Christmas is over but I wanted to share my dining room with you.

I kind of don’t want to acknowledge that Christmas is over but I wanted to share my dining room with you. Normally I am ready to clean it all up but this year I have just enjoyed every moment of this season! So I am going to share a couple of the rooms I did this year.

Dining Room

This is the dining room with my new chandelier from Wayfair. The light beachy looking wood mixed with rusty metal is such a fun look. To decorate for Christmas I simply hung a few colorful ornaments from it using light pink and fuchia colored ribbon. Christmas is over but I am going to enjoy my dining room a little bit more before I take everything down.

For the tablecloth I used a white textured throw from Ikea. I think it kind of gives the feeling of snow. You need to see how my dining room looks now! We painted it white and added shiplap to one wall and added a new planked table top to this old table.

This is my favorite Christmas tree! White with lots of colorful ornaments and a snow man head topper. I have had this darling snow man head for years now!

For a simple centerpiece I used a faux green wreath with a glass Christmas tree and soft pastel colored ball garland wrapped around it.

In glass apothecary jars I displayed

all kinds of colorful ornaments and garlands. I love how they all look under glass. Even though Christmas is over I just don’t want to take any of this down yet.

Family Room

A view of the family room from the mirror hangin in the hallway. It is so fun to make it light and bright in this family room.

I seriously have loved everything about Christmas this year! The light bright colors and the simplicity of everything.

Hope each of you have had a beautiful Christmas and will enjoy the coming new year!

Every year I do a fun Sugar Plum Fairy themed breakfast or dinner for our grandkids in the dining room and I decorate it with even more bright colored decor.

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!
