Welcome to my French Country Christmas dining room and kitchen.
Last week I showed you My French Country Christmas living room.
Now, I'd like to share my French Country Christmas dining room and kitchen.

Adding a few little holiday touches is all it takes to bring the season into my dining room.
There was enough extra garland left over from the living room mantel
to drape the old farmhouse mantel in the dining room.
Tip: I've since learned you're supposed to soak the garland in water
before using it so it doesn't dry out.

In one corner of the dining room,
I propped an old sled like the one I had as a kid.

This lovely garden statue Ron gave me for Christmas last year looks festive
in his Santa hat and string of red wooden beads.
I love the candle-glow against my white ironstone collection.
These battery-operated twinkly lights from Lowe's
make it easy to highlight certain areas where you can't plug in.
Then just a few special pieces tucked here and there.
The trophy reads The Young Farmers "Best Sheep in Show 1942"
and the shaggy sheep is a sweet complement to the trophy.

Now, on to the French Country Christmas kitchen . . .
Because our galley kitchen is quite small, I keep the holiday decorations simple and sweet.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!
