Went to an amazing model home

I had a chance to pop into a model home in a neighborhood close to me. The house was….amazing! I think it was close to 6,000 Sq. Ft. …a “Mcmansion”…I think is the current term for it. Waaaay tooo big for me…..But there were a few things I really liked about it and took a few pics to share with all of you. (Click on any of the photos to enlarge them to see the details better)

This kitchen was to die for! The walls were painted that yummy robin’s egg blue with white cabinets. There was lots of beautiful trim and crown molding everywhere.I thought this cupboard was beautifully done with stenciling at the back of the cupboard.

This is a larger view of part of the kitchen. It was just beautiful… You can click on the photos to see it larger.

Here is a picture looking towards the breakfast nook.
Here is one of the bathrooms that was stenciled too. It just looked so nice.


Here was a cute window treatment idea that I really loved. Simple and cute.

This was in one of the upstairs bathrooms! This is a turret (spelling) and they had covered it competely with black and white toile fabric and hung a chandelier from the center.

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!
