love the way you’ve decorated. No wonder your family is lingering longer at the table. I especially like the wreaths that you’ve hung in your windows.
Oh my gosh Suzy, your breakfast nook looks so beyond beautiful. I love the colors and all the rustic touches. Wow…
LOVE… Budget is tight this year, so hoping to incorporate some of yours and Yvonne’s decor ideas next year. 🙂 I’ll use what I have this year! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
You are such an inspiration. Beautiful as ever. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing with us at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party this week. I love this style!
Pottery Barn must be very jealous of you. This looks like a spread in a magazine, absolutely stunning!
High Suzy, sorry y for being so late, things have been crazy. LOVE your kitchen, the plaid dishes are gorgeous and nothing says Christmas like plaid. I have a similar piggy in our kitchen. Beautiful job all around. Loving the lanterns and the pillows.

I love how cozy this room looks! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the gingham Christmas tree! it reminds me of when I was a girl. And I’m 78!
I love your style and talent. I have fallen in love with the candy cane crock and I am unable to find it at Kirklands ?. Did you purchase it this year on line or was it an in store purchase.
Hi Dorrie. I purchased it in my local Kirkland’s store several weeks ago. They had them in red and in green. I’m sorry you can’t find one!
I love the printable you shared! I can’t wait to get it printed and hung in my kitchen. It is just what I have been looking for.
Your Breakfast Nook is my all time FAVORITE! decor. Red & White & Black for me! The plaid dishes are to die for as well. It is just is 100% Christmas to me, which happens to be my favorite holiday! You’ve outdone yourself! Merry Christmas t you & your family.
I just love how warm and welcoming your home is! Thank you for sharing it!!
Beautiful! Especially love the plates in the old tool box. Thank you for sharing!
I love this happy space!
Simply stunning, Suzy! I’m sure you’ll make many special memories around that table this Christmas! (We have a buffet very similar to yours and I love those two shelves above it! I cannot wait to show my husband 😉 Thanks for sharing, sweet lady! xo
I absolutely love the dining room. Simple but elegant. Which is just the way a formal dining room should be. The breakfast room was cute, but I must admit, I didn’t like the pigs…especially the one hanging on the wall!
