Modern Americana from Etsy
I admit, I’m not really into USA patriotic decor (or fashion for that matter). It doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my native country and those who keep it great, but I’m not running out to hang American flags from the front door any time soon.
I prefer a more subtle show of support. And what better way to achieve it than with some goodies from Etsy (let’s support small business and the entrepreneurial spirit, too!) Here are three little items that can be incorporated into a backyard setup for a modern and easy festive look:
- Felt wreath: I love how bold and uncluttered this is. I also imagine you could swap out the ribbon to fit other occasions.
- Vintage red lantern: Everyone needs a bright vintage piece any time of the year.
- Pillows: Stars are fun. Stripes are fun. Stars and stripes are too obvious, so I’m loving this deconstructed flag with reverse colors. It feels fresh.
In an Outdoor Space
The key here is edit, edit, edit. Don’t go overboard with cutesy references to flags or forefathers. A subtle nod to the USA is all takes to establish the theme. That and some burgers, beers, and friends, of course. Happy 4th!
I am all for supporting small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit so bravo. Looks like a lovely setting to celebrate the 4th July, I’ll remember this for next year!
