Patriotic Interior Design

Happy Fourth of July! As many of us are celebrating today I thought it might be nice to take a look at some individuals that bring their patriotism home. Using red, white and blue is not always easy, nor is mixing stars and stripes with the rest of your decor. However, here are a few tasteful examples that employ just the right amount of color and pattern to create the holiday vibe without interrupting your personal style.

Dr.Suess-Inspired Rooms

When looking up events on my calendar for this month I stumbled upon Dr. Seuss' birthday today. Yes, believe it or not celebrating Dr. Seuss's life is considered an important event this month. He had an incredible impact on children's literature and has 16 of his books on Publishers Weekly's top 100 list for best selling children's books of all time. In fact, in honor of Seuss's literary legacy, today has been adopted as National Read Across America Day by the National Education Society. Paying tribute, I've put together an homage to the art of Seuss. Each of these interiors, I believe, reflect an aspect of his books and the colorful whimsy that each contained.
