How great to have 2 open shelves to decorate. Everything is so cute. I also decorate w/gingerbread in my kitchen. I live in a 1910 farmhouse on 80 acres in WI. One whole side of my house is for eating. I have a bay window in my kitchen eating area. I have gingerbread & candy pillows there. In that area I have a Hoosier cabinet, 1930's stove, 1935 Frigidaire & a porcelain table. Next I have a real fireplace and have a seating area. Next comes my proper kitchen w/cabinets & appliances. Then next is my FDR. I decorate it all as one theme, gingerbread. Great Job!
Hi Estelle! It's delightful to hear from a fellow Wisconsinite! Your home sounds so cozy and lovely. How fun to have vintage appliances and a fireplace too! I bet your farmhouse has some amazing woodwork! I love a bay window. I can just picture the gingerbread on it. You really go all out with the gingerbread decor - even in your dining room. So neat! Your home sounds lovely! We are on about 11 acres. I'd love to disclose where I am, but since the comments are public for safety reasons I can't. Thanks for watching and leaving such a sweet comment! Have a lovely week! 🎄💕😊
Hi Rachel I was able to watch your cute kitchen decorating for Christmas last night and I wanted to come here today to say how much I enjoyed it. It all came out so so cute. Need to go watch your coffee treat bar vid. Love how you had those open shelves now to decorate. Hope you’re having a great Christmas season. I’m still decorating over here. It feels like it just snuck up on me this year. 🎄💕🎄 God bless Rachel and I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend
Hi Christian! I appreciate your kind comment! I will hop over soon. I miss seeing you and your sweet mother. I hope you both have a wonderful holder season! 💕 😊🎄
Hi Nancy! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I couldn't agree more about gingerbread. It's so cute! Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. Have a blessed day! 💕🎄😊
Hi Rachel! Your gingerbread kitchen is so festive! 🏠 Such a smart idea to add lights to the peppermint trees. The wreaths look beautiful. The trees that look like frosting are so cute! Yes, the truck works! It looks like part of the scene. I love how you filled your mixing bowl. Adorable! ❤️🏠🎄😊
Hi Rachel! Your kitchen is so cute. I love all the gingerbread men and decor. It is always so fun watching you decorate. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Have a great week. XO ❤️
I really enjoyed watching you decorate your gingerbread kitchen! I decorate a full size tree in my kitchen with sweet treat and gingerbread ornaments. It makes the space nice and cozy! Thanks for sharing! Barbara in Kent Ohio 🎄🎄🎄
Hi Barbara! Thanks for watching and commenting! Ohhh a full sized gingerbread tree sounds wonderful!! 😊 I am sure it's gorgeous. Too bad youtube doesn't allow picture comments. I'd love to see a photo. I wish I had the room for one. I've thought of squeezing one in next to my patio door behind the table. It would have to be super skinny. Thanks for watching and stopping to introduce yourself. Have a lovely evening! 💕🎄😊
I’ve been watching dear friend, but I haven’t been able to catch up on my comments until now. I love your kitchen video. It’s always one of my favorites and of course you did not disappoint. Your gingerbread collection is so incredible. I love everything you have done! Beautiful as always!!! ❤💚
I love, love, love your gingerbread kitchen. Everything looks so pretty. I don't think cracker barrel is closing. The one where I live stays really busy. I love going there. I collect the salt & pepper shakers plus the food is pretty good too. I would love to see the over the mug cookies. Have a wonderful weekend ❤🎄❤️🎅❤️
Hi sweet Darlene! I hope you are doing well! I happened to drive past my Cracker Barrel last Saturday and it looked like it was still open, so I was glad to see that. I always thought it stayed pretty busy too- so I can't imagine them closing. But you know how the internet spreads rumors I suppose. Thank you for watching and leaving an encouraging comment! I always appreciate it so much! I hope you have a wonderful week, sweet friend! God bless! 😊💕🎄
Good morning Rachel! The coffee/hot cocoa bar looks so pretty! The little candle ring You have in the tray under the Rae Dunn candle is so pretty! I love anything with berries, especially pip berries, but that ring is just unique! The tray turned out so pretty! Love the wreaths on the chairs.❤ I love how the shelves turned out, they're beautiful! And with the bar below it really looks like a big, beautiful gingerbread village! Oh the gingerbread kitty is precious!🐱 Don't think I've ever seen one like that before! I've heard Cracker Barrel will be closing some locations due to performance or sales.. pretty much why any business closes. But they're really not closing allot of stores.. as of right now. The mixing bowl looks so sweet!😊 Ohh goodness.. the village above the cabinets is really beautiful!!❤ I don't think the gingerbread theme will go out either, i think it'll stay around!😉 I think it all looks really beautiful Rachel! I enjoyed watching! Thanks for sharing & I pray you have a blessed weekend!🙏🏻
