We decided to put up some festive red white and blue deocorations on the outside of our house and I am really enjoying how it looks. I am surprised that in our neighborhood hardly any homes have any decorations up.
I put a large red white and blue ribbon around our outdoor lights…just that one little detail adds a little something.
I also stuck some American flags into our flower pots along the walk to the front door.I have had this white wooden wheel for a long time…I think I purchased it at Hobby Lobby and I use it every year for the fourth of July. There is a garland of red berries wrapped in out through the spokes and then I just glue gunned the American flags to it. This photo shows front of our house….I wish I could convince my hubby to hop up onto a ladder so we could hang more buntings from the top windows…but it is really high up …plus I don’t think we own a ladder would reach that high up. On the fourth of July I want to line the walkway with mason jars filled with sand and white candles so it will really light it up in a fun way. What are y’all doing to decorate for the 4th?

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!
