Fall Decor Inside and Out

When my husband and I decided to downsize about 9 years ago to a tiny cottage, it was long before "Tiny Houses" were as popular as they are today. I love my tiny cottage and it has been so much fun to decorate. The acreage is much larger than the cottage with vegetable and herb gardens,outdoor kitchen and more. We repainted the outside of the house earlier this spring and then we redid all the front flower beds. The beds have had a chance to get started so I am happy to share the progress with you today, plus it is all ready for fall.

This Is The House Right Before It Was Painted and Shutters Were Added

This Was Right After It Was Painted

Now It's All Ready For Fall

All the old scrubs were transplanted and they are growing beautifully in my friends yard. We put a lot of new dirt in the bed along with our special Homemade Compost that we make here at the cottage.

We have dwarf Boxwoods spaced in the beds across the front.

In the back of the Boxwoods, I have my Zinna's. Some of my Zinna Seed came from our old house and are very special to me. We also planted Mums in alternating clumps between the Boxwoods. Then we covered the beds with Preen Mulsh to help with weed control. We will be planting blubs for the spring, along with Pansies and Flowering Kale for the winter.

We have had beautiful butterflys and humming birds, they love the Zinna's.

In A Tiny Cottage, Each Piece Has To Be A Working Piece and Each Decorator Item Has To Be Able To Work In Several Places During The Year.

When We Began To Downsize The Hardest Thing We Had To Do
Was Decide What To Keep And What To Part With.

I Love The Way The Light Comes Through The Door and
Puts A Spotlight On The Painting and The Sideboard.
