patriotic exterior

What a fantastically pretty house! This traditional Victorian home is made even lovelier with the stars and stripes bunting and Uncle Sam décor items.

porch1

For a more paired back, but just as patriotic look, simple flags can be used to frame the porch area – swagging them around the pillars is an elegant touch.

porch2

Another similarly decorated porch, with a few stars and stripes accents in the soft furnishings and tableware to complete the look.

porch3

These pillar flags are simply fabulous – bold and classy at the same time, and beautifully paired with that red, white and blue starred cushion.

porch4

A bucket full of beer chilling on the porch, and the national flag hung in the background – sounds like the perfect place to start a party.

porch5

This porch is patriotic all year round – even though it’s not specifically referring to the Stars and Stripes, the red, white and blue décor accents give a ready-made party atmosphere.

porch6

Love the little crate in the corner here that has been given a patriotic makeover! A simple way to add some 4th of July flavor to your décor.

patriotic she-shed

A huge American flag festoons the inside wall of this gorgeous she-shed – a lovely place for a moment’s quiet contemplation before the party gets started!

patriotic flowerbed

This superb 4th of July idea might take a little forward planning – unless you can find already flowering plants that you can pop straight in to an empty flowerbed!

patriotic exterior lights

If you’re planning on celebrating well into the evening, then consider getting some patriotic exterior lights to add to your decorations.

bunting

This pretty, colorful bunting can be used for celebrations anytime of year – if you’re handy with a sewing machine, it’s a fairly simple DIY job with a few scraps of fabric and ribbon.

wood flag

Love this easy as anything wooden flag idea – all you need is a few strips of wood, some nails, some paint and a steady hand for the stars! Simple but very effective!

One for the kids: create this bold and beautiful center piece arrangement for your 4th of July dinner table with three painted mason jars jam packed with pretty blooms.

And for a more toned-down elegant and charming look, then this home-made collection of patriotic artwork, wreath and bunting might be for you.
