We woke up this morning to a startling temperature of -17. However, it's warm and cozy in our little cottage and I'm all geared up to share with you 30 of my favorite small spaces decorated for Christmas.
Welcome to the eighty-fifth post in the series
"Living Large in Small Spaces".
Truthfully, whether this is a small space or not, I'm including it because I have a crush on the chair. The rest of the decor is stunning, too, but that chair (sigh).
I'm partial to weathered natural wood with white. Throw in a plaid (just a tad faded) throw, and you've got me hooked.
No doubt about the season in this traditional red and white room. The tree is loaded with ornaments. Sometimes more is just. . .more

You knew you'd find a traditional English cottage in my collection, right?

Calm, serene, and altogether lovely. Very nappable. (Is nappable a word? No? Okay, it is now.)

So much character in this room. Notice the shabby chic frame with the hanging ornaments?
Okay, this is a bedroom where I'd like to spend the season. Rustic - check. Pretty - check. Comfy/cozy - check. Bring in the hot chocolate and a boatload of magazines. I'm ready to snuggle down and wait for spring.
Seriously, why is this cat not entangled in those lights?

This child's room is so sweet. I love everything about it and could absolutely see this as a guest room with a bigger bed. Even the owl pillow -- which I personally believe is the best owl pillow I've ever seen. Maybe it's the pale blue that I like so much.
Here's another kids' room I like.
This one was found in the "kids" category, but would make such a charming guest room.
A kids' treehouse all decked out for Christmas. Adorable.
Glamping anyone? This vintage Christmas camper is dressed to the nines. Click on the Source link to see the rest of it, AFTER you finish this post, of course. :)
Too cold to go glamping? How about creating a cozy indoor glamping spot like this one?
Or maybe just bundle up and enjoy your favorite hot beverage in front of an outdoor fireplace like this. Oh, those chairs!

I found something to love in every single one of those pictures. I am remembering so many Christmases we spent together....special memories of our favorite friends. Love you, friend, Merry Christmas! Ellen
ReplyDeleteRemember the times we made homemade tamales together for Christmas Eve (it was Christmas Eve and not New Year's Eve right? I think you always made clam chowder on New Year's Eve.) Oh my goodness, those were the days. We had so much fun together, didn't we? Miss you, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteYep, tamales for Christmas (that was too much work, so we switched to Enchiladas as we gained more kids. We still do Enchiladas every Christmas Eve!) We still do clam chowder for New Year's Eve, too. Some traditions are hard to give up! Miss you, too!
DeleteI think my very favorite was the minimalist Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, what on earth is that huge white dangling thing in the photo of the bedroom with the shabby chic frame and hanging ornaments?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's an exposed structural element. Can't swear to it, though.
DeleteLooking at all these rooms was like a mini vacation! Restful and inspirational. Well done!
ReplyDeletehi drae friend!!! que linda sellecion de habotaciones todas bellamente decoradas para esta navidad . espero que tengas un bendecido domingo
ReplyDeletecariños
Hola Angélica! Asà que me alegro de que disfrutaron. Feliz Navidad!
DeleteAll wonderful choices with each speaking to my heart in different ways. Thank you for the Christmas beauty.
ReplyDeletexo,
Vera
Wonderful post, Nancy! What fun to see so much Christmas inspiration. I am of the mind that more is more when decorating the tree. The more ornaments dripping from it, the better :) Have a great week and a happy holiday!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I think it takes a special talent to pull off "more is more", and you are blessed with that gift.
DeleteAhhhhh Nancy just swooning over all of these pictures. There is something in each one that grabs my heart. Beautiful. Have a great rest of this wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Your entertaining little description with each picture was so fun to read, I love how you pick out the most amazing details of each one. I couldn't pick a favorite, except maybe the kitchen with the stairs, I love that too. And that cat with all those lights, lol! No, that would not be happening in the real world, not mine anyhow! LOL... enjoyed this post so much Nancy, love your pictures of inspiration :) Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteOh my, oh my, oh my . . .
ReplyDeleteI could spend hours!
The knit, woven rug in the picture with your favorite chair . . .
HAD ME . . .
Loved this collection . . . now I go back for more "looks!"
Merry Christmas Nancy . . .
you've done it again ...
ReplyDeletecreated a blog post of everything i'd choose
and more. swOoning over every picture. golly.
I love all these rooms! The vintage kitchen has stole my heart though :)
ReplyDeleteI love every.single.one!!! Oh, to be brave enough to try some of the Christmas décor in these pictures and deviate just a little from the same old every year. I guess we call it tradition!
ReplyDeleteNancy, this was so much fun. So many beautiful ways to express Christmas . . . I enjoyed every single photo. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures very beautiful.. I love the kid's treehouse most, I wish I could have gotten back my childhood.. :)

Like Krisha, I love the kids' treehouse, and would move in a minute! Nancy, I am LOL at your comment about the cat not being entangled in lights. Have a 5-month-old kitten that can't leave anything alone!
ReplyDeleteI know. Cats like to play with lights, for heaven sakes. I'll bet anything as soon as the photographer put down the camera that kitty pounced on those lights. You just know he/she did!
DeleteVery cozy Christmas rooms Nancy. I was amazed at all the total white decor. I lean more towards traditional Christmas colors when I decorate. Although one year I did a small tree with beach decor and blue and white with silver accents. Maybe next year I will decorate my new home. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteLove all the beautiful Christmas rooms and love them all - so much inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your kind visit and for looking at my daughters video.
Enjoy the week
hugs

Ah...swoon, sigh, gasp, WANT! I have picked up a few tricks along the way this winter from ideas as such: fur throws and pillows, the Scandinavian wreath chandelier (I need to finish making it) and natural elements around the house. What a difference it makes to give an authentic, woodland feel! Oh Nancy, your choices are marvelous and yes, you must always include an English cottage! I am so glad you are back! KEEP WARM!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely rooms, sweetly decorated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Happy Christmas week and day ~ FlowerLady
thank you for enriching the eyes with such wonderful ideas of Christmas decorations
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful Christmas ahead dear!
Oh WOW, such beautiful spaces Nancy. I think nappable is a very good word, I adore the chandelier in that room. The curved ceiling room reminds me of a hobbit home :-) The green and red berries and baubles hanging from the rustic beam is gorgeous, and I too would love to curl up for the whole winter in that exquisite bedroom.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI like how the aprons are displayed. That is a fun idea. My husband's aunt gave us Jeremy's grandma's aprons. I am trying to think of a way to display them, I like that idea.
Carla
These are wonderful! I could move right into any of these rooms. Yes, napable is a word. I think!
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
Oh my! Thank you for taking the time to unearth all these photos of such charming places to share with us! Each one is special in a different way, but all are filled with charm. I need to go back and look again...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Many great inspiration pictures! My favourite is the first one, simple and cosy.
ReplyDeleteLove them all Nancy....thanks for sharing! Haven't been blogging for awhile. Hope all is well with you. God bless!
