Hi there! I can't believe we're already getting ready for the 4th of July! I hope the summer doesn't go by too fast. :) We got some much needed rain yesterday and I'm so thankful. We needed it badly. While it was raining, I spent the day inside cleaning my house and washing sheets. Then I spent 5 hours getting four posts ready for the blog. I recently painted my barstools, so look for a post on that soon. Anyway, I finally got my patriotic decor up, so I thought I'd share it with you.
This is our welcome sign by the front door.
The entry was kept pretty simple. I just added a couple of stars to the top of this cloche.
The mantel got minimal decor too with a wooden star, a metal "God Bless The USA" heart and a couple of patriotic bears.
This little pillow is hanging on our armoire in the living room.
It was literally pouring down rain right before I took this pic, but here are a couple of flags I added to my gomphrena flowers on the patio.
It's a little hard to see, but the ivy on top of the fridge is holding a few flag pics.
I love this dishcloth with the cupcakes. :)
This is my lone decoration on the buffet in the kitchen.
And that's it! Do you decorate for the 4th?

Thanks, Sherri! I think I got all of it on clearance through the years after the holiday was over. It's amazing what you can get the day AFTER a holiday. :) I was at Kohl's today and they already had 60% off theirs. Anyway, hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!
DeleteThree cheers for the red, white and blue! So excited for the 4th. It's my favorite holiday. I started putting out a few things, but you've inspired me to add a little more.
ReplyDeleteLisa, your home looks so beautiful! I have been staring at the pictures for a while. LOL Love all your red, white and blue touches. Looks so festive and elegant. Enjoy your weekend! Maria
ReplyDeleteVery nice and patriotic! I'm glad to hear you guys got your rain! I woke up yesterday morning to my husband saying it was raining..but I was too lazy and tired to get out of bed to check it out...lol. Have a lovely 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteYou have some cute patriotic decorations! I usually decorate my front porch for the 4th! I'm looking forward to it. I love fireworks.
ReplyDeleteSweet patriotic décor, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carolyn! I love decorating for the 4th because I don't have too many things and it literally takes me 5 minutes to get it all out, and 5 minutes to put away. :) Hope you're having a great weekend!
DeleteI saw your blog on Cozy Little House by Brenda...love the mirror and the new furniture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Barbara! I'm so much happier with that new furniture. I'm really starting to lean toward a lighter and brighter color palette in my home. Hope you have a great week!
DeleteI love your decor ideas for the Fourth of July. I would love if you would share a post on my meet up Monday Blog Party. I am doing Fourth of July cupcakes on Tuesday and I know your post will will be an awesome addition! Here is where you can add your post on Monday! http://lifewithjennifer.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer! Fourth of July cupcakes sound really good right now. :) Hope you have a great week!
DeleteLove it Lisa, your all set!
ReplyDeleteLove your decor. I did not decorated for the 4th. It is just me and the hubby and I felt like it was just too much trouble to put it all away. I hope when I retire, I will feel more like my old self.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! Sometimes I feel that way too. I'm excited to get it all out, but it's a different story when it's time to put it all away. :) At least with my July 4th decor it was only one box. :) Hope you have a safe and fun day tomorrow!
