I have been not loving my fireplace mantle decor until my sweet daughter, Madeline and I painted out my dark clock white..it just made a huge difference see before picture. Then Madeline created this mantlescape using Costco flowers. LOOOVE IT!
Here is the before of my dark clock…drab drab drab…I love light and bright colors so it was really bothering me.
We painted it white and roughed it up a bit in certain places to get a worn beachy look. It actually is a bit too white..almost a blue white (you can’t really tell in the pics) I am planning on making it a little warmer. Don’t you love how she arranged these flowers.
We bought two bouquets..One bouquet of orange tulips and the other a large green and white floral bouquet and then she separated out the green and white into four…actually five different bouquets. The fifth bouquet we are using a centerpiece on my kitchen table (not shown) Is this a way to get more bang for your buck or what!!!
This small bouquet is so pretty and delicate.
I love all the greenery Costco uses in their bouquets…unique leaves, long skinny stems with some sort of fluff of green on top.
These tulips have got to be one of my all time favs!
My little love birds were able to get in on all the action too….just a little something extra to bring in that spring feeling.

Karins KottageWelcome 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!

Fresh flowers plus white will always be a winner! You have done a beautiful job of making spring on your mantel! Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven.

I love the clock all white, especially with all the pretty flowers on the mantel. I adore tulips! I saw them at Costco and almost picked some up too...
Very pretty :-) Big difference a bit of white paint can do, huh?
Looks wonderful.
