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

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.
