Begin Your Patriotic Home Decor at the Entrance
Just like ushering in the season, welcome yourself and your guests with a fun, patriotic vignette as they enter. Combine vintage or new flags with other classic summertime standards: colorful quilt accents, daisies, galvanized accessories, and anything that represents light or sparkle.
Decorate with Vintage Collections that Stir Up Classic Memories
It’s fun to pull out the vintage collections that harken back to a simpler time. Seeing old things may stir the memories of guests, and hopefully inspire them to share some remembrances of the “old days”. The vintage graphics on many packages have charming colors that easily meld with patriotic and summertime decor.
Soft Goods such as Quilts, Throws and Pillows can Provide Big Impact
It can be hard to create a theme when you only have a couple small accessories. But one trip to the thrift store can provide big impact with colorful quilts, throws or pillows in your color scheme. Drape them over a sofa, chair, or use them as a tablecloth or coffee table accent to give a big punch for little expense.
You Can’t Go Wrong with Flags and Grass!
Packages of multi-sized flags are on the end isles of every store. Pop them in some unexpected places for fun-indoors and out! I’ve got some ideas in “Decorating with Flags”.
Lush, green grass is a wonderful backdrop for outside, but can also be fun inside! Containers of fake grass are a great addition to any vignette, but square yards of grass can also be bought at the home store in the carpet department. Simply cut into smaller pieces with a utility knife. The squares can be used as a foundation for any centerpiece or vignette.

I, too, always enjoy seeing your collections. I finally got around to getting my red, white, and blue wreathe and a yard stake out this a.m. As well as my hummingbird feeders!! Love the license plate trug. I have old “initial plates” from 30+ years ago–KATHY O. They would make a great box!
Yes, you definitely need to make something with those old plates, Kathy! It is so fun to enjoy all the patriotic vintage things in the summer!
Your vintage collection is so fascinating and delightful! That campaign cookie cutter makes me chuckle! I’m so glad I got to know you through the Pinterest Challenge. Thanks for sharing your patriotic decor at Tuesday Turn About!
Thanks, Crissy! Yes, it’s always fun to find new bloggers that fit with your style!
Lora, I’m loving the patriotic theme. You always have the best vignettes, no matter what you put together it works! Thanks for sharing on Tuesday Turn About!
Thanks for your sweet compliments, Michelle! I always love when it’s time to wave the red, white and blue and get all decorated up for summer!
I always enjoy seeing your collections, Lora! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
And I have so many…:)
Hi Lora!

My parents are buried three hours away but, i do have cousins i can visit while i am there, just got back, love all your cute ideas. Before i left just put something on my front door and since it’s raining decorating is the perfect thing to do,thanks.
Yes, a rainy day is the perfect time to do some decorating!
I love your patriotic displays! You have so many interesting vintage goodies to display. The Republican cookie cutter set is super neat and neat I would guess to be very collectible.
Thanks, Paula! I should probably look up how much that cookie cutter is worth…but then again, maybe I don’t want to know;)
Beautiful as always! I love your ideas and the fresh way you upcycle. I miss you, my friend! xox
