It’s a bit quirky, not at all elaborate, and doesn’t scream the 4th of July, but the sofa table behind my patriotic sofa is
trying to blend some of the elements throughout the room
to tie it all together.
Since the coffee table is having a
shell convention, I used a couple of shells
and starfish.
There are always books stacked around, so I used these beauties purchased from Angie at
Knick of Time. Love them!
What is this twisty thing? At one time this item was in the Wisteria catalog and was also featured on a mantel in Veranda, though I cannot find the issue. ( It was about $500). Mine was purchased at the Warrington-Round Top show for a small percentage of the original price.
It is made from a type of seaweed harvested in the Philippines.
It is dried, twisted into shapes and baked.
This one is mounted on a stand.
The vintage grain sack is a beauty! It is in perfect condition and seems to be a type of vintage woven linen. The tag that came with it says “found in Hungary circa 1920". A little patriotic flag banner was added .
A large blue transferware pitcher , a vintage crock with blue print that I’ve owned for years, and a tall candlestick complete the vignette.
The large fern in a pedestal urn sitting on the floor gives it balance.
I shopped the house for everything.
Wishing everyone a wonderful July and a festive
Independence Day.

I love "shopping my house" it is amazing what u can come up with. Love the grain sack.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great vignette! Love the grain sack and flag banner. I think adding the blue and white and red in any combo is perfect! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Honey! You're right. The fern brings it all together so nicely.

It all looks beautiful, Honey! I really love that grain sack you used as a runner and those old books you got from me look so beautiful in your home. I love when I get a chance to see how something I sold looks in someone else's home! That banner is adorable too. My house is too much of a disaster with the kitchen remodel to even bother decorating for the 4th, so I enjoy seeing everyone else's posts.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Angie @ Knick of Time
Hello Honey,
ReplyDeleteI like your table behind the sofa. Everyone is decorating with beautiful shells and natural elements this summer it seems. Is that a quilt on the sofa. I love the look of it. Have a great 4th of July again.
