Karins Kottage Linky Party

4 Inspiring Spring Ideas: Porches, Painted Pots, Book Crafts & Sourdough Waffles

Hello Friends! Better Late Than Never! I have 4 inspiring spring ideas for you today!

Life got a little busy this week (as it tends to do!), so I’m popping in a bit later than usual with this week’s Karins Kottage Weekly Linky Party. Thank you for your patience—I promise it was worth the wait!

I’ve rounded 4 inspiring spring ideas from some very talented bloggers that will spark your creativity this spring—from decorating your front porch to whipping up a new breakfast favorite.


🌸 From Drab to Fab: Front Porch Refresh

Sonata Home Design shares her genius tips for transforming a plain porch into a charming and welcoming entryway. Her post is full of simple, budget-friendly ideas that will have you running outside to fluff your own front step!

📚 Book Page Envelopes – A Creative Vintage Craft

If you love vintage touches and DIY projects, you’ll adore what Lisa from Fresh Vintage has created. These book page envelopes are easy to make, totally charming, and perfect for sending notes or using in your journaling.

🌿 Painted and Stenciled French Flower Pots

Donna from An Organized Season walks you through how to create French-inspired flower pots using simple paint and stencil techniques. This is such a lovely way to dress up your outdoor (or indoor!) spaces with a bit of European flair.

🍫 Chocolate Chip Sourdough Waffles – A Must Try!

The Loulou Girls are tempting us again with a fun and unique recipe—chocolate chip sourdough waffles! If you’re a fan of sourdough and chocolate (who isn’t?), this is a breakfast winner you need to try.

🌿 Karins Kottage Happenings

Outdoor Spring Tablescape with Fresh Branches

I set a simple, pretty outdoor table this week using just spring branches from my yard for a centerpiece and paired them with my go-to woven placemats and nautical napkin rings for a fresh look.

Closet Shopping: Cindy Hattersley Inspired Outfit

I’m always so inspired by Cindy Hattersley’s fashion posts, and this week I did my own version of her tiered skirt and denim jacket look. I shopped my closet and got pretty close with a few fun tweaks!

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!
