Independence Day

I think Independence Day has become one of my favorite holidays, just since buying this house!  

The house was built in either 1760 or 1790 (we're still researching that).
I love thinking about what it must have been like when both this house & this country were new!  

I love working elements that are reminiscent of that era into our decor... 

The little iron George Washington statue & the framed flag embroidery are now sitting on the radiator cover in the foyer.  I also added a reproduction lantern that my sister-in-law gave us last Christmas.

On the other side of the foyer, I put some flags into a commemorative mason jar, paired with a framed "America" print...

It's hard to see here, but there's the Liberty Bell on the front,
along with the dates 1776 at the top, and 1976 at the bottom.

Outside the front door, we still have our historically correct flag flying on the front porch!

Happy Independence Day!
