Hey guys so did that post title get you to click over or what? Stay with me. It won’t be that scary I promise.
We are going to talk about what’s on my “list” this week. I promise it will be fun! And just in case you’re worried this could go horribly wrong here’s my disclaimer to put you more at ease.
At this time of year it seems like my reader, Pinterest, Facebook and IG feeds are inundated with patriotic home decor projects. It’s like bloggers feel pressure to participate in every single holiday season even if the projects are not always inspired. Don’t get me wrong I am proud to be an American and love the flag and the freedom it stands for. But I might stab myself in the eye if I see another pallet flag project.
Hey I am even guilty of this. I made a crap wreath two years ago.
And these cake bites. But hey they are cake – I have no beef with dessert.
Maybe my crankiness is based on they way Americana can get real country real fast. Like I’m one step away from an arrangement of mauve fake flowers and a ceramic goose with a blue ribbon. I blame my 80’s childhood.
Enough of my whining. Here are a few patriotic looks I actually dig.
I love everything about this backyard shindig setup by Lindsay of the White Buffalo Styling Co. This says modern patriotic all the way.
Simple and festive flags from the dollar store from Simple Details. I like easy and cheap and keeping it simple.
Americana is always great in a boy’s room – especially combined with Star Wars. Love Cassie’s son’s unique space!
Ok your turn. Tell me how you feel about Americana. Are you with me? Am I totally off base? Do you decorate july 4th? How do you keep it modern?
And most of all have a fabulous 4th of July weekend!
