holiday decorations for a tiny apartment.

December 13, 2012

tiny apartment pinecone swags At long last, a few shots of wintry decorations in our tiny apartment. This year, instead of a tree, I opted for wintery greenery of a more miniature kind: tiny swags, fir clippings in glass bottles, and a tiny garland or two. tiny apartment pine cone swags I wrote a set of step-by-step instructions for these tiny pinecone swags over on Gardenista where I’m a new contributor. I’d be delighted if you popped by to say hello; there are heaps of holiday inspiration to be found over there.

    They look lovely! What kind of tape do you use though? I'd love to do something like that but we have a rented apartment and I'm having a huge problem finding tape that doesn't stain/mark the walls?

      Japanese masking tape! Lots of pretty colors to choose from and I haven't had any trouble removing it from walls!

    Thanks for the tips! I'd like to have a tree, but I don't have room for it unfortunately.

    These look darling! We definitely don't have room for a tree in our itty apartment, so this is great inspiration.

    I love this idea! So much easier to clean up than a tree, and fits so much easier into smaller spaces šŸ™‚

    The set up in the last shot is awesome! I got a tree this year, but the pine cone swags would be perfect for other less-decorated parts of the apartment!

    I love what you've done with your wall! Great idea. I live in a tiny cabin and this will be my first year without (room for) a tree. This gives me some ideas on how to still bring in some cheer!
