I’ve already posted our holiday dining room, kitchen and front porch tours so I thought I’d share our cottage Christmas decor in the living room, sunroom and master before the holidays are over. 

I swear I’ve had my rooms ready to share with you. I even started decorating extra early but just ran out of time. If anything, maybe it will give you a little inspiration for next year, or it’ll take up the 10 minutes that you would have spent loading the dishwasher (a job I despise, BTW). 😉

Ok, household chores aside. 

Last year was our first Christmas in the cottage and, since we were fixing up some of the rooms, I didn’t go crazy decorating. This year I started early and wanted to “do it up” in the rooms that aren’t under construction. Although, let’s face it… something’s always under construction in our house. 

Let’s start the cottage Christmas tour in the master. If you were able to catch my FB Live, it’s still on my FB page, then you’ll know that this room is T.I.N.Y. We’re able to fit a king size bed but there’s not a whole lot of extra room for anything else. I kept the Christmas decor to a minimum and used texture, to keep it cozy, and a bit of red, to create a festive mood. Easy peasy. 

Moving on to the living room, which is not only a small but it’s also an awkward space. We can’t have a full size tree in here but I was able to find a skinny one that fit. 

We did several improvements to this room this past year (like the fireplace redo, paint on the walls and new window coverings) so it was nice to see the finished room decorated for Christmas.

I’m really loving the fireplace area this year. It’s still not in working order so I simply added lots of candles to give a similar glow.

This is where the tv lives so I just went with a simple garland and our stockings. You can see our skinny little tree standing tall in his olive bucket. Because it’s so slim, I kept it simple and only decorated it with lights. I think I like it (although I’m not quite convinced just yet).

Our entryway is small as well so I just added a few festive touches of green. 

I can’t forget about my jingle bells, in a thrift store vase that just got a makeover (check it out here). Hubs really loved this one (and he’s very picky).

I did a lot of work in the sunroom this past year so I couldn’t leave that out of the tour. The furniture was reconfigured during the makeover so the room has a completely different feel from last Christmas. 

I wanted it to feel cozy in here so I used lots of pillows, faux fur and a touch of burgundy.

Like all of our other rooms, this is a small space so I kept it to a minimum. I shared phase 1 of the makeover earlier this year. Phase 2 is complete and I’ll be sharing that in the new year. 

We love this space. The pretty view is what really draws you in. 

That’s the whole cottage Christmas tour (and the end of me using the word “small”).  😉

Thanks for checking it out and for all of your support this past year. I appreciate each and every one of you.

I never thought I’d be this excited to share our cottage Christmas kitchen but, yup…I am. This kitchen has quickly become a favorite space in our little cottage, and that’s even before we’ve done any updating. I think it’s the openness and that big beautiful window. It just really draws you in to the space. I tried to keep it simple, as far as holiday decor goes, and I’m loving how festive it feels (even without using red).

I’m so excited to be joining 2 Bees in a Pod who are hosting the Come Home for Christmas Tour. Each day this week a different room was shared by a group of talented bloggers. Today is the last day, and it’s all about kitchens, but you can check out the links at the bottom of the post and visit your favorites. You can also find a source list for this space at the end of the post.We haven’t done a lot to this space since we moved in but it really feels like “us”. Probably more than any other room. Yes, the cabinets need to be replaced, as well as the countertops, but just painting the window black, hanging my Farmers Market sign (that I made, here) and adding decor that means something to us just makes it special.

I love dressing the big window over the sink and even tried my hand at making a magnolia leaf garland, here. You can see that the leaves have already started to dry and curl. 

I always thought that you had to have a big beautiful space with top of the line appliances, marble countertops and a 10 foot island but this kitchen has definitely changed the way I feel about that.

No marble countertops here or top of the line appliances, and we could never fit a 10 foot island, but I wouldn’t change the size for anything. It’s small and cozy and it has just enough space for the two of us. Plus that window…I could never give the window up. 😉

This little area of the kitchen was my least favorite when we moved in. There was a cabinet hanging on the wall with a very dusty built-in wine rack (you can see how it looked before the transformation, here). It didn’t take me long to rip it down and add 2 simple barn wood shelves. Now we store our everyday dishes here so they’re always within reach, and it freed up a little bit of cabinet space for food (since we don’t have a pantry). 

Now we really love this area, and it was so fun to decorate. 

The island in our kitchen is a big favorite in our house. When we were buying the house we fought long and hard to keep it (apparently the sellers loved it too). We think that it was custom made and put together right in the house. The only modification we’ve done is a quick coat of paint. I love it and it’s the hardest working piece in this small space, giving us storage as well as a large work surface. 

Most of the greens I used are real, and right from the yard. I did tuck a faux stem in here and there but it’s hard to tell which is which. 

I think you’ve seen just about every inch, at every angle.  Thanks so much for touring our cozy Christmas kitchen space. 

What about you? Have you started your holiday decorating yet?

Happy Holidays!!! xx
