Freedom, by design | 13 examples of Americana heritage in the home

June 29, 2012

Are you feeling patriotic?

How about a little red, white and blue for this upcoming 4th of July!

Nothing makes me feel more patriotic than seeing interiors that have been decorated with artifacts related to the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States. 

All that's needed to make your home pop with patriotism are some white mouldings, beadboard, vivid colorful accents, a few flags, folk art, maybe a quilt or two, and -- of course -- you have to have a Windsor chair in there somewhere. 

Design by Americana... It's lovely, fresh, summery and soooo incredibly appealing.
