For the love of our nation...

Summer is here in all its glory. With June coming to an end it can only mean one thing...it's time to celebrate our nation! Plus it's another reason to decorate...Cheers!
I love the 4th of July...and I love decorating my home and shop for every changing season and holiday. Sometimes it can be hard to work a very traditional color palette of red, white and blue into your existing color scheme. Here are a few ideas to get you started...

This area of the shop is primarily robin's egg blue, pale yellow and touches of soft pink. So how does it become center stage for a festive 4th display...

Simply add pieces that will complement your decor yet invite the spirit of the holiday...add a collection of mix-and-match red transferware...



Look for ways and places to repeat your color scheme and new holiday colors...



Don't lose your own personal style when decorating...just find creative and innovative ways to add a punch of the holiday spirit!



Well, I have a house and shop to decorate so I best get to work...and I can't wait! Take time to play house this week. Bring out pretty white linens, fill classic Coke bottles with miniature flags, fill a bowl with shiny red apples and have fun. Be filled with the season and show how much you love Miss Liberty!
