A Walk Down Patriotic Lane

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays!  I love it almost as much as I love Christmas!  I just love all the red, white and blue, and the flags flying high!  Today I’m taking a little walk down patriotic lane looking back at some old projects and designs featuring America’s favorite colors.

Star Spangled Shorts

There’s still time to make these star shorts before the 4th.  All you need is a bleach pen!  Click here for the easy tutorial.

Patriotic Clubhouse/ Swing Set

One of the things I really wish we had been able to take with us when we moved to Charleston is the clubhouse/swing set my dad and I built together.

How fun were these polka-dotted flower boxes?!  Easy to make with circle spongers and outdoor paint!

Red, White & Blue Year Round

This pic of our living room from our old house in Kentucky featured in BH&G’s Refresh Magazine is proof that red, white and blue works year round!

I love all the lighter paint colors in our Charleston home, but I do miss those bold red walls.

If you’re looking for a quick, easy and delicious recipe to share with family and friends this holiday weekend, this shrimp ceviche is a crowd favorite!
