I realized I haven't shown you around my kitchen with it all dressed up for Christmas! There are alot of pictures so get comfy:) I am starting off at the buffet area, which I LOVE!!! I did it with my gingerbread houses and Kindle figures.  Of course to the right is the TEMPORARY bar area til Joe gets the bar built downstairs! That will be done right after the holidays. Next year I will be able to do this area a litle differently.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs992DWfjgyQH7DfprSSW0FbLMUhvNZvmC6E8AbYucbRnYFKNYskY5lNfFhzVUaSrjCheUHTz6T6fL0zfdYEw8EEzbHGS9fFzag11pzucAdrOoLR29iRPdnqY-T_utS9NW-yEdCYLgYfc/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs992DWfjgyQH7DfprSSW0FbLMUhvNZvmC6E8AbYucbRnYFKNYskY5lNfFhzVUaSrjCheUHTz6T6fL0zfdYEw8EEzbHGS9fFzag11pzucAdrOoLR29iRPdnqY-T_utS9NW-yEdCYLgYfc/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+044.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I placed this little cooking Santa up on a stand to give him some height and importance:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnFAQp6Fdngh-Gp5LorkdDZ2DBSaSmkXq9Dem6hfD96EiROOqySRI5KPky3tZDd9nOWRsXB60bVqpnpd4u7x5yDLpZ_gOLf68XJ-zaqfSjnF30W8sTE68CU8nU4K0fJMJzMM9wJqbf4Ug/s1600/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnFAQp6Fdngh-Gp5LorkdDZ2DBSaSmkXq9Dem6hfD96EiROOqySRI5KPky3tZDd9nOWRsXB60bVqpnpd4u7x5yDLpZ_gOLf68XJ-zaqfSjnF30W8sTE68CU8nU4K0fJMJzMM9wJqbf4Ug/s640/Christmas+House+Tour,+2012+045.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I have a Santa and Mrs. Claus, Byer's Choice figurines here.
