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? 
I know this is a dining room but it could make a pretty amazing kitchen. 
What spectacular windows, no?
I know this big Christmas tree in this kitchen may be a bit over board but it's also beautiful. 
Many people, like myself, prefer to set small buffets around the house for guests to help themselves.  This would be a lovely serving station.  
Two undecorated wreath hanging from the windows is just too pretty. 
Any simple detail, such as hanging garlands and ornaments off your kitchen window could bring the spirit of Christmas in.
