Independence Day Decor At The Cottage

Here at the Cottage, we decorate for almost every holiday, Independence Day is no exception! Over the years we've been blogging you've probably gathered that we love this holiday. It's kind of extra special for us because it's kinda neat to see your ancestors names beneath the Declaration Of Independence and among the founding fathers. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

In our family history is very important to us, mom has spent years tracing our ancestors through history and then teaching us about the amazing men and woman in our family tree. Some well-known figures in history, not all made great choices- a few were whispered to be a bit batty in the belfry if you catch my drift (which explains a lot... just kidding!). Anyway, this holiday is very special to us at the Cottage and it isn't just for the fireworks (But we love those too!). For us, it's like a taste of home, its a breath from the past to thank all of those who have fought and sacrificed to keep this nation the land of the free.

Patriotism runs deep in this military family, and the good ole' red white and blue is emblazoned on our hearts. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We draped pennants and bunting from the room and over the banisters on either side of the porch. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

On the door, we went with a grapevine wreath, a metal sign, and a red ribbon to draw some of the colors from the bunting. I love the way it looks against the black door.

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We kept the chalkboard and wagon in place but added pots of red geraniums. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

 On either side of the stairs, we placed the urns and filled them with red, white and blue flowers and a flag.

I always have so much fun decorating the dining room, and this holiday was no exception! As you can see we kept the chicken feeder from Burkes in the center of the table but changed out some of the pieces inside. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We removed the small potted plants and a few nests from our spring look [catch it HERE] and replaced those with glass bottles with flags. We also filled two slots with some old books in our color scheme.
#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We wanted to keep some of the natural touches, so we left one of the nests and added a bit of leaf garland and dried hydrangeas from last year.

We left the chickens in it because we loved the country/farmhouse feel it gave the centerpiece.

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We used a piece of muslin for the table runner, feed sack placemats we picked up at Walmart a few years ago and patriotic plates. We also used the cute little name tag milk jugs from Hobby Lobby.


#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We used daisy blue jean napkin rings [Tutorial HERE] and chicken wire napkin rings [Tutorial HERE] interchangeably around the table.

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We kept much of the side table the same, just added our courage canvass behind the antique silver chocolate pot.

Remember that German prayer chair we picked up at the yard sale last week? Well, it found a home in this little corner of the house. We also hung these pictures of the Bill of Rights and Declaration Of Independence on either side of the wall unit. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

The mantel is always a fun challenge to conquer, sometimes it just clicks and other times we have to keep adjusting until something clicks.

We wanted to keep a lot of our neutral colors in here but still add the touch of red white and blue we love so much.

You probably remember the cottage sign we made a few years ago [Tutorial HERE], underneath the sign, we placed this gorgeous blowup of one of our pictures. I love this shot so much! It makes me smile every time I look at it.

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

 On either side, we have canisters in whites and creams filled with cotton stems and hydrangeas. For garland, we used a strand of cotton we picked up at Hobby Lobby last year and these adorable driftwood stars. In the center of the mantel we hung this rustic bunting we found at Aldi. I love the whole look so much!

The trunk we bought at the yard sale with the pray chair is for now at home right here in the living room beneath the troop pictures of my grandfather and great-grandfather. On it, we place a vintage camera, vintage silver candlestick holders, a patriotic canteen, and Mr. Cottage's medals.

In the kitchen, we hung a tea stained bunting over the sink and changed up some of the decor on the counters.

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

We sat this cute enamel tray on the end of the island and sat a tea pot and a bud vase with a hydrangea in it. Down further we filled a bread bowl with fresh veggies from the garden.

We added an America sign to this wall to add a touch of 4th Of July to the farmhouse look. 

#4thofjuly #farmhouse #decorating #Independencedaydecorations #4thofjulydecor #farmhouse4thofjuly #interiordecorating #redwhiteandblue #america

Over the window seat, we hung cute pennants and we brought back the cotton wreath over the stove.
