The Holiday Hutch 2013

 This Santa print was the inspiration for the 2013 Holiday Hutch.

I put it front and center where normally a large platter would go.

 And then built the "hutchscape" around it!

Branches from the Christmas tree lot fill the shelves and those little Christmas trees on either side of the Santa print?
They're going to be part of my Christmas Day table!

A few of my favorite Santas are on display on the bottom shelf.

 Behind closed doors, I layered Johnson Brothers' Old Britain Castles Christmas plates in front of red majolica chargers. 

 My collection of bee hives keep the plates from falling forward and add another touch of white and green.

 I had my granddaughters in mind when creating this year's hutch.
I wanted it to be fun and playful and very festive.

  12. Delores,

    Your blog has become my favorite of all! I wish I had even an ounce of your talent and creativity!

    I have sooo many built-ins with open shelving, glass fronts shelving and I just don't even know where to begin!

    I look forward to your posts! Your home is beyond lovely. I love it's warmth and coziness.

    I too never noticed the opening at the bottom of your Welsh cabinet. : ) I always adore your transfer ware, hutch styling and tablescapes.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, inspiration and talents with us all!
