I’m already tired of the cold!

I know it is only January but I am tired of the cold…I know I am a wimp but I grew up in Sunny Southern California so after a few months of cold weather I am done and ready for warmth!
If I can’t have warm delicious weather around me right now I will just have to dream about it through these photos I found on
Coastal Living (the magazine) and on a fun website called Maine Cottage (Furniture)…Enjoy all this beautiful eye candy!
I am so Loving the polka dots!
Cool idea to hang the Orr’s on the wall above the sofa
I love the pop of red!
Doesn’t this just make you want to jump onto this bed and take afternoon nap!
I am picturing a lovely brunch served in this sunny room. Notice the chairs are not matching but when painted all white they look fab!
Or how about all green chairs.
With a view out that window who cares what color the chairs are! Fun and frilly with the pink chairs! I love the treatment on the backs of the chairs..so precious!

Just fun with the striped slipcovers!

Love the bold pink on the wicker chairs for a little pop!
Did you all enjoy this little eye candy!
Stay warm and toasty during this winter!
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!
