Patriotic Cottage

4th of July is one of my fave holidays and one that inspires fun red, white & blue decorating; pulling out the star pillows from the closet and hanging the flag outside, etc..

Sending my fave patriotic pictures to inspire you to decorate for those patriotic holidays or rooms with an American twist.


Classic & sweet American porch from Cherry Hill Cottage.
Flags in potted plants are an easy and inexpensive way to decorate in a very classic way. I like her cute banner in red, white & blue with "celebrate" . Visit her blog to see how you can purchase one!
Clever idea for the outside of a powder bathroom door.LOVE this idea above to display a quilt collection through a screen door & make a hallway end "pop".
Another use of a screen door above, used as an architectural element. Notice how the curve of the screen door relates to the curve of this magnificent staircase. Painting the stairwell door red makes it also pop as art. A staircase runner of seagrass would be a great addition as well.
Love how the designer from Bear-Hill Interiors used red on the ceiling & ceiling fan, as well as taking the curtains all the way to the ceiling. Visually makes the room tall and very dramatic.

Creative idea above. Looks like they used a retro scarf from a New England travel for the base of the quilt.Cool cruiser bike and precious porch!Classic bedroom from Suzanne Kasler.
Creative use of nautical flags.
Great "play" with varying stripe patterns.
Another "play" with stripes. Love the shuttered doors in the background.
