Red, White and Blue Decorating Ideas For Summer

It’s Summer Home Tour Day and I could not be more excited! I have made a few changes around our home that I have been dying to share with you all. Just be prepared because I took A LOT of pictures. (Sorry…not sorry!) I am excited to share with you all some red, white, and blue decorating ideas for summer. So grab something yummy to drink, find a cozy spot and come on in to our coastal cottage farmhouse!

Red, White and Blue Decorating Ideas For Summer

If you are new here, welcome! I’m Kelly and I live in a builder grade home in Colorado (not a farmhouse :)) where I am striving daily to be real, open and authentic with how I decorate my home. I’m a mom, step-mom and dog mom who is married to my best friend! In my spare time I teach kindergarten, hunt for finds at flea markets, garden, golf, and dream of living at the beach someday.

Honestly, I’m a hot mess who needs Jesus and coffee every day…maybe you can you relate?

Enough about me…let’s move on to the tour!

Today I will be showing you around our main level which includes our entryway, dining room, family room and a peek into our kitchen as well.  Along the way I will be sharing some red, white, and blue easy decorating ideas for summer. And many, many pictures!

So let’s get started!

Let’s Tour Our Entry

The pew that you see when when you enter our home is the namesake for my blog. After loving her for several years I recently gave her a weathered driftwood makeover and now I love her even more. We also did a fun tile makeover for her to sit on and it’s such a fun way to welcome guests to our home! 

My other pew lives on our front porch.

As you peek through this alcove you can start to see some touches of red, white, and blue decor.

Here is a better look at the makeover we did with the tiled doormat. Pretty fun, huh?!

Now lets make our way into the dining room.

Our Dining Room

As you enter our dining room you can’t help but notice this gorgeous hutch I scored from a local consignment shop. I always have fun restyling her. 

My husband actually scored her for me while I was away at a blogging conference. He is a keeper!

Do you remember this DIY blue hydrangea wreath? All I did was add some dollar store flags to it and ..boom! Instant patriotic summer decor! 

A few more flags in my All- American baseball dough bowl centerpiece… and I called it good for a splash of red, white, and blue here on my table! 

Shop Our Dining Room

As you leave our dining room you come to my no-sew recovered bench that holds all of our shoes currently. This it what it looks like at our house since we have a new puppy who likes to eat shoes. Those Vans are in trouble but at least my magazines are safe!

Let’s Tour The Family Room

Okay, we finally made it to the room I am most excited about!!!

If you follow me over on Instagram you know I have been hinting about some changes I have made in here recently. Well if you hadn’t already guessed I changed out my white IKEA curtains for these blue patterned linen curtains from Amazon! Two panels come in one pack for only $40!! Oh yes!

What do you think of them?

I’m in love with the colorful cottage vibe they give the room. I also traded out the dark brown rods I had for these brass ball rods from Target and the brass curtain rings! I wanted the Pottery Barn brass rods but they were out of my budget. So thankful that Target always has something in my budget. I ordered them on-line just like the curtains. 

Once I had my blue curtains I was able to add touches or red and white with art, quilts, baseballs, flowers, pillows, books and accessories! I love how these summer colors pop against my favorite boxwood dresser and vintage green shutters!

The best part is the only new things I bought for this summer tour were the curtains and curtain rods. Not too bad, eh?

Shop Our Family Room

I found this sign over on Instagram from Georgia Maes Vintage Market with this L. R. Knost quote and instantly knew I needed it. Seems very fitting for all that we have encountered so far in 2020.

I can’t get enough of how bright this room feels now. I seriously smile every time I come in. Such a big difference for such a little price. Yes please!

The dogs enjoy it as well. Our new cairn terrier puppy Zoey will sleep anywhere but she especially loves this room.

While our wheaten terrier Kona prefers our Pottery Barn sofa. Mostly to escape Zoey who can’t make it up on the sofa!

I floated some of my red knockout roses in this gorgeous blue and white bowl from Home Goods. You might remember it from when I shared my paper whites in it this past winter.

My lovely mother let me borrow the quilt you see under my wicker demijohns as well as the red and white quilt on our sofa. Their colorful vintage vibe  is just what this space needed.

Another view of our family room.

Finally…The Kitchen

The last stop on our summer home tour is our kitchen. Here is a peek back at it from the family room.I love the open concept we have between these two rooms.

I borrowed some aspen leaves from our yard for a fresh pop of green in another pretty blue and white jar.

Zoey was napping while I was taking pictures but always seemed to follow me and find a new spot right where I was each time. She adds some definite cuteness to my pictures!

Can you spot our new dog food zone?

Over on the table I had fun with setting a tray up with more red, white and blue summer decor that is actually useful! 

Shop Our Kitchen

And now for a final look back at our family room from our kitchen. Just because I still love the new look of the curtains so much!
