The Secret to Creating a Vintage Patriotic Vignette

Independence Day is just around the corner, can you believe it?! If you're looking to add a bit of patriotic decor to your home, but are tired of the store-bought decorations, here are a few tips on how to achieve the look you want!
First, commit to a color theme and repeat it throughout your vignette. In this case, traditionally, red, white, and blue would be used. To give it a more vintage feel, though, use creams or light tans instead of white. Also, incorporate vintage items like books in coordinating colors, a vintage drink caddy, and vintage linens. Don't have vintage linens? Fake it! I incorporated kitchen towels from IKEA, a hand painted drop cloth table cloth, and even a pillowcase!

I love, Love it! We are very patriotic here at my house & now that the fall & Christmas decorations are down & away, my hubby asks me this past weekend,“when are you putting our all American things back up on the mantle?” I was trying to think of something other than what I’ve had up for the past 5 years & I love this!!! I think I’ll try it!!!!
