How to Style a Primitive Hutch or Pie Safe for Christmas
Bring Christmas warmth to an old hutch or pie safe with treasured crocks, woven baskets, worn dough bowls, and a few holiday favorites from Creating Country Decor.
- Start with your everyday treasures. Arrange old crocks and baskets across the shelves, mixing tall pieces with shorter ones. Leave some wood showing so the cupboard’s character shines through.
- Create a simple Christmas focal point. Set a small tree in a sturdy crock and hang our Antiqued Belsnickel Santa Ornaments from its branches. Keep the decorations light so each Santa stands out.
- Fill a favorite dough bowl. Gather our Cinnamon-Dipped Salt Dough Stars in a shallow wooden bowl with a few evergreen sprigs. Place it on a folded burgundy-and-cream homespun cloth for a soft seasonal layer.
- Add a little handmade character. Set our Blackened Beeswax Santa beside the bowl or on a stack of old books. Tuck our Red Pip & Herb Spray into a stoneware jug for height and a touch of Christmas red.
- Finish with baskets and a gentle glow. Place a woven basket beside the cupboard with folded homespun and greenery. Add a battery candle, leaving space around it.
CCD styling tip: Repeat warm wood, aged cream, muted red, and evergreen throughout the display. Let your old pieces lead, with Christmas tucked gently among them.
Salt dough stars are decorative only—not edible.
