Vintage Fourth of July Decor

Add in some vintage Fourth of July decor for festive touches of red, white, and blue before the holidays. Summer is a great time to show your patriotism.

It’s officially summer! To me, that means watermelon, concerts outside, county fairs, flip flops, lightening bugs, sprinklers, barbecues, I could go on and on.

It’s already insanely hot here in St. Louis, but I am just going with it! Summer hasn’t always been my favorite time of the year, we all know my complete obsession with fall, and that will never change.

However, it’s feeling pretty go so far this year. Fourth of July is right around the corner and I am looking forward to a nice long extended weekend with lots of family time.

Until then I figured I would deck out the house in red, white and blue vintage Fourth of July decor, because for some reason patriotic looks good on farmhouse decor.

There is something about the two that just go together.

Vintage American Flag and Canisters

On a recent trip to an antique mall I picked up an old cloth American flag, which sparked my whole patriotic theme. I am actually loving the pops of color it added to the house.

I’ve also been collecting red, white, and blue old canisters. I grabbed the Campfire Marshmallows one because what better ode to summer than marshmallows!

DIY Patriotic Decor

I made this DIY Rustic Wooden American Flag and it fit great on top of our dining room hutch. It was such a fun project to do, and something we’ll be able to display all summer.

Mini-DIY’s don’t go unnoticed here either. I had a bag of wooden sticks from the craft store and quickly glued together a star to display here and there.

Red, White, and Blue Snacks

Who doesn’t love a good snack bar? It’s always fun for me to decorate with food, and create a color theme.

I found this fun French Soda at World Market and thought the red, white and blue would go great with my theme. Paper straws are always a fun addition too.

Bunting and Books

I’m a sucker for a good garland, especially bunting like this fun red, white, and blue one. I strung it across my DIY chalkboards for a festive touch in our office.

And of course, you can pair any theme with color coordinated vintage books.

Stars and Flags

Extra little touches around the house for the fourth always include stars and any kind of American flag. I love the mini flags because you can add them just about anywhere.

What is your favorite patriotic look from above?
