Home for the Holidays Kitchen



The kitchen is the heart of our home    it's where everyone gathers during the holidays.    It's normally the first room that I decorate for each holiday and this year is no exception.      


The kitchen is pretty large so I decorate it in sections.      I've shared one section earlier and I will give you a link at the end of this post if you haven't seen that part of the kitchen yet.    


I have been picking up ugly ceramic houses at yard sales to use in my kitchen Christmas theme this year......Home for the Holidays.


This is the second house that I gave a makeover......


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


And lastly,  the third house that I gave a Christmas makeover.


I got in a hurry and didn't take a before photo of my church,   but the lady I bought it from actually had two of them and I took both of them.


I showcased each one of my houses by placing them on a milk glass cake plates.    


I added some pink touches to the existing ceramic Christmas tree.


One of the Santa heads that I found at a yard sale over the summer.     


I will decorate the other kitchen counters in a similar look.      If you follow my posts,   you know I have quite a few more houses to give a makeover....lol!


I found some plaid Christmas fabric at Hobby Lobby the other day and am "living with it" a few days to see if I want to make a table runner out of part of  the fabric.


Here is a peek at the other area of the kitchen that I have decorated for Christmas and a link to that post if you want to see more......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2016/11/home-for-holidays.html


H is healing nicely from his surgery last week.....will get the stitches out next Wed.,   This week and next week he will have PT.    I'm still playing nurse and "gopher" ....lol!

  16. What an amazing collection of fixer-upper ceramic houses for Christmas. I would have never thought of buying houses at garage sales to make over.
