This weekend's theme:

~ patriotic projects ~

Who says you have to wait for a special occasion to play with a patriotic theme? I vote to celebrate where you love every day of the week! And with these clever projects, you can.


This stunning union jack design will remain a classic forever. Isn't this sharp?

Miss Mustard Seed




I just adore this Canadian banner made from book pages and construction paper. The rounded flags trimmed out with buttons add the perfect unique touch!

Simple As That





How about a little Americana on some crates, Betsy Ross style? I've always loved the circle of stars design.


By Mercantile Decor






Oh how I am in LOVE with this one! Random barn wood pieces wired together create the perfect American flag. Isn't this something?

Found at All Things Thrifty




Ahh!! Must have. This is way cute!

    Hi, Donna! I agree, that Union Jack dresser is a classic! Met a wonderful artist who reminded me of you and your love of funky junk. Featured her in your Home Decor section. Hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful weekend!
