It is so easy to decorate for the summer holidays in the United States ! All you really need is an assortment of American flags on wooden sticks and a few minutes time and BAM… you’re ready to celebrate!
If you are like me and are running a bit behind in your holiday decorating, I found two different sizes of American flags on Amazon. Of course, there are more sizes available but I find the 4 x 6 and the 12 x 8 inch variety will work great for your interior decorating! They will even work outside!
I also added a link for the 3 hole base that will hold three 4 x 6 ” flags.

Once you have your two sizes of American flags , you are ready to start! I basically run around the house and find places to stick the flags and I am done! In all honesty, I did take the time to make the summer themed dough bowl a bit earlier this summer. The details behind making it can be found here:
The summer dough bowl display is quick and easy to put together and can add a festive touch to your home all through the summer and even until the World Series is over if you are a true baseball fan!
Flags & Flowers
I have several silk arrangements around the house. I simply added three flags to the one above and moved it to a different location and it looks ready for the 4th, don’t you think?
The arrangement in the antique basket is accented with an American flag. The flag not only adds a festive 4th of July touch, it also adds some height to the arrangement, making the vignette stand out. The S on the table is from an old sign. The patriotic inspired sign also adds additional interest to this corner of the gathering room.
This outdoor planter just needed a flag added to the center of the pot and it too was ready to show off for the holiday!
I could even add a water proof bow to the side to add even more sparkle to the pot! If I have thyme in the next couple of days, I might do that!
A Farmhouse Touch to the 4th
This cute primitive bench was one of the many treasures I brought to Florida from the family farmhouse. The little bench wasn’t always so cute, though! The story behind its transformation can be found here:
Before & After for the 4th
The corner cabinet refresh was a bit more involved. I actually started on it right before Memorial Day but I wanted to add it here since it is patriotic inspired. I removed all the Christmas touches (yes I was still putting away Christmas in May) and added more of my restaurant dishes and my Mom’s Pfaltzgraff Heritage dishes.
And if you need more patriotic inspiration, here are a few more posts to help you get inspired!
