I might have gotten carried away with my decorating and gift wrapped my kitchen cabinets...Don't forget, my house is 45 years old so I don't have the fancy-schmancy granite counter tops of today, but this works for me...LOL

This is the opposite end of the cabinets....

This little ice skater in my breakfast nook is about 2' tall and he reminds me of Bing Crosby with his pipe...heehee
**
*
This barefoot Santa is one of my favorites...look at his poor red, swollen tootsies after making all of those deliveries...I picked him up for $3 at a church sale...
**
*
Have you ever seen a bicycle Santa before? This one is 2' tall and his bike has a real chain that turns the wheels. He is sitting on the kitchen pass through to the family room....
**
*
This little cookstove plays 25 Christmas songs...the little bear on the oven door pulls it open and there are chocolate, cinnamon or mint discs that give off a scent when it is turned on...the bear stirring the pot turns around & around...
**
*
And lastly, a couple of Christmas trays behind my ceramic cooktop...yeah, I know most everyone prefers gas, but I wanted a cooler kitchen & replaced the cooktop & wall oven with electric...

Thanks so much for coming by...I wished I had made some cookies & hot chocolate for you in the pot I won from Susan @ BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH but I was too busy wrapping cabinets...LOL

Good morning Bo--I love this post! Your cabinets look so pretty and your Santas are just plain fun--I've never seen either of them before. Your house looks so cozy and ready for Christmas.
What a great way to start my day! Looking at all your santas, how neat! My favorite is the bicycle santa, and no I have never seen one before! Your home looks sooo pretty all done up for the holidays Bo~
Buffie :)
What a novel idea, BO!! I love it!! That barefoot santa is my favorite!!
Hi, Bo! I love the way you think! I think that's the most creative way to decorate your cabinets! And barefoot Santa looks like me after shopping all day yesterday! I feel like Santa after hours of fun in the stores!
Love your post!
XO,
Sheila
Look at you! Looks like you are all finished. I don't see boxes anywhere.
Your Santas are so cute. Those gift wrapped cabinets are adorable. What a great idea. I bet that took some time on a ladder...or in a chair. :)
Such unique Santas...
Does this finish up the decorating?
May your week be filled with Blessings.
Good Morning Bo... So glad your computer problems are over... tee hee I love all your Santa’s and especially the one on the bicycle...so darn cute... I love your kitchen too... it looks very homey to me... the cabinets look great... That is something I would do too... Have a great day!

Woo hooo...I love your santas...they are always my favorite part of decorating. I have a post up and ready for little shots of MY santas, too...
Glad you got the computer problems fixed...and now you aren't in misery anymore!! tee hee.....
love, bj
GM Girlfriend, well this is a first for me, I have never seen cabinets decorated like that before. I love that. And being a Santa collector, you know I love each and every one of those. I have a very small house too, Bo. Only at Christmas time do I miss my last house. We had a 10' tree in the front room and the window went to the floor, you could see the entire tree form the outside. But, I'm back in the real world now. :)
Love Ya,
Chris
I am so impressed with your holiday decor in your kitchen -- it is charming, warm, inviting and very appealing. It inspires me to work on my own kitchen for the holidays.
Morning girl....what a great idea..I would have never thought of that! I love the Christmas decorations and that barefoot Santa was adorable..but girl..I am eyeballing that tin he was sitting on...I LOVED THAT!!!!! lol lol How sweet is that little stove!!! What a great post girl...hope you have a great day to go with it!
You are so creative! Who would have ever thought to wrap your cabinets? Looks so cute. I also love your snowman, santas..well, all of it!

Hi Bo..I love your idea for the cabinets! How creative! You have a nice collection of unusual Santas, too. But my favorite is the stove that plays Christmas music and scents the air! I've never seen anything like it! Love it!...Debbie
Good morning Bo, your cabinets look grand. I can't even imagine doing that but what a fun idea. Your Santas are so cute. Beverly will be envious. She has a huge collection.
Your items are fun and a bargain to boot. Your Santa needs a pair of comfy boot!!!
You are in the drawing. Good luck.
Hugs...Jeanne

Something we see everyday, cabinets
and now, here they are, all dressed up, sporting their Winter finery. I certainly think it is a fun idea!
A unique way to express your joyous personality...
I LIKE it! :)
Hi Bo, Your cabinets look so cute! I love that idea. My mother-in-law used to wrap her pictures on the wall, That's another cute idea. I just remembered that. Hmmmm.... I might have to do that! Kristen

