New Shelves In My Kitchen All Decked Out For Christmas
Come see how I decorated my new kitchen shelves for Christmas! The farmhouse open shelves are perfect for rustic holiday decor!
I’m excited to be able to share my rustic Christmas decorations with you this year! We had only been in our new-to-house for a couple of months when Christmas rolled around last year and we were in the midst of a total remodel, so I didn’t have time to do much more than decorate a rustic Christmas tree and come up with simple and cute rustic gift wrap for our presents.
I’m doing my best to make up for it this year though. I started holiday decorating in my breakfast area by replacing the gallery wall above my kitchen sideboard with rustic, farmhouse style open shelves and I am in love!
In case this your first time visiting, this is what the same area looked like when it was decorated it for fall.
I loved the gallery wall, but once we started making some other changes in the breakfast area (that I’ll show to you when they’re complete), I realized that this wall needed something different. The open shelves give the wall some much needed dimension and allow me to display some of my favorite farmhouse accessories. Even though the gallery wall went away, I had to keep Mr. Wilbur, so he can keep a close watch over everything. Ha!
The stacked dishes and bowls with black rings along with the mugs on the mug tree all came from the Dollar Tree and were a such an affordable way to add some style to the shelves. I’ve only recently started collecting wooden cutting boards and am on the lookout for a large rectangular one to go behind the circular shaped one.
And remember the 10 Minute Rustic Luxe Christmas Lantern tutorial that I shared with you a few days ago? Well, I stole the pinecones out of it because I knew they’d be perfect on my rustic shelves for Christmas.
A cute little wagon filled with a mini Christmas tree sits alongside my vintagey looking measuring cup.
Some faux greenery fills a thrift store crock.
A few of the white pitchers in my collection. Oh, and how about that farmhouse alarm panel – see it? Ha!
I started with the decorations on the surface of the sideboard by simply laying a frosted faux pine garland across the back. And to remind us all of what a joyous occasion Christmas is, I added wooden letters that are held in place with Command Strips.
A Santa and sweet little deer covered by a glass cloche…
…and a glitter Christmas house with some cutey patootey Christmas trees are nestled in among the garland.
I’m so glad that you stopped by today! I’d love to connect with you over on Instagram and Pinterest!
Now, make sure you check out all of the other inspiration for today and follow along for the rest of the week. Merry Christmas, y’all!
Pin it for later!
Oh GF I love your new shelves! I know this was your original vision for the space and they are perfect! I particularly love the brackets!!!
Thank you, GF! Now you just need to come over and let’s drink a cup of hot cocoa together.
Your new shelving is so beautiful and I love the way you’ve decked them out for the holidays!
Thank you so much, Emily!
I love your new shelving…and those brackets! And love how you decorated it…absolutely perfect! 😉
You’re so sweet, Donnamae – thank you!
Great look! I love the mix of Christmas decora among the kitchen items and all the white is really classy. The new shelves are perfect for that spot.
I am co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty link party this month and would love to have you stop by for a visit. The door opens for the next party at midnight and runs through Monday. http://alaynascreations.co/blog/
Love, love, love your shelves and your beautiful Christmas decor.
Thank you so much, Marty. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Love the shelves and I just love the thoughtful display. So clean and interesting.
Love all the pretty details you have, I could move in right now 😉
Thanks for sharing with us at Two Uses Tuesday!
Hugs,

I love your farmhouse Christmas shelves, Suzy! I’m looking to put up some similar shelving in my kitchen very soon, so consider me inspired! 🙂
Thank you, Laura. So glad I was able to inspire you!
I love the shelves!! will you be sharing how you made them?
So glad you like my shelves! Sadly, I was a bad blogger and didn’t take any photos along the way to put together a how-to post. They were very simple to do though. If you’d like to give them a try and need any help, shoot me an email and I’ll be glad to explain how I did it.
oooh i love these shelves- they look perfect! and on this post the header scrolled away- not sure why the other didn’t.
I love how you added the wreath and the way you displayed your wooden boards the most! Thank you for joining the 12 days of Christmas Blogger Tour Link Party! Merry Christmas!
I have a buffet I need shelves over it just like yours!!!!?! Please tell me where did u get the brackets and how to secure the boards??? Love how it’s a DIY!! 🙂
Hi Carey. So glad you like my shelves! The brackets are made from plumbing parts that I purchased at Lowes. The brackets are secured to the wall with screws, but we made sure to get at least two of the screws into a stud. The boards aren’t secured to anything – they’re just laying on top of the brackets. They’re so heavy that they shouldn’t go anywhere unless someone pulls on them – at least I hope not! 😀 This link will show you everything that I used: http://extremehowto.com/pipe-bracket-shelving/ Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you so much. I would never have guessed how the hardware came together. Wow. I got it saved and shaping my handy Hubby!!! Great tip for the thicker wood – love that too!!!!

Love the shelves, but disappointed. I thought since this post was labeled DIY, it would give me some clue how I could replicate this look in my home.
Hi Kate. I’m sorry to disappoint you! These are diy, but I didn’t include a tutorial on how I made them because there are already so many on other blogs that I didn’t think anyone would want a repetition. Anyway, here’s a link that shows everything that I used to make my shelves. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll be glad to try to help. http://extremehowto.com/pipe-bracket-shelving/
Thank you so much for the link. I honestly hadn’t come across shelving like that before, and didn’t realize there were multiple tutorials out there. Thanks again for your help.
Hello! Would you please share with me where you got the industrial rustic shelves that you decorated for Christmas? Thank you!
Lol… After I posted my comment, I see a gal already asked and you provided link. Thank you!
Just love the things you put together…beautiful shelves and arrangements
Perfect, Suzy! Love the shelving and especially how you brought the two styles together. Your “new” kitchen was the inspiration for the kitchen in my “new to me” house! Wish I had an available wall now 🙂
I love your shelves. Adorable!!
How pretty! Love rustic and glam so this is great for me!
Like your Christmas decor on your shelves. Always fun to get out the greenery.
You just gave me an idea. I have a darling pig’s head on one of my kitchen walls. I’m going to put a little green wreath around his neck for Christmas. I also have a stand-up big (Emil) in the kitchen. He needs to be dressed up for Christmas too!
