Hello Everyone. Hope you are enjoying this most festive time of the year.
I have been learning a lot since we really downsized to this tiny cottage home this year.
I fell in love with this house the minute I walk through the doors. I could see me transforming this tiny space into my style and cozy for us to find peace and comfort here.
With that said I still had a tiny part of me that was hesitant that I could live this small and be happy with less stuff and less space. Well that worry is gone.
I am embracing this living small and loving it. I love that this house is less maintenance at this point in life.
I can keep it clean and cozy with very little effort.
Just makes my heart smile to live more of my life without being a slave to a house.
I have always loved to decorate for the holidays and this year having very little space to decorate was I going to be happy?!!!
I have to say YEP!!!! Wooo Hoooo! and Yeah!!! The little bit of space I had to decorate I made pretty and still was able to let out my holiday decor happy!
So here we go..........

That is my tour of my tiny cottage home all done for Christmas. Not a lot of big decor spaces but small cozy and pretty touches throughout the spaces. I wish all of you peace and love as we head on down to the big day.
Before I go I wanted to show you a little tour of Terry's Fireman Cave all done for Christmas.
Another friend gifted me this sweet little snowman. He is so cute and soft. I love him and he is sitting on the dining table off the family room in the fireman cave.
Wishing all of you a lot of fun as you shop, wrap, bake and decorate for Christmas. Hugs, Kris |
