Do you all have a decor closet or cupboard or box? I have one cupboard in my laundry room devoted to smalls that I like to decorate with throughout the year. It has things like artificial flowers, jars, trays, different orbs (wire, croquet balls, seed balls, etc.), things to use for table runners, candles and candlesticks, and other things that are almost entirely from the thrift store or from garage sales. So when I picked up this great, vintage feedsack from the thrift store,
I knew I could go to my cupboard and put together a summery, fourth of July centerpiece in no time.
It took about ten minutes to hunt and gather. I started with a tray I had painted with Fusion Mineral Paint's Midnight. (affiliate link) I used the feedstack stripe stencil from Funky Junk's Old Sign Stencils (BUY HERE).
I have a bag of blocks that I use to spell out things for different holidays. It took a bit to find a U that was red or blue.
And old red book, a socket from the thrift store becomes a nice candle holder.
Some itty-bitty red boots from the thrift store with some fake flowers finished this patriotic centerpiece. Why cowboy boots for summer decor? Because Montana is all about summer rodeos, especially around the fourth.
Simple. Inexpensive. Unique.
Tune in tomorrow for more EASY PEASY thrift store summer decor.
Love the little red boots:)
