More Christmas in the Kitchen

Thanks for all the great comments on the videos and for not laughing! Y’all are great sports. I really don’t enjoy seeing myself on camera all that much, but I guess my accent isn’t too bad. I know there are a lot worse right here in Ala-bammer!
I’ve had this little tree for a long time that I put on the cupboard in my kitchen, but I was a little bored with the angel motif on the outside of the tin that it sits in. It was cute, but not all that appealing with my colors in there, so I decided to break out the Mod Podge again. Got some pretty striped Christmas paper at Hobby Lobby (of course!) with bright and cheery colors.

Made myself a template and cut out four pieces, one for each side of the metal tin.

Mod Podged that baby and now it blends better with my reds and greens in the kitchen.

Last year I had all green ornaments, but they really got lost on the green tree, so red to the rescue. I’m loving how the tin turned out and it really shows up now. These pics were taken with my camera settings a little bit different, so they are a bit more glowy and yellowy than normal, but I like the effect for Christmas.

Mr. Nutcracker joins the parade, along with my glass pedestal and cloche with some tiny ice skaters underneath.

I just threw the rest of these green balls in a glass dish for now.

Here’s a regular shot of the kitchen tree.

I really love it this year! I got those mitten ornaments last year on clearance from Pike Nursery, who went out of business right after Christmas.

Love those sparkly greens.

And a cute little bunny ornament looks out from the top of the tree.
Hope you enjoyed more Holiday cheer from my kitchen. I can’t wait to get around and see everyone else’s Christmas decor this year.

    I am thinking of all kinds of things I could cover with scrapbook paper…your tree looks great, I love the whole display! I had heard that pike went out of business…I loved that place when we lived in Atlanta.

    Oh, Rhoda, I have had to come over and get caught up. I love the new look of that tin. I also loved your videos. You are as cute as a button and the accent is not nearly as bad as the ones here in Central Ms.

    I love your idea of covering a pot with decorative paper and making it match your decor better. What a great idea! I’d of never thought to do that. Your color scheme in your kitchen is the same as mine, so I’m really drawn to it. You did a great job on it.

    I love the new look you gave to your vase—how great that is with your cheerful tree! Of course, I LOVED the bunny topper the BEST, but all of your other ornies are great! Dana
