Patriotic Decor: Honoring Summer’s American Holidays

In this post: Looking for patriotic decor to celebrate summer’s American holidays? Try these ideas for Memorial Day decorations or for 4th of July decorations too.⇒

A few weeks ago it was Mother’s Day and I was determined to celebrate, pandemic be damned.  I set a pretty table using my vintage china, mixing and matching as is my favorite way to set a table. It was a very low key tablescape as we were only three people, but it felt SO good to give the day the attention it deserved and to put in the extra effort that makes an occasion special.

I resolved that day to do the same at least once a month.

I’m a firm believer that rituals at home can be elevated to create pleasure in your life and I approach all the small things in much the same way.  We keep our toothbrushes in a pair of cut crystal bud vases, store utensils next to the stove in a silver champagne bucket and use a porcelain letter holder to corral loose papers in the office.  Pretty much every opportunity I can take to upgrade one of these common routines I see as a chance to make everyday life that much more wonderful.

As Memorial Day approaches and with Fourth of July not far behind it, many of us will still be sheltering in place, while others will be cautiously reopening and social distancing all the same. These holidays will be different for us than they’ve been all these years.

Yet with care and attention you can still honor the day with an appropriate celebration that these events warrant. At the very least you can decorate your own little space with patriotic decor that’s as festive as you care to make it.

I tend to lean “elegant” whenever there is an option and I’m sharing a red, white and blue champagne brunch tablescape for today’s patriotic decor blog-hop. Be sure to visit the other bloggers’ posts, as well, as I think they will inspire you to make a memorable holiday!

      Thank you for reading our blogs! Perhaps it would help if I explain what a blog hop is, which is what today’s post is. A group of bloggers get together and pick a topic. Each one has their own post but they also share links to each other’s posts. This way, each of our readers has the opportunity to read not just the one post but also the others in the group. It’s a nice way to introduce our readers to each other’s content and it also provides our readers with multiple posts on the same topic.

      If you click on my link (the champagne brunch) it will take you to my own individual post and if you click on Shabbyfufu’s link (the pastel dining room) it will take you to her own individual post.

      In addition, we each post our own unique new content at least once a week. My new posts are usually on Mondays or Tuesdays. I hope that helps.

⁣
I've always found it so strange when people decorate the living room to be beautiful and never use it and then treat the family room like a junk room and spend all their time there.⁣
⁣
The room in the house that's most used deserves to be treated as such and given the most attention. ⁣

Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend KariAnne @thistlewood.  She's full of energy and personality and tons of smarts!  She wears red lipstick and is one of the most encouraging people I know.  If you're feeling sluggish, go get a does of inspiration from KariAnne because she's always more awake than anyone else.⁣
⁣
And yet, when it comes to her home, it's as peaceful and calming as you can possibly image. Yes, it oozes signs of her talent and creativity, but it's ever so serene in the best possible way! I just love this dichotomy because I find both sides of KariAnne to work perfectly together.  Be sure to check out her page to see what I mean.  You won't be disappointed... 🙌😀
