Hello my friends,
I know what you're thinking. . .pink is not a patriotic color. Normally, I would agree with you, but somehow; it works!
When it came time to pull out my patriotic décor I wondered what I would do in our living room.
You might remember that I painted the floor white and added a pink rug.
While working on my friends Aunt Bunnies estate I came across this fun U.S. Navy pillow.
Notice how there are touches of pink in the corners?
That got me thinking, that pink might just work.
Then I remembered this small quilt I made quite a few years ago.
Perfect for tying in a little more pink!
Isn't it funny how one thing leads to another? Then I noticed that the quilt top that I had draped in my chippy laundry basket had bits of pink as well.
So I added some pink books to my Independence vignette.
This display is my ode to the signing of the Declaration.
I bought the parchment documents in Charleston while vacationing there 9 years ago.
So, what do you think, does pink seem just a little bit more patriotic? :)
hugs,
I will be sharing with these fun parties:

You are right, it works! I love your military souvenier pillow...my mom had several of these from my brothers who were in the USAF and they graced the back of our couch as well! Happy July 4th!
I think it works beautifully, Jann. I like it very much!
I absolutely love all of your great stuff for decorating. You must have a warehouse filled with seasonal things. You're always coming up with something new.
Happy 4th of July!

Jann, Funny you never noticed all your pink touches before the Navy pillow. I like it. You sure have a great decorating touch. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Being that pink is my favorite color, I think it belongs in all holiday decorations! You've done it perfectly!
Jann, I think this looks wonderful. I really like the pillow and the Declaration decor.

PERFECT!!!!
Pink goes well with patriotic colors. Happy 4th of July!
Of course pinks works, after all add a little white to red and what do you get?? =) Though, not just anyone could make it work. You, lovely Jann, as always have come up with the most delightful of vignettes. LURVE your US Navy cushion!!
This is all so super cute! I am hosting a patriotic link party beginning on Saturday and I would love for you to come over and link away your fun patriotic decor. I am pinning several images from this post to my patriotic decor board. LOVE THIS POST!
Pink totally works. How cute.
