Inspiration : 4th Of July decor!

4th of July is coming soon. The long weekend means having friends over, waiting for the parade and staying up night to watch the fireworks. The day is special and there are a lot of ideas and crafty stuff floating around. Hosting a picnic or a barbecue, having loved ones over, give them a surprise and do something special. There are lots of ideas here which are easy and fun!

The colors for the day are Blue and Red. Most of the ideas here are from Martha Stewart's. Check out some really cool holiday ideas at her site. The simple flags, buntings and paper lanterns are easy crafty for kids and you. Get into the spirit of the occasion and decorate the frills and flags.

Super cute red & blue garland for July 4th. Folded fans put up as bunting to ring in the festive air.


 Such an inviting gazebo decorated for the July 4th celebration.  Imagine spending summer afternoon here and then watching the fireworks at night. I love it!


 Excited kids waiting for the Independence day celebration? Imagine how cool this would look! Picture your kids squealing with delight yet :)


 Super easy and pretty stars fluttering in the wind. How cute is that! check out Martha Stewart for instructions.


 Paper lanterns on a garland. Pretty decoration to hang over the garden for a festive look. Super darling!


 Really darling holiday wreath. Fold lots of paper stars and pinning them together on a round base.


Yummy treats on a hot summer afternoon. Beautiful tricolor Popsicle for the special July 4th holiday.


 Blue and red prevail!! The fans are functional as well as decorative. Try it as a fun party favor.


Another good idea for table setting. Recycle and reuse. Fold a pretty cap/crown and decorate with red and blue :-)


 Fireworks in the night on 4th oh July is known. How about fireworks on the lunch table too! Pretty cool huh?


 Table setting for the occasion. Simple stars theme with blue and red details. Super pretty 4th of July.


 Easy peasy impressive centerpieces. Colored sand in wine glasses make super stylish votive holders. Love!


 Drinks so inviting after a day out watching parade or spending time barbecuing outside. Love the sparkling colors!!


 July 4th, beautiful picnic inspiration. Red, blue, and the beautiful setting. Awesome idea for day out.

Wicker and rattan outdoor furniture -Summer Special!

Wicker is an awesome choice for outdoor furniture. Summer is the time for poolside parties, and lounging in the sun as well. Make yourself comfortable and keep your patio looking super cool and stylish!

Wicker furniture come in beautiful colors and are both modern and sophisticated, with beautiful clean lines. They are so sturdy and are a great addition to your patio or pool side. The innovative designs are not just functional, they are aesthetically pleasing. The lovely natural color, white or even colored add elegance to any space.They are durable, inexpensive as well as easy to maintain. These are my favourite when it comes to outdoor furniture.

The decor here is so inspiring! the earthiness and simplicity of color is so attractive. Love the open feel and just how great the space looks with beautiful wicker furniture. Super elegant!


Love the innovative love seat. If you love spending time outdoors, this canopy seat is just perfect! The canopy can be folded or be lifted for some extra shade. The piece is just so interesting.


I feel wicker and rattan should not be painted, their natural color make for such beautiful addition to their over all design. The weaves and color of the wicker pendant lamps are so charming. Its boho chic and country style elegant.


Got to love the versatility of these ottoman style wicker pods. Extra seating when you have company or relax with your legs up on a quite summer evening. The pure basic best :)


This is such an absolute stunner! Love the lightweight, easy to move, bar table by the pool. Perfect for showing off your skills by the pool side. The bar stool are so dainty and fun!


If the designs above were too simple for you, this design will surely impress. The spacious, luxurious seating for outdoors. Big on style, love the beautiful petal like caning detail. Stylish!


The weave of this chair looks so beautiful. The extra thick cushion is so inviting. The simple colors and pretty summer skies! If you are looking for some simple yet sophisticated furniture, this is for you.


Wicker furniture is such a great option for outdoors. They add to the elegance and sophistication without being too costly.  Easy to move and super easy to paint (hint : Spray paint for an easy makeover) they can be the best choice for your home and garden.