Hi Tammy! Thanks again for the long and thoughtful comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing my gingerbread decor. I'm glad to hear that Cracker Barrel is not entirely closing. I drove by the one closest to me last Saturday, and the light was still on the sign out front, so it must still be open. I do love my little gingerbread kitty, too. I think I'll name her "Ginger" 😁 since that REALLY was the name of my kitty when I still lived at him with my parents. My mom called her Ginnie, but either one would be perfect. Oh my, look at me. So crazy of me to name my fake kitty. Lol. I hope you have a wonderful week Tammy! God bless you sweet friend! 😊💕🎄🐈🐈⬛️
Your kitchen is just adorable!!!! I love all your gingerbread!!! I’m sure it took you some time to collect all of it. Love your new shelves too. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Hi Carol! Thank you for the kind comment! I do love to collect gingerbread decor. I'm loving my new shelves too- thank you! I hope you enjoy the upcoming season with family and friends! Happy Thanksgiving and an early Merry Christmas to you! God bless! 😊🎄💕
Hi Rachel! Your Christmas kitchen makes me think of how Mrs. Claus' kitchen would look. So adorable!! As for cracker barrel, they were bought by the people who own apple bees.😔 Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas🎄
Hi Sharron! Thank you for the sweet comment and for watching! I hope you are doing well and haven't had any more passing out episodes. Have a great weekend, sweet friend! ❤😊🎄
WOW!!! This is my favorite video I've seen yet!! Everything is so stinkin' cute!! I love traditional colors for decorating for Christmas. That's what you did and I love it. I'll be subscribing now.
Hi there! What a sweet comment! Thank you so much for the encouragement! I appreciate it so much, and thank you for subscribing! Yes! I love the traditional colors of Christmas. 🎄 Have a lovely evening! 💕😊🧑🎄
Hi Carol! Funny, you should say that. I'm so self-conscious of the fact that I'm probably the only person on youtube that hasn't painted mine. 🙃 My husband absolutely opposes it. Mine are getting really worn though in areas. So I'm not sure what I'll do with them. It's always great to hear from others who decorate with and appreciate gingerbread decor. Thanks for stopping to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Have a lovely evening! 😊🎄💕
@@heart_towards_home you could always try cleaning them with a wood oil. A lot of times they're just dry. If not just have them restained! But honestly, they look great to me! We are building a new house, and I picked out good old wood cabinets! Love your back splash too!
@carolc1961 Thanks for the suggestions. The main trouble is with the ones near the sink. If you look closely, there's a lot of water damage on those. This past summer, I tried to sand it out, but it didn't work. My pastor builds cabinets, though, so I may ask him how much he might charge to redo 2 doors and 3 drawers. I just hate to bother him because he's so busy. How fun to build a new house. 😊 I've never had the nerve to do that because it would probably stress me out too much. Have a great week! 💕😊
@ this is our first and last time building because it will be our forever home! Your Pastor would probably love to do it because I’m sure it helps him relax from everything else!
Hi sweet friend, I hope you are doing well. I do know how some days and every day life can sometimes get overwhelming, at least for it does for me. Rachel I didn't get to commit on the hot cocoa/coffee bar the other day. Sometimes my phone just won't let me, it turned out absolutely darling. Your entire kitchen is so cute with all the 🫚 houses, kitties, people and trees. You have a beautiful collection. I love your kitchen anyway. I like the layout. You did a remarkable job. It would be so much fun cooking and baking in your kitchen. It's just darling, I love it! ❤️ Rachel I was heartbroken to hear about your kitty. It so very hard when something like that happens. I was so sad for your son. Thank you for todays video, I needed it. Until next time sweetie please take care and God Bless you and your family! 🍬🏚🎄✨️🐈⬛🕊❤️
Hi sweet Daphne! I love hearing from you. Yes, my son was pretty sad about his kitty, and I was too. We have had a few kitties die on the road near our house. The mostly black or gray kitties seem to do the worst. I think the cars just don't see them. My phone has been acting weird like that too sometimes. Even my youtube sometimes freezes lately. Sometimes it helps to restart the phone and sometimes not. I think they want us upgrading every year but I can't afford that. Yes! Life can get so overwhelming, and the older I get, time seems faster and faster. My big sister just turned 50! Can you believe it?! That makes me feel so old. I'm 45- but 50 is right around the corner, and my body tells me. I wake up feeling like a creaky old person😜 And come spring, my stepdaughter is having a baby, so in a sense, I'll be a grandma. Yikes! Anyway, I hope you are doing well, my friend! Thank you for reaching out and saying "hello." Have a blessed weekend! 💕🎄😊
Your kitchen is beautiful! With or without the decor😍 My eye was especially drawn to the red gingerbread barn on top of the cabinets- can I ask where that was from? Thanks!
