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!

  • Your fireplace mantel looks so good! I'm looking forward to see it done. Thanks so much for hosting us and appreciate the feature on my DIY thrifted gingerbread mug. Have a great week. XO- MaryJo

  • Karin, Merry December! Wow, I read your family events of last week - congrats on the return of your nephew from missionary, and the wedding couple! Girl, you must've felt like a Southern BBQ'er with all that pork roasting! The venue looked amazing. Family is everything. I just finished moving my 80 yr old sister from SC back to WV and what a job it was/still is! And she's gone from sunny mild temps straight to snow and bitter cold with our latest weather.
    Thanks for continuing to host through all the busyness of the season. Happy to join this time with the Christmas table. I'll keep you on the 2025 schedule.
