Celebrate the 4th of July with these red, white, and blue patriotic outdoor decor items for your front door and yard!


Here’s the thing – the 4th of July has changed a bit for us ever since we got Hunter.  We used to head to a local park for their fireworks show or just enjoy the amateur, neighborhood displays from our back deck.  But Hunter has anxiety about fireworks and all things that go “boom,” thunderstorms included (and yes, we’ve tried pet anxiety products).

Nowadays, 4th of July evening is spent indoors when the fireworks start.  We head to the bedroom with the door closed, the A/C on, and the radio blasting.  However, I still enjoy sneaking out of the bedroom to watch fireworks light up the summer sky while my husband keeps Hunter company.  

Even though some of our 4th of July evening traditions have changed, I can still make our front porch and yard “sparkle” with patriotic decorations!  I’ll probably put our patriotic decor out this weekend.  I have a classic Americana style wreath for our front door and some fireworks garden stakes to put around the yard. 

Do you decorate your yard for the 4th of July?

 
We keep it pretty simple, but traditional for the 4th of July.  But after browsing Amazon, I’ll be adding some slightly more modern decorations to our front yard this year! 

I love switching up our doormat for holidays and seasons.  So I ordered the Home of the Free Doormat for our front door and have my eye on a couple other items, as well.  I also added a throw blanket to the list that would look cute on outdoor furniture or could be taken with you to watch fireworks!

Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Decor

Get the timeless look of Pottery Barn for less with these budget-friendly Pottery Barn inspired Easter decor items for almost every room of your home!


When my husband and I moved in together, I knew that I wanted a lot of our decor to look like it came straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog.  I love Pottery Barn, but I don’t always love the price tags attached to a lot of their items.  Thankfully, I was able to find Pottery Barn inspired decor to work into our home without the Pottery Barn prices!

The same goes with holiday decorations.  I take a lot of inspiration from the Pottery Barn website and try to find ways to get the same look for less.  With Easter on its way, I wanted a natural, semi-vintage inspired, Pottery Barn-esque look.  I was able to achieve that look with inexpensive finds from unlikely places like craft stores and Amazon!

We have a pretty bunny print tablecloth on our dining room table and a cute bunny bowl that sits in the center of it.  I’ve filled our hutch with a vintage floral platter (a great Etsy find), moss rabbits, and spring florals.  On the front of the hutch, I have a grapevine wreath with speckled eggs and feathers hung.  There’s a bunny shaped wreath on our front door to welcome spring and the Easter season. 

It’s simple, but classic Easter and springtime decor with a definite Pottery Barn feel – just like many of these items that I found on Amazon!

  2. Bunny Cake Stand
  3. Lighted Twig Easter Bunny Silhouette Hanging Wreath
  4. Botanical Fresh 100% Cotton Tablecloth

Get Cozy with Boho Inspired Decor for Valentine’s Day

Feel the love with boho inspired decor for Valentine’s Day!  Make your house warm and cozy with candles, blankets, lighting, and more!


Snuggle up, buttercups, because it’s the season of love!  And if one thing’s for sure, it’s that I love changing up our decor as the seasons change.  With Valentine’s Day coming up, you’re sure to find hints of pink, purple, and red throughout our house.  Actually, I’ve kind of made purple a permanent decor staple in our living room.  But for Valentine’s Day, it totally works! 

When it comes to home decor trends, these days it seems like people are on one of two sides – farmhouse or boho chic.  I used to think our house could rock the farmhouse look, but let’s be real – we’re from New Jersey.  Sure, it’s the Garden State, but we live in city setting.  It doesn’t really work for us.  Our home doesn’t really have a theme, but there’s a definite boho vibe all throughout it (hello, crystals, plants everywhere, and natural textures and materials).


 
I love creating a cozy ambiance with candles and having warm throw blankets over all the couches for snuggling. You can add some major boho vibes to your home this Valentine’s Day with these items from Amazon!  In fact, most of them could probably stay out beyond the holiday!

Get Cozy with Boho Inspired Decor for Valentine’s Day
  1. Let’s Get Cozy Candle
  2. Blooming Flower Wreath
  3. Love You Llots Llama Throw Pillow
  4. Love Her But Leave Her Wild Art Print

National Taco Day is this Thursday!  But let’s be real – Taco Tuesday is totally a weekly celebration in our house.  Still, tacos definitely deserve a national holiday all their own!  I mean, what’s not to love about a handheld food that’s so much fun to eat?  Especially when there are so many different combos you can make!  There’s a reason why we’re all so completely obsessed with them!
