Today I have such a fun and cute house to share with you! Touring this charming home will put a smile on your face and you’ll soon understand why Krista calls her blog, The Happy Housie. The cheerful colors in each cottage style room will leave you feeling light-hearted and happy as you enjoy each room. Ready to begin? I know I am!
As soon as you cross the threshold into Krista’s charming home, you’re greeted with color and whimsy. Note her attention to detail like the stripes on the chair that echo the colorful stripes in the rug.
Krista’s light and airy living room has a fantastic window letting in ample light!
Krista plays up the light in the room with pretty artwork and pillows.
In the dining room, dark chairs are paired with white providing interest.
The shuttered doors against the wall are a fun and unexpected touch.
Like the rest of this charming home, the kitchen is filled with light.
A few touches of blue accent the white cabinets.
Perhaps one of the reasons this home is so cheery and happy is its lakeside view on the deck!
Isn’t it beautiful?
Living here would be like being on vacation all year round.
Back inside, even the laundry room makes you smile!
A prettily patterned yellow and white skirt hides the washer and dryer.
The boys’ bedroom is fun and colorful too.
Krista cleverly added a reading book rack above each bed.
And did you see the adorable reading lights? So cute!
Cottage style touches can be seen throughout Krista’s home, like the board and batten in her master bedroom.
Krista has a true talent for pairing colors together. She does it beautifully.
More cottage style touches appear in the master bathroom.
A pretty patterned rug repeats the colors on the wall, tying it all together.
Now that the tour is over, are you feeling a bit lighter and happier?
I just adore Krista’s clean and colorful cottage style.

Hi! I'm Jennifer and I'm happy to have you here! I live where the suburbs meet the country, which affords me the best of both worlds. Come along on my journey where I share decorating, cooking, gardening and more as it relates to both city and rural life. 
I love her home too, it is fabulous and that view is to die for.
Thank you so much for featuring my home, Jennifer, and for all your kind comments about it!! I’m honoured!!
Now I know why Krista’s so happy! What a great location (and a beautiful home!)
What a darling place. Pinning 🙂
I love her abundant use of color. I am so tired of rooms with beige, brown, and autumn colors. Or nothing but gray and white. I would wake up every day feeling happy in this cute home.
beautiful home…love all the natural like and Happy colors. We have a little cabin in the woods…wish it was blessed with that kind of light…but because we are under a canopy of trees….not so much, I’m learning to love it.
Have a wonderful day
Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful home! The colors are so fun and happy, and the location is just beautiful! I love Krista’s decorating style.
Such a charming home and it really does make you feel happy. Krista has put a lot of love and creativity into her home!
Thanks for the tour of this beautiful home. I love the colours (aqua/turquoise) and pastels with the white. It’s so fresh.
