How to make fall hydrangea wreath with pumpkins

I was so excited to see that this fall hydrangea wreath tutorial made the top ten! I love to create something new from something old and this one did not disappoint! Plus I just love quick fast crafts that look like they took a lot of time to make.

Would you believe this wreath was 15 years old? I have redone this wreath multiple times!

We bought an Italian Palace

I was not surprised to see this post make the top 10! This is just so unique and exciting! I still have to pinch myself that we really did buy an Italian palace! Even more exciting is that we are finally starting renovations. It has taken a while to get off the ground because we bought it last January right before COVID hit 🙁

Crazy timing I know but this 250 year old beauty is going to be amazing!

BYU Blue and White Graduation Party Ideas

I put together this BYU blue and white graduation party for a friend of mine and I loved how it turned out! This was to be an outdoor party but it rained like crazy so we had to work fast to make it work.

So many fun details to this party- A beautiful indoor dessert table, an easy to make photo booth, super cute graduation hat cupcake toppers made from candy, no bake diploma cookies and dancing!

The graduate had so much fun!

Easy DIY Planked Table top

I think this DIY is one of my personal top 5 projects! Once again being able to recycle something old into something new is always a thrill for me! This table top looks like a million bucks and it was so cheap to do. I could not love it any more!

I am so grateful for my cute hubby and son in law and their building skills.

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!

  • So should we now refer to you as HRH Karin?😉 A palace! How fabulous is THAT?!?!!! I know you’re excited to get the renovations underway so that you can make full use of it! I’d be chomping at the bit!!!!!!!!!

    Lovely to see your Top 10! Being off the grid for 2 years left me in the lurch on many terrific blog posts. This is a quick and easy guide to see some great ones.

    Happy New Year to you and yours! Oh...and I started dismantling Christmas a couple of days ago. It is always a long and tedious process as I am meticulous about how I pack things away. Adding a ton of new stuff to the lot this year hasn’t helped AT ALL!!!!!!!!!

    • Alicia you crack me up! Haha HRH... I think I will tell my family they can refer to me as that now! 👍🏻 It’s so fun to reconnect with you again! I remember all your amazing tablescapes! Good to have you back!!

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • Oh my gosh Karin! What great posts you had for the year. I had no idea you bought an Italian Palace! I am definitely going to check that post out. Wishing you Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing what you have coming next!

    • Aww thank you Joanne! The yarn pumpkins have turned into one of my fall favorites now. I need to make sure I stock up on faux pumpkins next year and make some as gifts!
      Thanks so much for visiting today!

      Karin

  • Oh Karin I have some more reading to do! Your amazing villa and the cute hot air balloon and more! You have also inspired me to do my top 10! Happy New Year friend!
