Memorial Day and 4th of July Decorating And Entertaining Ideas

 
Memorial Day... Honoring the fallen men and women who have served in the American Military.
 
Show off your patriotism with festive red, white, and blue decor and festive foods to entertain your guests!
 
 
 
 
 
Waving American Flags: Add a few tiny flags to the pots and containers of flowers throughout your landscape.
 
 
 
 
 
Let a few lawn stars brighten up your celebration. Paint them alongside a walkway or around your picnic table.

Go all out and decorate the interior. Dress your furniture in this Americana style with a slipcover and pillows in the red, white and blue theme.

Will there be a BBQ at your house this year? Here are some unique ideas for the grill...
