Refreshing August Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party

I am highlighting some refreshing August ideas for Centerpiece Wednesday linky party this week.

Don’t you love the word refreshing especially at the end of summer?

A yummy infused strawberry lemonade recipe, An easy and super cute terra cotta pot craft, a fabulous repurposed tray made from a lamp base and a scrumptious tomato salad recipe!

Centerpiece Wednesday Highlights from last week

Let’s get right to our fabulous highlights from last week.

Look at these adorable terra cotta pots that This Dear Casa is showing.

Using paint pens she was able to create this cute pots!

Frog tape and color shot pens do the job and I love the colors and patterns she used.

My hubbard Home shares her amazing tomato salad.

I have tons of tomatoes in my garden in all sizes so I am excited to make this tonight!

Rachelle has great gardening tips as well.

If you have an abundance of tomatoes growing in your garden you will love this tomato tart recipe.

Sipping infused lemonade sounds so good right about now with summer being almost over!

Walking on sunshine has a great recipe for infusing lemonade with fresh strawberries.

I love infused lemonade. I have a couple of recipes that might interest you as well.

How cute is this repurposed tray! Reinvented Delaware loves to recycle thrift store items.

I love how she used a lamp base for this lifted tray.

Repurposing is always so gratifying. I recycled these dining room chairs into French beauties!

I sure appreciate each one of you sharing your ideas each week!

Karins Kottage Happenings

Recently I posted about how to create a cottage lake look for your home.

These are my favorite colors 🙂

I share some of the difficulties of this room that has a corner fireplace only one complete wall and a few other anomalies in this room

If you have zucchini growing crazy in your garden this recipe for turkey zucchini boat appetizers is super yummy and easy to make.

You could even make full sized zucchini boats for dinner tonight.

Here is an oldie but a goodie.

A frozen birthday party!

My daughter put this together for my granddaughter years ago when Frozen first came out but it is so dang cute you really should check out.

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!

Karin thanks for the feature.
I know what you mean about a miss placed fire place. I use to visit friends that had one and every time I visited I was fixated on how I would rearrange their furniture around the fireplace. Drove me crazy!!!!

  Rachelle- You totally get me! I have been trying for 10 years to get this family room functioning the way I wanted and needed it with all the craziness of how this room is. It has driven me crazy but now I really like it..even with the corner fireplace and one full wall. haha
  
  Thanks for linking up! I am having your tomato salad today for lunch! :)
