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.

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.

    Everything looks so festive!! Especially Wilbur! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get all of the tiny little wreaths from? And do you know where I can dind some that are a good size to have on my kitchen cabinet doors? Most I’ve seen are too big for that.
    Thanks so much!!! Loving everything you do!

  4. So super beautiful! I’m inspired with the shelves….wanting to do some like this in my sons room.

  5. Everything looks wonderful but I especially like the little deer under the cloche and the pinecones in the little silver buckets.

    1. Hi Celeste. I found them at a local home decor shop called Total Bliss.

    I hope you are still here as I see all your comments are from 2015 and 2016, I love the multiethnic layer cup holder. Is it available in stores?

    1. Hi Mary. Yes, I’m still here! 😀 The cup holder came from World Market and as far as I know they still have them.

  8. Hi Suzy!! I might be late….it’s 2018!!! Ha!
    Does the adorable lamp have a story you would tell me?? I love the whole new after shelving and stylin’!!!

    1. LOL Lyn! The lamp is just a small one that I picked up at Target. The mini boxwood wreath stays there all the time. It’s held in place with a piece of ribbon that is wrapped around it and hot glued just under the rim on the backside of the shade. 😀
