Coastal Living feature this awe-inspiring red, white and blue themed kitchen with country flair.

This cool red and white bedroom. So sweet. From 8rd.

Pottery Barn living room features red leather chairs and white sofa with blue and white throws and pillows. Blue and white chain rug. Great patriotic elements.

Cozy and comfy, a red, white and blue patriotic themed study. Love the plaid chair and pillow. Found at Your Decorating Hotline.

And don’t forget….

Annin American flags! Annin is the world’s largest and oldest (over 160 years) flag company in the world and what’s more…they’re made in the USA! They come in all sizes. Check your local stores and ask if they carry Annin flags! A lot do. I simply refuse to buy a flag that’s made in China.

Sage Decor

Relaxing, inviting, calming, soothing, peaceful…these are just few of the words that come to mind when I consider the color of sage in decor. Pure is another term. Adding this always stylish color to your walls, furniture, or accessories will enhance any apartment space. It is a color good for both large and small rooms. And, as you can see above, other colors compliment easily with it. Image from Decor8 Blog.

Inside Celebrity Homes…and closets!

Curiosity abounds when seeking out celebrity finds, and what more informative and inspiring way to get to know the inner life of someone than a peak into their closet?  But with this article for Elle Decor, we’ve found some wonderful ideas for an apartment closet (if you’re lucky enough to have one…and a walk-in no less!) of any size. Also, I’ve know women to convert an extra room into a closet…so think outside the box…or the closet in this case.

Nanette Lapore’s fashionably glam closet in her Manhattan townhouse is more like a room one could live in than a closet. With crystal chandelier and a plush ottoman, I bet this fashion designer has a hard time leaving. Rug: ABC Carpet & Home.
