My Patriotic Gameroom


Got way too busy cooking, eating, visiting, eating, watching fireworks on tv (how sad ~ but our local fireworks show was cancelled due to all the rain & flooding we are having), to post last night before bedtime, so here are the pictures of my gameroom walls that I promised. These decorations stay out all year round, as my colors in this room are red, white & blue.

This old window frame was sitting in a dumpster behind my husband's business, so he rescued it for me. I had a mirror placed behind it where the panes of glass were originally & just love it in all its chippy glory.
I found this flag canoe a couple of years ago at either Michael's or Hobby Lobby, can't remember which. The flag box is actually a miniature Lane's cedar chest.We have an inset at the edge of our gameroom ceiling, so I decorate it in Americana items. Flags, stars, & even a few of my Coke memorabilia.
~ More flags & cross-stitch ~

~ Stars and a Reverse Ink on Glass Picture I did of a Barn and Windmill ~
~ A favorite Patriotic piece ~
Since most of my pics today have been more chippy, weathered, and primitive, I decided I should leave you with a little of my favorite "bling"! These are some pretty red white and blue brooches, & my Dorothy Bauer Flag pin.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

If any of you girls have any interest or collections of GONE WITH THE WIND memorabilia, let me know. I'm getting ready to share some of my GWTW items with you & would love for others to join in, too! I thought we would do it kind of like we did "Wedding Week" & each post a few of our favorites.
Hugs,
Stephanie

Stephanie, I love that window your sweet husband rescued for you! Old windows are one of my favorite things to decorate with. I have a big old window with a shelf on hte top in my entry and love it! Chad would LOVE the flag boat shelf!!! I will have to show that to him! It is so neat, and eveything on the shelf and walls are so cute! I just adore your home.

I love your year round red white & blue. I have a little patriot display set up on one table and wall of my living room.

I'm anxious to see your GWTW collection. I don't have any myself, but of course, GWTW is one of my all time favorite movies and books