Hi there! Thanks for watching and commenting! That barn was a purchase from ebay a couple years ago. So sorry that I cant link it for you. I love it too. Have a lovely evening! 😊🎄💕
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I think this is the first video in a while that I haven't provided a link simply because I've been so disappointed in this batch. They usually stay lit longer, but this time not so much. Here is a link for you. These are the ones in the video (warm white) but I'm going to be trying a different ballon light next time, and hopefully, those will stay lit longer. The first ones I bought worked much better, so I guess you never know. Anyway, I hope this link helps. Have a lovely day! Balloon Lights amzn.to/40s51qU
How pretty! Love your thrifted gingerbread man! Where did you find the gingerbread cutting board? I never have much luck at At Home, but sure would like the find the lamp post. I used to make the candycane cookies but have forgotten all about them! Need to pull that recipe out. Thanks for your ideas
I found the gingerbread cutting board last year from TJ Maxx. I saw them again last Saturday when I stopped by there. Of course, Homegoods, Marshall's and Burlington are all connected to TJ Maxx so you could check any of them. Walmart had something similar last year too and I may have seen them again this year but I can't say for certain. I hope that helps. Betty Crocker candy cane cookies seem to work the best for me. Other recipes tend to get to big in the oven and out of shape. But yes- I make them every year. 😊🎄🎄🎄
Hi there! I appreciate the sweet comment! I'm guessing you mean the two that are on my open shelves above my coffee bar. Those were from TJ Maxx this year. I hope you can find some if you're looking.

Hi there! Thanks for watching and commenting! The red gingerbread mixing bowl was from Homegoods. You can also find them at TJ Maxx and also Marshall and possibly Burlington as those stores are all connected. I will say that (from what I understand) you can't actually use those with the mixer. But I do think it looks nice together. I hope that helps. Have a lovely evening 💕🎄😊
Hi Rachel! I have a question, when you use balloon lights do you use warm colored lights? I bought some but they were bright white and blinded me. Also, do they tend to go out quickly for you? Btw love the gingerbread :)
Hi Susanne! Yes! I use the warm ones. And I will tell you that the recent ones I have purchased are going out so much faster than the ones I first bought. I even had some defective ones right out of the package this round. I think I'm going to look into a different brand. Thanks for watching and commenting, sweet friend! 💕🎄😊
Rachel! Girl... Shame on you. LOL. Don't you talk like that!!! Cracker Barrel isn't closing! I would be SO sad. They are definitely not closing though. :) They have a current sweepstakes right now where they have partnered with Hallmark! I am super excited about it!!! Your kitchen looks so cute!!!! I can't keep treats in my kitchen because they are gone so fast!!! My son will even eat the marshmallows! LOL
Love the gingerbread houses🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤So beautiful🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Beautiful! Where did the little brown with white design two Christmas trees come from?
Hi there! I appreciate the sweet comment! I'm guessing you mean the two that are on my open shelves above my coffee bar. Those were from TJ Maxx this year. I hope you can find some if you're looking.

Hi there! Thanks for watching and commenting! The red gingerbread mixing bowl was from Homegoods.

Hi Rachel! I have a question, when you use balloon lights do you use warm colored lights? I bought some but they were bright white and blinded me. Also, do they tend to go out quickly for you? Btw love the gingerbread :)
Hi Susanne! Yes! I use the warm ones. And I will tell you that the recent ones I have purchased are going out so much faster than the ones I first bought. I even had some defective ones right out of the package this round. I think I'm going to look into a different brand. Thanks for watching and commenting, sweet friend! 💕🎄😊
Rachel! Girl... Shame on you. LOL. Don't you talk like that!!! Cracker Barrel isn't closing! I would be SO sad. They are definitely not closing though. :) They have a current sweepstakes right now where they have partnered with Hallmark! I am super excited about it!!! Your kitchen looks so cute!!!! I can't keep treats in my kitchen because they are gone so fast!!! My son will even eat the marshmallows! LOL
Haha. You are funny! That's good to hear T! Have a lovely evening! 💕🎄😊
