We found this huge china cabinet at an auction a few years ago for $20. Nobody else wanted it because it was so big. I gave it a complete makeover and now it houses our Christmas Village year round.

    Just wondering.... how do you hide your cords? I have tried everything and I refuse to drill holes in the back of my cabinet just for this! (I have them in my kitchen and swap out seasonal/collections throughout the year. LOVE YOURS!!

    I need to find a longer power strip with a longer cord. Mine looks like poo this year. Normally all my plugs hang down behind the tv stand, but this year it is on a china cabinet, so all the cords are hanging off the side.

    Beautiful! Love that you keep your treasures up year round, I do that with my nut crackers also but they are not as grand a display as yours. Also love the deal you got on the cabinet!!!

      @Denise King Thanks Denise! The cabinet was the steal of the decade for sure. Too big for anyone else to want it. I love nutcrackers too, but I only have a few. There's no reason why we can't display the things that give us joy all year round.
