Beachy Tablescape How To Video

Beachy Tablescape How to Video

I have been craving the beach so much lately…I guess because it is summer and I grew up in Southern California and sometimes I just miss it. My inspiration for this tablescape came from memories of Laguna Beach..I remember going there as a kid with my family occasionally and it was always a treat. I remember a lot of white stucco buildings, the gorgeous foaming ocean, little shops downtown that had a Mediterranean feel to them and of course many beautiful sea shells at the beach!

Here is my how to video of how I created this Beachy tablescape look.

I love the distressed look of this cake stand. It is unique in that it has this large ornate topper that sits on top of the actual cake plate. I love this piece and it is so fun to full it with all sorts of things…like sea shells.

I used some of my silver votive candle holders to add a little flicker of light at each place setting. You can order them HERE

I love these bamboo looking chargers…they add a lot of texture!

Using frames, sea shells and star fish add to the whole look.

I can’t wait to show you the small wedding and reception I did for a sweet couple in my backyard yesterday. Amazingly enough a cute blogger friend of mine that I met through blogging years ago, Isabelle Thornton, happened to be the photographer for the wedding….she is the brides cousin. Isabelle is an amazing photographer and took some gorgeous photos check out her blog http://lechateaudesfleurs.blogspot.com/

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!
