It’s a little late, but my to-do list is so long that I barely got my Fourth of July decor up this year! I don’t do much but decorate my doorstep for the Fourth, but this year I added a little bit of stars and stripes to my shelves as well.
Here is my door. One thing I love about my navy blue door is that it matches my July 4th decor. I knew I wanted a frame for my 4th of July door this year so I went into the attic and dug for a few minutes and found it. I bought this frame from the Southern Living Catalog several years ago. I don’t think they even sell their products anymore. Anyway, the frame actually housed a mirror. I had no where to put it in this house so it’s been sitting in my attic. But it was perfect for the door!
I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad
to give the frame an aged look. I simply brushed the ink pad lightly across the wood making sure to apply more pressure around the edges.

I found this ribbon at Michael’s and wove it in and out of the holes and tied it into a bow at the corner. The roll was just the right length.
The star has been hanging on my door for the past couple years. I wasn’t ready to ditch it quite yet so I hung it in front of the frame.
I bought this chair from a garage sale back in early May for five bucks. {from my new buddy Mike who I keep running into around town!}. I planned on re-finishing it, but realized it would be perfect as-is for the 4th! So I put away my {pretty} yellow chair for now. I also got the basket at a garage sale {I think the same day} for $2. My plan was to put some red verbena with white Bacopa, but I didn’t get around to it. 
So, I just stuck this pot in it. f

For my shelves: I printed this adorable printout from Landee See, Landee Do and framed it in my ever-changing thrift store frame. Below the frame is a banner from Michael’s.
I found this adorable scrapbook paper at Michael’s and mounted the printable onto it. I trimmed the edges of the paper to fit the frame.
Your porch and shelves look so pretty and pulled together. I found myself hauling my odds and ends out of the basement last night myself.
Have a wonderful Fourth!
cute!
Jen that red ladderback chair is perfect and such a steal, you are always finding the best garage sale treasures. Enjoy the holiday.

Happy 4th of July!
I absolutely love the wreath!
Looks great! Every detail fits right into place
Awesome porch! Your 4th of July door looks almost just like mine, except I don't have the cool frame! That's a cool idea to drill holes in a frame and weave ribbon through it
What an adorable porch! My daughter has that SLAH mirror, so now I know what to do with it when she's off to college in the fall! Love to repurpose things.

Your porch is great! I have that frame too, mine still has the mirror in it but I know what I will do if it ever breaks!
Thank you so much for linking up to my Red, White and Blue Linky Party!

Ohhh, I really like that square frame with the holes. You could change it up with different ribbon for various holidays too!
Hey jen, i didn't know my old chair was that cool. It found the perfect home. Everything looks great together. See you around town, Mike.
I have this same frame form Southern Living at Home from years ago!! I might just have to take the mirror out and hang it on my door too!!
Great idea!
