Holiday Tablescape Sneak Peeks

My daughter and I have been creating tablescape ideas for the upcoming holidays (and a little cooking group thing we are hosting). We drug out the holiday boxes from the garage (much to the dismay of the Hubby). After ransacking through all the billions of boxes we decided to go for something wild and do a BRIGHT colored Christmas tablescape. We LOVE the idea of hanging ornaments from the chandelier and so we started there and it just continued to explode throughout the dining room. Here are a couple of sneak peeks of that with more pics to come along with a few how-to’s!

Here are a few of our Thanksgiving tablescape ideas using natural elements as well as faux. We tried to focus on using things that most people would have around the house or could be purchased inexpensively. Then we added a few embelishments like sheet moss and old books! It has turned out better than expected. We will have a few how-to’s to follow in the coming week with this as well.

I am hoping to get ourselves on Good Things Utah but everytime I mention it my daughter just rolls her eyes. Rude! I am funny!

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!

Yes we have been having a fun time getting out some of the Christmas decor just for the dining room. WE are hosting a Cooking group and sharing ideas for the holidays. This will come down before Thanksgiving and then go back up around Christmas. The dining room reminds me of the children's Book...Fancy Nancy. It also makes me think of Sugar Plum Faries...just so fun! :)

Already digging out the Christmas boxes...very ambitious. I managed to stick an Autumn Leaves garland with a few other things on the mantle tonight. I look forward to seeing the final results of all your design work! Thanks for inviting us for a sneak peak. Cherry Kay
