Tiny House Adventures

My mother goes all out with Christmas decorations. Imagine several trees of varying sizes (both indoors and out), a vast snowman collection, dozens of Snow Babies, lights, tinsel, and a fiber-optic tree I lovingly refer to as the “psychedelic tree.”

Now imagine growing up as the child of this holiday explosion – naturally, I have several boxes of my own Christmas decorations, carefully wrapped and kept in our storage unit. I believe I own more holiday decorations than I do yarn, and for anyone who knows me, that is saying something.

Jamie, being the amazing human she is, cleared off a windowsill, stapled clothesline to the underside of beams and stepped back to generally let me have my way with the tiny house, even though I had to whittle my collection down to what I could fit into one small cardboard box. I fully believe you can have just as much holiday spirit and fun with decorating in a tiny space as you can in a large one, as long as you have a little ingenuity and a very understanding partner.

Icicle lights and a candy cane made the front of our house look like a gingerbread house!
