Happy Memorial Day a day late. The unofficial start of summer is here. I spent part of the holiday weekend adding red, white and blue outside around the house and barn. Let me show you around.

The front patio is pretty much the same as last year with the addition of the buntings.

Flags always adorn the ferns. That’s a given.

Lots of green with a little red, white and blue.

I should have spray painted the front door urn this spring but never did. I think we’re going with the rustic look this year.

The porch in all it’s patriotic glory.

Went back with last year’s faux geraniums again. They look pretty darn real to me and add a little color to all the green.

Memorial Day, Flag Day & Independence Day. I’m all set!

I moved most of my house plants to the front porch again this summer. They love it outside.

Around the corner is the potting bench.

The same summer setup with a few stars and stripes added in.

The new corten steel planters have fully rusted and the summer flowers are draping over the edge. I tucked two faux geraniums in here, too.

It’s time to fill the pool on the back deck. I’m certain it will be put to good use when the 4th of July rolls around.

The faux grasses from the spring urns have moved to the back deck fence planters along with more faux geraniums and American flags.

Couldn’t leave out the barn.

It’s decorated the same as the house with buntings, flags, faux ferns and faux geraniums.

It’s nice to have the seating at the barn, too. We actually use it quite a bit. I love to have outdoor seating areas all around the yard.

We used screw-in hooks with a clasp to keep the buntings secure in the wind (link below).

And that completes the tour of our red, white and blue outdoor decor. I hope you enjoyed the tour as much as I enjoy looking at it each time we drive by.
