If you are ever in the North Dallas, Texas area there is a great little town called “Old” McKinney. It is more than just tea rooms and antiques, think mod home furnishings, quirky collections, and a vibrant art scene. One of our favorite shops is called “The French Mix” and as you can see by the photos….it will definitely make you feel like you are somewhere in Paris! They carry all kinds of unique items as well as a beautiful line of french furniture. We have highlighted them on the home page of our website at http://www.thestylesisters.net/ but it is more fun to go in person! Plan to shop at this and many other unique and fun boutiques plus dine at some amazing little restaurants. We will be highlighting more places from Old McKinney soon so keep checking back either here on our blog or on our website at http://www.thestylesisters.net/ Don’t forget to sign up for our upcoming monthly Style Sister newsletter that will be filled with all kinds of fun tips and more DIY ideas! Let us know what you think of our website and things on the blog that you like!
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