Hey Bo...you have some wonderfully unique items for Christmas...that little stove is so cool...I've never seen anything like that before. I think your idea for wrapping your cabinets is so clever. Are those Christmas cards in the center? If so that's a very fun way to display them!
Bo! ;0 How did you think of this? It's so creative and beautifully done.
LOVE IT!
Your Santa's toes are too cute! ~Melissa :)
What a wonderful way to display treasured Christmas cards!
It looks fantastic! You are the queen.
And, you know I love your Santas. Maybe all our Santas can hang out together and be friends.
Hi Bo!
I'm glad your computer problems are being worked on --I know how frustrating that can be as it happened to me once, too. I ended up buying a laptop as the old clunker was so slow. Now, two years later my lap top is getting slow...duh! I'm good about deleting my cookies and temp files but hese machines seem to get old fast --lol.
I love how your kitchen looks --so pretty! That cook stove is adorable and the sore foot Santa is too funny!
Hugs, Pat
Bo, close up of who's house. Mine or my daughters? You are so sweet and I could just give you a huge hug girlfriend. Thanks, for stopping by and I am on my way home now to get some wreaths made for the neighbors and clients.
Happy Day to you Bo.
Blossom
Hi Bo..thanks for stopping in today. I love your Santas, especially the swollen foot one...I can relate!
I LOVE IT!!! What a wonderful idea to wrap the kitchen cabinets that way!! You have such delightful decorations and I oohed and aahed over it all:-) That little cookstove is absolutely precious. I'm in love with your breakfast nook...with that wallpaper it would feel like you're in Paris!! hehe xoxo
Hi Bo,
I LOVE how you have wrapped your cabinets....so festive! Also, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Santas...especially the bicycle Santa...that one is GREAT!!
How clever you are wrapping your cupboards. They look great. Sally
Cute! I love seeing everyones decorations. Thanks for sharing with blogland.
Hi Bo! Your cabinets are so cute and festive! Love all your snowmen and Santas! Looks like you have done a lot of fabulous decorating! Want to come on to my house now??? :) Sure could use your help! ~Rhonda :)
Hi Bo! I'm so glad to know and see you're up and running again! I love your kitchen cabinets. What a cute thing to do! Love all you Santies too!!Oh, I'm so behind on my decorating!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Cute, Cute, Cute!!! I love the wrapped cabinets. And all of your darling santas. Your blog looks wonderful!!! Everything says, "Merry Christmas".
Love it!!! Terrie
Well hey, sweet Bo! What a clever idea (w/ the cabinets!) I'm in love w/ the barefoot Santa, but I'd have to put a little black on his heels so he can be a Tarheel! :O) Ok, enough of the bad jokes. That woodstove is too cool! I've never seen anything like that, and trust me, I've seen a lot of Christmas items. That bicycle is cool too! I bet your 45 yr old house has more character than any of our new ones! LOL!
Tar
Hi Bo - Good for you! You are full of Christmas spirit. Your cupboards are a work of pure genius. I have a very old house and it lacks many contemporary ammenities but we are very comfortable in it. Your bicycle Santa is so cute. My favorite is the cookstove. It is so clever and so are you!
Hugs,
Sweetie
Bo your cabinets look so cute and festive! I loooove that barefoot santa! He is sooo cute!!! Nancy
Bo your wrapped cabinets are great. I may have to borrow this idea next season.. I love the snowman on the table. He does remind a person of Bing Crosby with his pipe. The Santa with the tootsies in the air is adorable. I'm loving the Santa on a bicycle.. Girl you sure have some "great" things... thanks for swinging in..it means the world..
hugs ~lynne~
You're so cute, wrapping your cabinets! You certainly are in the spirit. I'm not even having a tree this year. We just moved and unpacked all the holiday decorations and neatly put them away in the garage cabinet. No way am I pulling all of it out again!
Hi Bo! I love your Christmas blog! It is so awesome. I also like the idea of wrapping your cabinets. That is really using your noggin! : )
~Liz~
Hi Bo, sorry I haven't been by, I have been gone most of the day. My sister and I took a seven hour round trip drive to pick up some venison. lol. I am so tired but the trip was worth the lovely meat. It will last a few months.
You are in the drawing today and I wish you good luck.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Do you feel the pressure changing in TX??? With all those kind things said about me, my head is swelling! If you get the chance, drop by sometime, and e-mail me with your address. I want to send my "Blogging Mom" a little something for Christmas - if I can ever get the Halloween stuff put away!!! XOXOXO!
Hi Bo, glad you enjoyed my little Christmas tree video. Surprising Ellie is my favorite part too! I'm just so thankful she can still enjoy the holidays with us at age 83!
Good evening BO thanks for coming by for Kitchen part 2...girl I am so tired and we still have 3 weeks yet to go..I'll be the next thing laying under the tree..thanks again dear friend...hugs and smiles Gloria

Granite schmanite!! Your kitchen has the charm and warmth of yester year!! You lucky bugger you! And that Santy with his red toes is adorable!! I've never seen another like him! You must smile every time you see him...I know I would! And that darling little stove with aroma disks.....Where did you find it?!! It's wonderful too! Vanna
Hi Bo, Am stopping by the blogs for Tablescape Tuesday to enjoy them..with no blog, I just like to look and smile. I love all your Christmas decor, especially the Santa with the bare feet! Your home looks so warm and inviting, and the wrapped cupboards are a great idea! Thanks for sharing, Jan (jjlmnaz)
You know what Bo? I love the old fashioned scalloped cabinets. They are charming and I like what you did with the ribbon. Really cute.
