As I have been adding vintage finds and décor pieces to my porches and garden areas, I realized a theme happening with all the new things....RED! No matter where I am decorating or the existing color scheme, it seems I am drawn to put touches of red here and there.
On my sage green and aqua front porch I balanced the chippy red, white and blue heart on the wire flower cart to add some patriotic décor.
I style my (beloved) wood plant stand every year with lanterns, antique pots and jugs. This year I added my wooden flag and God Bless America sign.
I found the ox harness at a yard sale and it just happened to be painted red. I had to have it, although I had no idea what I would do with it. Then I remembered seeing one at a barn sale with plants hanging on the ends. It is quite unique.
My faux red succulent pops in the black Bokar Coffee can and the EXIT sign adds color to this little vignette.
My side porch is tones of sage green so this pop of red geraniums is just right.
In my garden the red Bee Balm are blooming.....
The red Verbena are blooming...
And the garden art flower stake I won from Tuula at Thrifty Rebel Vintage last year, is blooming.
I was so undecided as to whether or not to paint my first DIY toadstool that I decided to wait and see if I could find another wooden bowl to make one to paint. I recently found one at Goodwill and went to work painting two coats of chalk paint, adding white polka dots and two coats of polyurethane. Now I have two!
It sits in front of my red enamel chairs and red vintage plate.
I planted fifteen Zinnia plants this year....of course there are red!
Happy Fourth of July!
Enjoy the RED, white and blue!
