Red, White and Blue Living Room

Summer is almost here! 

Dressing my old window gallery with the colors of the American flag would be a great welcome to the warm days ahead, especially to celebrate Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

I took a small break from working on the guest room to give the living room a quick makeover. I loved how it looked all dressed for Spring with lots of green and yellow. You can see it right HERE, but I wanted to give it another look for Summer.

The great thing is...  It was super easy!

As usual, the main focus in this room is the old windows, they are a gigantic display.
This time I gave them the look of an American flag using burlap ribbons.

*This is NOT a flag, it's not intended to be a flag, it is only a patriotic art project that resembles the flag*

The materials you'll need: (affiliate links)

• 1 big spool of natural color burlap ribbon
• 2 big spools of red burlap ribbon
• 2 big spools of blue with stars burlap ribbon
• scissors
• tape

The instructions are simple: Cut the burlap to fit the old windows and attach it with tape.

That's it!

At first, I thought I only needed one spool of red, but nope. One more extra roll was needed. The natural-colored burlap was longer than red or blue. 

This is how it looked mid-way.

Up close, this is how they look on the windows.

Once the windows were ready, it was time to bring some more flair to the room. My vintage watering can was perfect for holding some white flowers.

New napkin pillows were placed on the sofa...

And the room was totally changed!
