I am so so excited to share Karins Kottage linky party cool summer ideas with all of you! Such unique ideas for summer! Staring with an incredible DIY using a satellite dish of all things! Ideas on how to elevate a picnic, a yummy watermelon salsa recipe and decorating with seashells. I mean really what’s not to love about all these cool ideas?

Cool Summer ideas highlights

I have been wanting to put together a beautiful picnic by the lake and these ideas from A life unfolding have me craving it even more! So many fabulous ideas on how to make your picnics amazing! Make sure to pop over to see all the different ways to hold a picnic.

You all know how much I love sea shells. I use them in my decor and in my tablescapes. Common ground shares lots of great ideas that I need to incorporate into my home!

Some people are just so creative and South House designs takes the cake with this idea! Creating a swing out of a satellite dish!! How cool is this and perfect for summer!

It looks amazing!

I don’t know about you but so far we have the best watermelons this summer! I am so excited to try this easy watermelon salsa recipe from 3 boys and a dog.

Cucumbers, red onion, mint and cilantro! YUM!!

Karins Kottage Happenings

Last week we had some friends come to stay for a few day and we had a blast!

We played pickle ball, headed up to park city and went on a bike ride, paddle boarded, went to a car show and the farmer’s market!

Our friend Kelly did amazing for her first time paddle boarding! It was like she had been doing it all her life!

My hubby has to do his yearly head stand on the paddle board!

Not bad for a 60 year old!

Our community hosts summer concerts all through out the summer on Fri and Sat nights. It is one of our favorite things to do. This band called the Ryan Shupe and the Rubber band is so entertaining!

Our little farmers market in our neighborhood is so fun to go to. There are a lot of craft booths but there are some fruits and vegetables stands as well.

We bought some yummy rainier cherries and they were so good!

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!
