Hello friends! I'm back with my Christmas kitchen! Y'all know how much I love the time period and the set design on "The Waltons," and I added some of the elements from the set to my kitchen over the past few months, which I shared on my fall kitchen video. I added a few more things and went much simpler than I normally do for Christmas. I really wanted to capture that feel of a real farmhouse kitchen before the internet, pinterest and "farmhouse" style:-)
I'm making a traditional Apple Stack Cake as well using my great Aunt Kate's recipe, and mother's dried apples for the filling.
***I customized my recipe based on my aunt's version, but this is a good basic apple stack cake recipe:

Thanks for stopping by friends! I'm back with my Christmas kitchen, and I'm making Apple Stack Cake, a very traditional cake for this season here in Appalachia. I linked a recipe in the description box above. Let me know if you've ever made it and how yours varies.
I found some vintage items on eBay that were like some used on the set of The Waltons, and I love how my kitchen turned out for Christmas🙂
There is also a blog post with photos and more details: www.whisperingpineshomestead.net/2023/12/farmhouse-christmas-kitchen-inspired-by-the-waltons.html
This to me is a home. We didn't have much growing up but I never knew it. My mom always thrifted and acquired things at yard sales and in my opinion we had a prettier home than our "better" off relatives. This really warms my heart.
Oh thank you for sharing that with me:-) I am sure you are right and the home your mom made sounds absolutely perfect:-)
Omgosh. Couldn't love this anymore....everything was beautiful, and the music..made me cry, it was so beautiful....thank you for sharing
Wow, thank you so very much for the kind words!
I love all the little nostalgic touches, and oh, that sweet black kitty (kitties) lounging around in the warmth of their home on a snowy day, with the smell of apple stack cake and candles flickering! Such a warm and comforting scene! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
Thank you so much:-)
I have the currier and Ives' dishes too, I've been collecting them for a little while. Every time I use them at dinner with friends, someone always comments that their grandparents or parents had them too. I like to think that it brings them good memories and makes them feel at home.
Oh I love them - any Currier and Ives winter prints, calendars, etc., I just love:-)
What a delightful celebration of the blessings of Christmas! I especially loved the collection of candy dishes and the fruit grouping. It reminded me of Christmases long gone by. Thank you for posting this beautiful and inspiring video. What could be more fitting than a salute to the Waltons, coupled with your own lovely heritage!
Thank you so much!! My grandfather owned a country store, and the candy was kind of a nod to that☺️☺️
Your kitchen makes me feel warm and cozy, happy and safe. Thank you for inviting us in for a while.
Merry Christmas! ⭐️
I appreciate that so much, thank you, and Merry Christmas ☺️☺️☺️
The nature footage in the beginning looks like a painting. What a blessing to be surrounded by such incredible beauty. YOur kitchen just speaks of home. It is so cozy and warm. The fabric is beautiful on the sink and window. And of course, the apple layer cake under the dome on that gorgeous green glass cake plate.... wow. My spouse who has been gone 22 years now, use to drive long hard hours as a truck driver, He would get home in the middle of the night, He said knowing there was something sweet under the dome in the kitchen counter waiting for him was such a blessing. He would have a glass of milk and a slice of something sweet... and sleep like a baby. Merry Christmas Anita.
Oh thank you so much for sharing that very special memory with me❤️❤️❤️ Merry Christmas to you❤️☺️☺️
What a lovely memory.
Love the kitchen, great job matching Waltons.
Thanks so much!!
So beautiful Anita! I can’t get enough of the lovely Appalachia mountains and your so very welcoming home. The guitar music was a perfect accompaniment and I wondered if that was your husband’s contribution? My favorite Christmas video this season. Merry Christmas dear one!
Thank you so much Carolyn! Luis is only playing one small clip on an Appalachian instrument called a cittern, at the 5:25 mark:-) He is so busy it's hard to get anything recorded, but we are going to try!
What a joy to see you bake with a simple hand mixer, and to watch you cut the dough with your hands rather than a dough cutter. All those fancy appliances are so expensive, and take some of the joy out of cooking and baking in my opinion. Your kitchen looks beautiful!
Thank you very much - I really appreciate that comment:-)
My favorite Christmas kitchen you’ve ever done, just beautiful.
Thank you so much!! I’ve enjoyed this one most as well☺️☺️
Anita, I loved your opening. It really reminded me of the hills of West Virginia where I grew up. Your kitchen is amazing, I'm sure everyone who visits feels welcome. Have a very blessed and Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much, Sandy, I'm so glad to hear that as I imagine things are very similar there:-) Merry Christmas to you as well!!
Must smell so good while it's baking,love the pyrex bowls 👍🎄🎀
Definitely smells wonderful:-) Yes, I love Pyrex and have a few different colors that I use all the time:-)
LOVE❤
Thank you ❤️❤️
I've always loved your kitchen but the simple elegance of your Christmas decor is stunning. Thank you, Anita for sharing.
Thank you so much- I appreciate that☺️☺️☺️
Western NC mtns here...just found your channel! Your kitchen is lovely and a wonderful tribute to "Walton" style. It is my style as well...I call it Appalachian nostalgia. Amazing how many of the same items, transferware, etc. Thanks for sharing. Blessed Christmas!!!!
Thank you so much:-) I love that -Appalachian nostalgia:-) Merry Christmas to you:-)
So lovely
Thank you!!
