Before we kick off the New Year, I wanted to invite you into our home for our annual cozy Christmas home tour video—featuring our house, the Tiny Cottage, and a few glimpses of our own family celebrations.

Merry Christmas, friends! Welcome to our little cottage by the sea :). You’ll have to picture a warm greeting at the door, two pups jumping for joy, a big hug with a hello, a plate of Christmas cookies and a steaming mug of coffee or tea waiting for you just around the corner. You’ll really have to imagine the cookies because I haven’t made any yet :). Oh, well. I’m not Martha, but maybe I’ll get the cookies done by Christmas day.

It’s the week before Christmas, and while the to-do list always feels long this time of year, I’m excited for next week. And I’ve managed to find a few small pockets of time for my very favorite activity…puttering.

Florals + Greenery for Our Coastal Cottage Christmas Mantel
Today I wanted to share about our Christmas mantel! This year I thought it would be fun to try something a little different with floral and evergreen elements I already had. I layered a couple types of florals alongside evergreen garland, scattered pinecones, and the soft glow of (faux) candles. It was so simple to make but I think it makes such a pretty winter statement!

I usually start what I call “winter decorating” just before Thanksgiving so I can make our home feel extra cozy and welcoming for hosting over the whole season. We are hosting family on both holidays! We love the touch of greenery at Thanksgiving and leading up to the Christmas season.
It feels both festive and peaceful in here, so we’re ready to celebrate this season and blessings with gratitude!
let’s stay connected!
