Decorating for the holidays is a multi-day endeavor, even with Kev and the kids pitching in, so it’ll probably be the end of the week before it’s actually all done. I do have to grade papers too. 
But I finished one section and I like how it came out, so I thought I’d post pics — the coffee / tea station is now also a hot chocolate bar. (The sipping chocolate is the best.)
The cabinet is a built-in that we added when we were originally renovating the house (we bought a foreclosure and did a gut renovation on it); one of the best choices we made. Great use of the space, and we use it constantly. (The countertop is maple on the woodworker’s recommendation, because it’s more water-resistant than the rest of the wood we were using.)
