Just a little 4th

July 1, 2011 by Chris

Every year, I pull out my trusty American flag for some Independence Day decor. I love it, and it certainly makes a statement.

Two years ago (yep-two years), I bought some 4th of July fabric to coordinate within the room. Well, in that two year procrastination-fest, I figured out how to make pillows without actually sewing them.

Now that I’m a no-sewer (that reads so-er, not sue-er), I decided to revisit the fabric. It was just the touch the living room needed. A little 4th. A little July. Me likey.

I forgot to make a tutorial on these, so I’ll be back with that. You won’t believe how quickly these come together.  Well, maybe you will believe it. But you’ll be stunned. Flabbergasted?

How about a little link party? What have YOU been up to this week?

    I love the flag! I wish I had a mantle or somewhere in my house to display something like that for the 4th!

    I just drool every time I look at all the things you post! I just your flag and those pillows are just perfect … do I dare ask if you hot glued them or something if you didn’t sew them?! LOL Thanks for always inspiring me since I really stink at decorating my place!

    I love the folk-art flag!! I have one that I think I’ll pull out… yours inspired me. 😉
    The pillows turned out fantastic! I love the idea of changing out pillows for the seasons. The fabric you chose is perfect!

    I love your couches. Are they Pottery Barn? I love their slipcovered ones, but my budget is incredibly limited.

    • Chris says

      August 10, 2011 at 2:55 pm

      Hi Lisa! They are not. I believe they’re Bassett or Broyhill? We bought them 8 years ago, but we were able to customize them by choosing the arms, pillows, skirting, etc. I highly recommend them! Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Chris;
    Love your decorating ideas. What color is your living room…the color behind the fireplace?
