Give the hardest-working space in your home a big serving of holiday cheer.

Sleighing It. Courtney Affrunti (@goldenboysandme) utilizes her existing pot rack holder to display a vintage wooden sleigh with a cheery crate, a colorful plaid thermos, and wrapped boxes at the top. She fills in any space with mini trees, and it all works perfectly with the wreaths in her windows.

The holidays often find us spending more time than usual in our kitchens. Baking, cooking and sharing tasks as we gather with friends and family and, of course, the cleaning up all seem to be on "high burner." Why not make it as enjoyable as possible by sprinkling a bit of festive décor in your space? We've scooped up a few of our favorite decked-out kitchens and hope you're inspired to make your own perfect coziness "recipe."

Very Vintage.
