I think it is just appropriate for this “kitchen of the week” post to be about kitchens decorated for Christmas.  The first three images belong to Jill Sharp Brinson’s home, Ballard Design’s creative director.   It was featured in the November issue of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyle.  The house was styled with the help of Suzanne Kasler and the result was quite amazing.   Do you see why I declared that my next kitchen needs to have a row of windows above the counter top?… Above is why. This is probably the only kitchen with brushes, sponges and cleaning artifacts displayed that look this good. Do they sell that stuff at Ballard?

Many people, like myself, prefer to set small buffets around the house for guests to help themselves.  This would be a lovely serving station.
