Bright and Bold Family Room

Bold and bright colors are just plain fun! Have you ever wondered what colors mean? I found some fun information on the internet about what colors mean from this site. Orange is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. It represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. No wonder I love Orange!

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!

    Love the information on colors. So interesting!
    Your family room looks like it's ready for a fun and vibrant Summer!
    I change my colors with the season. I have noticed that I love shades of greens and blues. They're calming to me. I add touches of pink, red, indigo, and black - depending on the season.
    Thanks for the fun post. Karin!
    Have a great day,
    Suzanne
