Celebrating the 4th in style!

This is a guest post I did for my good friends over at Bae - a fab home decor boutique in SF. Visit their blog at Bae Home & Design


You don’t need to clear out your local Hobby Lobby of everything with a star or a stripe this month to give your home or 4th of July celebration a patriotic sparkle, you can show your pride this Independence Day in a less is more approach with style, sophistication, and a little bit of fun.

The opening of The Pledge of Allegiance in a bold modern graphic print is a great way to show some spirit.

What is more decadent than cheesecake? Individual jar servings make it special, strawberries and blueberries make it festive.

Show up to the cookout in this chic and pretty sweetheart dress.

Available at Anthropologie.

Bae's SkLo float vessels would look great anywhere in your home or party. Cluster a grouping of them around some candles to create a colorful glow. See more

 

This patriotic throw pillow is so cute you can use it year round.

You can also decorate with your own accessories. Group together any red, white, and blue items you already have around your home to get that patriotic feel.

Bright and beautiful serving pieces

Now that summer is in full swing, there seems to be a cookout every weekend. Don't go for drab and flimsy plastic and paper items (which will end up in a landfill too!). Imagine instead serving up salad and other goodies with these really unique utensils from Chiasso. Each piece is different, and the patterns and colors are so fun!



These melamine bowls have the perfect palette, and the contrasting interior is a great touch, $58 for the set of 3



I wish more stuff came with patterns like these...I love them! $18 for a set of 2



This set of utensils also features bright, electric solid colors. Set (7 pieces) $32
