A Christmas Kitchen Island

Hey my friends!
I hope everyone is staying warm this Christmas season.

I wanted to share with you my kitchen island decorated for Christmas.
The decor is simple, once again, with light touches of red.

I used plain jars with white lids for staples such as pasta, beans, and oats.
These were old spaghetti sauce jars that I cleaned and recycled :)

Just adding a touch of ribbon gives them a festive glow.

This is a view from the top.
I hung an old white curtain rod to serve as a pot hanger above the island.

Using twine, I also added old kitchen utensils with wooden red handles
to tie in the Christmas red.

This ricer is one of those special heirlooms from my Aunt Sue :)

The pot hanger helps to complete an otherwise empty space.

This is my coffee tray adorned with
a grouping of cinnamon sticks for the holidays.

Do you recycle items for storage or decorating?

I sure do appreciate you all stopping by to see my Christmas decor!

I wanted to say thanks for all the sweet comments on our new mantel!

I am enjoying all of the Christmas ideas from blogland...
and I'll have more to come soon.
