Best of 2013 Blog Posts

2013 was a great year for me…I feel like I actually did some fun and creative things instead of just “pinning” great ideas. I actually made a few things myself…like the music paper Christmas tree and the Anthropologie knock off wreath and made some for my family members too! I created bright colorful tissue paper flowers for my granddaughters Beauty and Beast birthday party and I made some delicious meals like the Turkey pot pie, a trifle or two and I even set a few pretty tablescapes for my family!

Over the years so many of you have inspired me to get my rear in gear and CREATE for myself and my family and I love it! The bloggy world has become a very busy place these days, I value each and everyone of you that takes a minute or two to look around and I hope you leave inspired to be CREATIVE in your own home too.

Happy New Years everyone!

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!
