Geraniums are one of my favorite summer flowers. The bright red colors or the white geraniums aren’t just for outdoor displays. Bring geraniums indoors and incorporate them into your vintage patriotic decor.
We love our geraniums around here, too. See more in the Red Geranium Time-Honored Window Flower Boxes and White Petunias Antique Arrangement Ideas posts.

Vintage Patriotic Table Centerpiece
Using tennis rackets in a patriotic theme can add a unique and playful touch to your decor. One creative idea is to incorporate vintage tennis rackets, preferably ones with red or blue handles, as decorative elements. Hang them on a wall or use them as a centerpiece on a table, surrounded by patriotic accents such as miniature American flags or red, white, and blue flowers. Another idea is to repurpose old tennis rackets by painting them in patriotic colors and using them as part of a DIY wall art display. You can arrange them in a star shape or create a flag-inspired pattern. Additionally, consider using tennis rackets as part of outdoor games and activities during patriotic celebrations. Set up a mini tennis court or create a patriotic-themed obstacle course using tennis rackets as props. These creative uses of tennis rackets in a patriotic theme will surely add a fun and festive vibe to your gatherings.
Vintage tennis racquets add all the Patriotic touches to this farmhouse dining room.

Badminton! Haven’t seen one of those in years and loved to play when I was quite young. All of your patriotic things are very nice, some bringing back memories as well. The little flower pots with flags are adorable and I love the way you used your large flag on the table and around the flowers. Nicely done! Happy Memorial Day to you and to all that have served this country!
Thank you so much Shirley. Happy Memorial Day weekend💙❤️
Ann,
All of your patriotic ideas are so clever. I love them all.
