Stars and Stripes Blog Hop

I’m happy to be joining some very talented bloggers today in sharing our Patriotic home decor with you as we think about the 4th of July holiday weekend just around the corner. Hosted by Kristy over at Kristy Mastrandonas Blog.

If you are joining me from Wendy of WM Design House welcome! Wendy is such a dear friend here in our little blogosphere world and I just love her easy DIY 4th of July decorations don’t you?

Summer Window Boxes

Do you ever look at your home from the outside and think it’s missing something? If you’re like me, it’s like all the time, am I right?

So I grabbed a couple of old window boxes that use to surround our home in Vermont thinking they would be a good fit on each side of our garage here at our home in Maine.

Painting the wooden wall mounts from red to green to match the Beautiful Essex Green Coastal House Trim.

Then we easily drilled the wooden window flower box mounts below each garage window.

Red Geraniums

With the flower boxes filled with 7 to 8 small potted geraniums from the local garden shop, we rested the window boxes on the wooden mounts for the summer.

USA Flags

Next, it was time to take out my bag of collected summer Patriotic decor to decorate the window boxes.

It didn’t take long for Ella to join in and help out with the decorating too.

How to Fix a Flag Pole Rope?

This past winter our flag pole rope broke at our home in Vermont. We have no idea how to fix it as it’s so high up.

Any ideas other than highering a fire truck with a large ladder and a fireman to climb it? I’m so bummed!

Old Collected USA Flags

I’ve collected old torn flags over the years from our Vermont home’s flag pole. And I have hung onto each one of the flags to use throughout our homes for summer Patriotic decorating ideas.

So I thought I would wrap these two old USA flags around the window boxes for the upcoming 4th of July weekend.

I took a walk around the garage just this morning with my coffee to check out the red geranium window boxes.

And you know what?

I think these red geranium window boxes stand on their own perfectly fine without the USA flags for the upcoming Patriotic holiday.

I don’t want to overdo it and the pop of red with the white just looks so classic.
