Patriotic 4th of July Kitchen Decor Ideas

 

Decorating the kitchen for the 4^th of July is an activity that I enjoy. Normally I go all out decorating the kitchen as this is the room where family and friends tend to congregate. 

One way to decorate your kitchen for the 4th of July is to set the kitchen table with a festive holiday red white and blue tablecloth, then add placemats, napkins, and mason jars for the beverages. 

 Know that there are no rules when it comes to decorating for the 4^th of July holiday except to have fun.

Festive 4th of July Kitchen Decorations

Here is a red white and blue tablecloth that I created at my Zazzle store. This made-in-the-USA cotton tablecloth would look nice indoors or outdoors. This tablecloth features a beautiful edge-to-edge printing of vibrant red and blue colors. The edges are folded and hemmed for a perfect finish. 

June is the month when I start to get ready for the 4^th of July. That is when I look through my storage containers to determine what I have and what I need. Then as soon as the 4^th of July holiday decorations hit the store shelves I will be shopping for what I need.

This year I will be adding patriotic-designed mason jars to my table setting.  I thought they could hold small American flags and also I will be using them to serve lemonade.  Here is a mason jar that I found at Zazzle.  I think it's perfect.

My 4th of July shopping lists consist of red white and blue paper plates, napkins, placemats, table runners or tablecloths, kitchen towels, small flags for the centerpiece, and votive candles for the kitchen table. If I see decorative containers, serving trays, and kitchen products that have a patriotic / Americana design then I will buy and use them on my kitchen counter or add them to my baker's rack.

A centerpiece for your table is a must. Try to keep with a red white and blue flower scheme by choosing flowers that would coordinate with the holiday.  I like red roses, white carnations, or blue or white hydrangea cut flowers in a festive red or blue color vase. Accent your flower arrangement with small flags and you will have a perfect 4^th of July centerpiece for your kitchen table.

Love Faux Wrapped Canvas Prints at Zazzle

 If you like the way a wrapped canvas print looks but not the cost then you will love a faux-wrapped canvas print at Zazzle.com

The faux-wrapped canvas prints are a cost-effective alternative to a traditional wrapped canvas that will cost you $100.00 plus and a faux Canvas 10X10 size is under $25.00. 

So if you are seeking a canvas print for a cherished memory like your wedding, a special family photo, or a keepsake then shop for a canvas print that is made with a special ink-receptive coating to protect the surface from cracking or fading. A museum-quality canvas print at Zazzle is stunning and will last a lifetime. But if you want to update the walls in your home with affordable wall art then shop for a faux canvas print or create your own canvas print by uploading a photo onto a template.

Know that I would not recommend a faux canvas print had I not bought one. See the image below. I created the deer print from a photograph I took with my phone. I then uploaded it to a template canvas print and it was easy to edit and create wall art for my home.

View this faux canvas print template here 

I was amazed at the finished product. The faux wrapped canvas print was not only the perfect size but it was also very easy to fold the edges to create the canvas look. I am very satisfied with my purchase as you can from the photo that it is quality made with colorful printing that is perfect.

All Over Printed Aprons for Everyone

Many people are spending more time at home and find that they are cooking meals, baking or they are doing crafts. Whatever you are doing you will find that an apron is a must.  

Cute plant lady pink and white apron for her

Normally I wear an apron when I garden because I do not want my clothes to get soiled but thanks to COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders I find that I am cooking more and need an apron to keep food stains from my clothing.

Zazzle came out with some all-over printed aprons that I really like. The aprons are made from polyester which means they will not wrinkle and after you launder them they will not need ironing. Your apron will look perfect (no wrinkles) at all times no matter what you are doing.

Small Bedroom Space Saver Tips

So many of the new homes have really small bedrooms. It seems that the master bedroom is a decent size but the other bedrooms seem to pay the price. Like many people, I have a decent size master bedroom but my other bedrooms are small. In order to make the bedroom appear larger, I needed to save some space.

Save space in a bedroom by buying a twin-sized bed with drawers located directly underneath This bed with drawers will eliminate the need for a chest of drawers. You can create a more spacious look in your bedroom with built-in bookshelves with cabinets instead of freestanding shelving.

Here is a room set that I did to show my customer how she could save space in her daughter's small bedroom. 

.Another way to save space is to buy a raised bed that has a built-in desk underneath. These raised beds look like bunk beds only there isn’t a lower bed. Kids seem to love this bed ensemble.

My niece had a really small bedroom so her Dad created a loft sleeping area for her. He then created a study area underneath the loft. By raising the bed to the loft area her bedroom was more spacious.

My sister saved space in her small bedroom by installing a Murphy Bed. When the bed is locked into the wall your room will look very spacious. My sister has her office in that room along with a potted palm tree and a comfy chair. When she needs the room for guests she will utilize the Murphy bed.

When shopping for furniture select a small frame bed and a nightstand as large furniture would make the room look less spacious.

Buy plastic storage containers and put a few on the top shelf of the closet for past-season clothing. This will free up space in the drawers and your clothes that are hanging will not look cramped.

Well, those are some ideas that I thought I would share with all of you on how to save space in a small bedroom.

Floral Tote Bags / My Zazzle Top Picks

When it comes to choosing my Zazzle top picks for tote bags I find that I prefer warm-season-styled bags. I also tend to shop for durable bags that can be used every day and for grocery shopping. I find these bags to be useful to my needs.

.

Warm-season tote bags can be used throughout the spring and summer seasons. I like floral prints because they are perfect for gift-giving and the florals are colorful and go with many outfits.

In the past, I have bought a few tote bags from Zazzle. The bags are all quality-made bags that are durable. You can use them every day or take the bag to the beach, or pool, or use them for shopping at the mall or grocery store.

I shopped at Zazzle.com and found some beautiful floral tote bags. All bags shown were created by independent designers. Each tote shown is bursting with colorful flower blooms and the bags feature a unique design. Know that when you buy a tote bag at Zazzle that each tote bag is printed when you order it, not mass-produced like shops do at the mall.

The tote bags come in a variety of sizes so you can choose the right size for your needs. A larger size will hold your laptop, tablet, groceries, and more. A small bag is perfect for your everyday things, cosmetics bag, phone, tablet, and wallet.

Here are a few of my favorite tote bags. It may be difficult to choose just one so buy one for yourself and another for your daughter or your friend. Tote bags that can be used every day for miscellaneous things can also be used for shopping or for traveling.

This purple bearded iris tote bag is a great carry-all for books, groceries, or garden supplies.
