It seems that almost every month has it's
'color'. A color that when added to my
home brings in a little of the season
or holiday. Red seems to make an
appearance more than any other;
July (Independence Day),
December (Christmas) and of
course, February (Valentine's Day).
December (Christmas) and of
course, February (Valentine's Day).
I just pop a few red dishes into the
chicken feeder plate rack.
Add a few red cups to the hooks in the cupboard.
Mix and match. Red, White, and Blue.
I couldn't find a wall to hang the flag
chalkboard, so I just hung it from a
cabinet door that stores some extra
dishes I use for another month.

Pop the printable in the white frame.
Take a break and bake a loaf of
Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread.
Tweak the counter tray.
Navy and white checked quilt.
Add the red, white and blue afghans.
Bring out the red tea set.
A USA sweater for the bear that sits
on a shutter on the sofa table.
That's the red vintage scale I've used
in other 'red' holidays.
A bouquet of flags. I've been making scrap
fabric balls and adding them as I finish.

And if all else fails, make a pot of tea!

You are right about red showing up a lot in July, but I like it any time for its energy and happy vibe.
ReplyDeleteI love your approach of sprinkling in the thematic decor throughout your home, rather than just one spot. Each vignette is lovelier than the next. And I just love the fabric scrap balls!! Terrifc... :-) Enjoy the Fourth!!

Gorgeous, I totally love this setting with all the red and blue dishes! I love the Onion pattern and transferware dishes, all my very fave. Lovely vignettes, Rita May, so warm and festive. You've inspired me to make a Little patriotic vignette for my kitchen.
