Festive #BIGHoliday Kitchen Reveal!

This post was sponsored by Big Lots in celebration of its #BIGHoliday campaign for National Decorate Your Home for the Holidays Week.

It’s here! The National Decorate Your Home for the Holidays Week begins today, November 16. I’m so excited. Why? Because I get to share my #BIGHoliday Kitchen Reveal!

My kitchen is pretty small. It can feel claustrophobic if anyone is in the room with me when I cook so I went with a very minimalist approach. I went with earth tones and added pops of color.

Decorating put me in such a festive mood! I even cooked up a holiday favorite,  a lighter version of the original Puerto Rican Arroz con Leche. It was sabroso/scrumptious! My youngest loved the treat and how I served it… on a very festive gold serving tray!

In the picture above,  you’ll see two glass mugs. I fell in love with these Chalk it Up glass mugs. They can be used in so many different ways. You can serve festive holiday drinks and add a candy cane to give it a festive touch. You can also use them to serve deserts, like ice cream or pudding, like I did above. Or, like below, you can plant herbs!

Fresh herbs can make such a difference when cooking and these containers were the perfect size for my kitchen. FYI: A set of 4 mugs cost $10. I purchased three because I absolutely loved them!

I found a beautiful red and white towel set, with matching microfiber reversible drying mat, that gave the room a pop of color. I also added an anti-fatigue floor mat in brown. I was so excited to see that Big Lots carried anti-fatigue mats.  It’s like heaven for your feet. I totally feel like I am gelling it with this mat. Btw, my neighbor paid more than $100 for hers. I’m happy to say mine only cost $14!

The candle centerpiece I showcased in my previous post really brightens up the room. I purchased two sets of the 3 Pk Flameless LED Candles – one in white and the other in a a mauve and sparkly gold. They are beautiful! I also love that they are remote controlled. In the photo below, you can see the lit candles. They fit the minimalist decor and look so chic.
