One of the things I love about living in a small place is that it entices you to simplify everything. For example, it seriously took me 5 minutes to put away my Christmas decorations.

This year, I did several tiny vignettes around our apartment. I also put together a makeshift garland for above our bed. Because we have pretty much nowhere to put a tree, we sprung for a teeny white one that was so darling on its own that I didn’t even want to put ornaments on it.

Ahh, simplicity. I think reading those Swedish design blogs has totally been rubbing off on me.
