Decorating for the Summer: A Patriotic Theme (Part 2)

Hello, and welcome to our great room

and dining area!

Continuing with yesterday's post,

here is our dining space...

The towels on the primitive ladder

were purchased at Hobby Lobby last week,

and replaced the beige and black ticking stripe

ones that I usually keep there...

I also bought the runner at HobLob,

and love the stars on it...

On the sideboard is a wooden plate which

had been painted by the artist mom of one

of hubby's son's friends,

along with some old transferware that I had.

The twiggy garland is also from HobLob...

Mr. Billy the Goat stands watch over our

fireplace most of the year.

Since the background is black, I didn't want

to use any navy blue here, so a minimal dose

of red seemed right.

This is the second year that I have put out

the little jars with (fake) flowers in them...

I've had the silver-glittered stars since I-

don't-remember-when,

but they seemed right to dress up the

red ribbon that has white stars on it...

Well, I wish you could come over and see it in person.

We could have some sweet tea and cookies!

Have you done any summer or patriotic decorating this year?
