A year ago, I was just dreaming of and making plans for a coffee bar in our little kitchen. Now, this favorite corner of mine is getting a festive touch. So many of our Christmas traditions include a hot cup coffee or cocoa in hand — whether it is decorating the tree or driving around town to see the lights.
Our coffee bar is fully stocked for the season — coffee, tea and cocoa, flavored syrups, candy canes. Anything you need to make a cup of cheer!
I add a red snowflake platter to corral a few necessary items. The Christmas themed sugar and creamer set were a thrifting find. The sugar bowl is full of raw sugar, while the creamer holds onto tiny ceramic stirring spoons and the milk frother. I would love to find some Christmas-y milk glass mugs to hang from those hooks next year.
I had so much fun adding some vintage elements to the shelf above the coffee cabinet !
The plant in the coffee can {my favorite coffee!} was already sitting on the shelf, but I paired him with a cutie deer plate {Target a couple of years ago} and a vintage Santa mug. I spotted that winky face at a Goodwill last year. He was so cute, and for 50 cents…I just could not pass him up. I was shocked when I saw some similar mugs at antique store last week for $10 and up! I officially call that a thrifting score!
My vintage thermos collection transitions from fall to winter seamlessly. They moseyed on over to the kitchen from my fall mantel and a couple found their way to the coffee bar shelf. A fitting place, I think. 
I, of course, included one of my faux-globes from Christmases past. I can’t resist tiny deer and bottle brush trees!
Our whole house has a very vintage Christmas feel to it, but our kitchen feels very 1960’s lake house. The kind of Christmas decor Betty Draper would approve of. I’ll show you more of the kitchen when I do a whole house tour next week!
Now, the burning question. What is your favorite hot beverage to sip on at Christmas time?
