You may remember, I decorated my living room mantel with a non-traditional color scheme!
You may also remember, I decided to update my front porch with some wooden firecrackers!

I know, I know……traditional Fourth of July decorations are all about Red, White and Blue and flags everywhere!
Trust me, I’m as American as they come!
My hubby served for 26 years in the military…..I definitely have American pride!!
In fact, I like to show it on my front porch beginning right around Memorial Day!
Hubby and I ate a wonderful 4th of July dessert in mason jars on that very porch and I’m sure we will again come the big day!!!
BUT, I’m getting honest here………
Although I love looking at traditional decorations in other homes, I don’t really decorate the inside of my home with red, white and blue!

I take more of a non-traditional approach!! Here’s my mantel…..
