Hot Pink, Lime Green and Turquoise Christmas Tree

I simply love my daughters Christmas tree! It is filled with all these crazy colors and fun ornaments. I found most of these ornaments last year at Garden Ridge for something like…
80% -90% off at the after Christmas sale! When my girls were younger I would let them pick out unique Christmas ornaments to put on small trees in their rooms. They always seemed to pick these bright and wild colors and so as the years have passed they have collected many fun brightly colored ornaments.
Now that my oldest is married she wants more of the traditional looking ornaments so Emily gets to keep all these crazy ones for now. I keep asking her if this is the kind of tree she wants to have someday when she is married and she always answers ..”of course! I love sparkly, shiny, foofy looking things and my husband and family will just have to love it too!” I love it!

I really enjoy looking at all these colors and at night when the tree is lit up is just glows!

The garlands look like beaded necklaces wrapped around the tree….little pink clear beads. For the tree skirt I had some lime green satin fabric laying around (from some pajama pants my mom and I had made for her volleyball team members a few years ago..Remember mom? We about pulled our hair out because the satin fabric would start to fray and fall apart so we actually made 11 pairs of pajama pants twice!!! OH Man they were a pain)
Emily draped the fabric around the base and it looks awesome!

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!
