The summer days of the red, white, and blue are here!  And we are celebrating this great color palette with some fresh home decorating ideas!  Rather the “once a year, 4th of July” accessories, we’ve concentrated more on showing you ways to bring this color scheme into your house all year round.

Stars and stripes can appear on a lot more than the American flag (although we are so proud of the the stars and stripes that are there!)  Draperies, bedding, chairs, mirrors, consoles, lighting, tables… you name it, we’ve found it!  Celebrate the Fourth of July with some red, white, and blue year round!!

I love these West Elm drapes.  Perfect for a beach house or a sun porch, don’t you think?

These separates can be used together to celebrate our nation’s birthday, or each by itself anytime of the year!

Of course, we had to add some great tableware for your July activities, but in keeping with our theme, these can be used all year.   Star table pieces look great for the holidays as well.

So, whether it is July or December, use your red, white, and blue, stars and stripes, all year long!
