Home for the Holidays Christmas Kitchen


I had put my ugly house  makeovers on the back burner until after Thanksgiving and  I finally had a chance to work on them today.


This group of houses just got what I call a mini makeover.  

 Most of the other ones that I've shared with you were entirely sprayed with white paint and then I added pink and green trims.


You can see the houses with a full makeover on the counter on the right side of the photo......and the mini makeover houses are on the counter to the left of the sink.


One of the reasons I didn't want to spray these houses is that they have lights and moving parts.

   I was really pleased with the makeover on this "city sidewalk".......I think it has a ginger bread house look!


The horse and carriage move around in a circle and all the shops & trees have lights .

The next house I gave a mini makeover had a fountain  (that doesn't work)   and lots of pretty lights.    It also plays Christmas music.


I filled the fountain in with "snow"......

This house was only a dollar at a yard sale,   so I didn't mind that the clock didn't work.    I could have bought a new clock at HL but I didn't really need another clock


Before...................................................After

See how pretty the houses look with their lights on .......and the kitchen is filled with Christmas music.


I still have a couple more area's in the kitchen that I plan to add some Christmas touches to and will soon be sharing a Home for the Holidays Christmas Kitchen tour.

  1. Those makeovers are really cute, Penny. You did a great job dolling them all up. Love the ones that look like 'gingerbread' houses...and the one with the fountain is really different and cute, too. Happy Monday- xo Diana

  5. So sweet... I love the blue lights in the house... I am so far behind with mission projects and helping DH with outside decorations...but I will not stress... just going with the flow and what gets done will be done. Fortunately I have crocheted through the year and put things away along with books the grands will be delighted with. I always enjoy seeing what you do next. Thank you.
