A Vintage Style Red and White Christmas Kitchen + Free Printables!

December 1, 2014 by Shannon Acheson 14 Comments

Many of you visited our Christmas Home Tour last week so you know that we’re happily going with lots of traditional reds for our holiday decor again this year.

Even for the Christmas touches in our white kitchen, I wanted to keep everything clean and vintage-looking. But I didn’t have a lot of “kitchen-y” decor in red, so I did a little online shopping at World Market.*

Red Stripe Kitchen Tea Towel | Glass Drying Rack | Red Stripe Napkin | Red Melamine Batter Bowl | Joy Marquee Lights | Red and White Striped Rug | Mini Chalkboard Easel | Paper Pulp Fold Art Santas

I adore classics like striped towels and linen napkins.

A mini chalkboard easel doesn’t hurt either.

And the second I saw this red batter bowl – I was smitten!

And these Santas – adorable!

Ooh and I’ve been wishing for a glass drying rack for months!

I sort of like shopping! And Christmas!

* P.S. Some of you have asked how I – being in Canada – got World Market items here. I know some friends near the border drive across and still others get things shipped to family and friends who live in the U.S. who then ship to them. But here’s my secret to ordering things from U.S. companies that don’t ship to Canada: I have a U.S. mailing address with myus.com. Basically I fill out my U.S. address and then ship it from there to here. It does cost money to ship to me, but I try to take advantage of free shipping within the U.S. at online retailers (so free from retailer to U.S. address then I pay from U.S. address to my house). Then I’m only paying for shipping once. There also may be taxes and customs added at the border. So, long story short, I only use the service when I REALLY want something but it’s handy-dandy to have!

My aha moment was when you talked about undertones!

I found my style and was able to bring our small space together by creating a cozy and inviting home for our family of 8! My aha moment was when you talked about undertones! At first I was confused about what the undertone of my room really was. But after carefully analyzing the details I figured it out! That was the moment when I could bring everything together.

I’m falling in love with our home all over again.

My ah-ha moment was when I realized how much time and money we have spent in the past couple of years because I was going about things all the wrong way. I have painted rooms, changed decor and bought things over and over again and just could not get comfortable. I loved the house but it didn't feel like home. We did not focus on our true design style and never finished a room. It caused us to purchase things we didn't love. BUT now because of your course, we have found our style, re-focused on our whole home design plan and are decorating one room at a time. It is really exciting and I am falling in love with our home all over again."

Lightbulb moment!

Your explanation of paint colors was the light bulb moment for me! Your explanation would have saved us from painting a room twice along with saving money for the painter's extra visit. I am enjoying your teaching. Thanks!

Love this idea!

Orbs are such a great decor item to add to a space. Staining the hoops really gives them a vintage feel. Thanks for the inspiration