Beautiful! Love the music too! I always loved the Waltons and think it’s so cool how you’ve been able to pull in similar decor in your home. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thanks so much Cynthia!! Merry Christmas to you as well:-)
Wow, what a cake!! Looks delicious! Loved the way you did your house this year with the 1930s in mind and The Walton kitchen. As always looks very cozy and inviting! Merry Christmas to you and your family Anita! Thanks for sharing as I look forward every year to seeing your awesome Christmas ideas!
Thank you so very much Linda - I appreciate that! Merry Christmas to you and yours❤️☺️☺️
You have such a beautiful serene channel. I too live in the Appalachian mountains. There’s no better place. 😊 I remember my mother making this stack cake from apples she had dried. I have a lot of wonderful memories growing up.
I really appreciate that so much Karen, thank you! Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories☺️☺️☺️
So beautiful!
Thank you so much:-)
Anita your kitchen is so very ALLURING.
Thank you so much Barbara:-)
beautiful home
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
The cake sounds delicious. And your kitchen looks amazing. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful home.
I appreciate that!! Thanks so much! 😊
This was such a beautiful video.
When I was in my late thirties (now 70) we were living in Virginia and I begged my husband to take me to see the real Walton house in Schuyjer. It looked very much like the one on the show except, to my disappointment it was surrounded by a chain link fence to keep some sense of privacy. Your kitchen is my dream kitchen,
Thank you so much!! Yes, I’ve watched several video tours of the actual house, and it definitely had a more traditional floor plan and smaller rooms☺️ It also seemed strange for it to be on the side of the road that way too. Someone there in Schuyler actually combined the exterior and interior sets to create a bed and breakfast very much like the actual set. I think it’s called Olivia’s B&B🤔
What a lovely room and video ❤ I especially love your sweet kitty sleeping on the braided rug 💞
And the apple stack cake looks and sounds delicious!
Thank you so much!! Yes, he is a little sweetie:-)
This is absolutely beautiful way better than a new kitchen 😊
I appreciate that, thank you☺️☺️☺️
This is wonderful! 🌲
Thank you Cindy! 😊
@@WhisperingPinesHomestead you’re most welcome. ❤️🌲
I love your videos the coziest of the home,
Thank you so much!!
Was a joy to watch as always❤
Thank you Penny:-)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! GOLLY GEE That looks delish! STTB
It is Barbara:-)
💖💖💖💖💖
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
🤗🤗🤗❤
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well!!
I enjoy your videos so much!! My husband loves apple stack cake…unfortunately I cannot replicate his grandmother’s cake, gosh I’ve tried. Your kitchen is so pretty sweet friend!
Thank you so much!! It was a shot in the dark as my mother doesn’t make it, and aunt Kate has been gone for years, but it turned out really good, I think☺️☺️☺️
So very beautiful. I loved looking around your kitchen. I never was taught how to use a serger but I should learn. Love the material you chose. Merry Christmas to you and your Family ~ Janet 😘
Thanks so much Janet☺️☺️☺️ Threading is the hardest part of using a server 😂😂 so you definitely should get one and try☺️☺️
And Merry Christmas to you☺️☺️
😍Es hermosa tu casa y estilo felicidades
¡Muchas gracias Erika! ☺️☺️

Saglikli huzurlu gunler olsun
İnsallah
Thank you so very much for sharing that☺️☺️☺️
Love your cozy home. I got the oil lamps out Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you so much!! Ah yes, we’re having a planned power outage today so I’ll be using mine as well☺️😉
Does the door in your kitchen lead to a pantry? LOVED this video and it's exciting to see that we share the same Currier and Ives dinnerware, Pilot Knb coffee can (mine is sans handle) and I have one small dripware syrup pitcher. Oh, and our black kitty Marty...ha-ha. Merry Christmas!😊
Yes Michele, it goes to a pantry/mudroom/laundry. My husband has been planning for a while to build some shelving in there for me, but we haven't gotten to it. It's a nightmare really:-) Love that we have the same things too!!
first time viewer, love your kitchen, the hand towel rack is just like what my grandmother had, where did you get it? it's the one where you can hang more than one towel or dish cloth up to dry, and Grandma hung it on the side of her cabinet by the sink like you did....would love to have one for my kitchen.
Welcome!! And thank you so much!! I bought that on eBay for about $2 I think. My grandmother had one as well, and I was so glad to find another one:-)
Love your video
.especially the oil lamps on kitchen table. What kind of oil do you use in those lamps? 😊
Thank you so much!!! 😊 I've been using Florasense clear lamp oil from Walmart for years, but they've been out of stock for the last two. I'm finishing up what I'd stored and just bought Lamplight Farms clear lamp oil, so I'll be trying it next. Hopefully it's as good as people say!!
Thankyou. They look so clear..I will try something similar...❤
I’ve heard of this cake but have never tried it. And I do have a plethora of dried apples so maybe it’s time. Anita do you have a P.O. Box to receive cards, I can’t locate one, thank you. Beautiful video❤️
Thank you so much☺️☺️☺️ Definitely try the one I linked in the description. I did add ginger to the dough, though. I don’t have a box that’s public, but maybe I should look into that☺️☺️
@@WhisperingPinesHomestead yes that would be nice for those that would like to send something.
