I always love decorating my home with Holiday Decor. But this year, it has been even sweeter! I think it's because with all of the ugliness happening in the world, that I cannot control, I like being in control of what the inside of my home looks like. How's that for some psychological deconstructing?!
If you are looking for some inspiration to decorate your home in Vintage Farmhouse 4th of July, you've come to the right place. Read on!
This year, more than ever, I am so grateful for this country. I love to pay my tribute by decorating our home in Red, White and Blue. And frankly this year, I needed the chance to do something, rather than just think about things I'm frustrated about. Decorating my home for July 4th was the perfect opportunity to creatively stretch myself.

I will be sharing several tips that I have used to decorate for the 4th of July in my home.

This cabinet, always a favorite place of mine to decorate, is living a new life with a white coat of paint. |
Tip #1 Use what you have I grabbed my tote of Independence Day decor, and pulled all of the red, white and blue vintage goods I could find from my stash. Once I gathered everything I was surprised by how much I had. I ended up using:
Vintage Goods
- tin cans
- tool boxes
- thermos'
- suitcase (from my ballet days as a child)

Gather various tin cans and fill them with bush or flower clippings from the garden. |

Vintage Tool Boxes make the perfect thing to add lifts and levels to vintage vignettes. |
Tip #2 Putting together Vintage Vignettes that are layered and interesting. I lay everything out on my couch or floor to see what I have to work with. Then I start placing things here and there. Adding/Removing items around my home until I come up with vingettes I like.

Pick up various items, like the red white and blue bank and small red scale, while thrifting during the off season. |
Tip #3 Finding great vintage good when shopping: Just about all of the vintage/thrifted things I have are from
Goodwill or the
Flea Market. I have a lot of luck because I go often, I am prepared to not find anything each time I go, I buy the things I like (that are within budget) and especially buy things off-season. I bought the budget bank above at Goodwill in January.

Add holiday color to your sofa with throw blankets and pillows. A cute pupper doesn't hurt either. |
Tip #4 Put a cute puppy in the vignettes Just kidding, although she does make everything look good. I pulled out a red throw blanket and blue and white pillow covers that I made using
this method several years ago.

This green cabinet is one of my favorite pieces in my entire house. I love building vignettes around it. |
Tip #5 Build on what you have In this vignette, I added a little bit of patriotic decor to the things I already had like the shutters, grain sifter, plant and green industrial cabinet. I placed small flags in the lavender, placed our plant on top of patriotic books and placed a star on top of a vintage spindle.
Tip #6 Keep it simple The flags are a beautiful statement all on their own. Nothing more was needed on this shelf than to display them in glass jars.
