Independence Day China Cabinet
Hi everyone! I thought I’d show you my living room china cabinet decorated for the 4th of July. I didn’t want to do too much as next week I’ll take out the holiday decorations and then just leave it as it is until fall.
I got this patriotic planter at the thriftstore last year and filled it with some faux flowers in my favorite yellow/red combo. It’s hanging on the cabinet door which I usually keep open.
I brought out my favorite patriotic plates!
Next is the second shelf.
Last is the bottom shelf with a variety of things including my toile tin star (I decopauged it many years ago) and a rooster that's ready to celebrate!
I hope you all have a great holiday weekend!
I will be back on Monday with the July Book Giveaway!

I could seriously leave up any and all of these things all summer. I love this!

If you hear a noise in the night don't come looking, it will just be me raiding your china cabinet. Lol! Happy 4th friend:>)

PS Come by and check out my new haircut and weight loss photos.
I got brave for a change and posted them!
You have such pretty and fun dishes! I just love all the red but then thats my favorite color!
Very nice! I love the red, white and blue color scheme that your flag gives you. Ours is just red and white and never seems real exciting. Silly me, I know.
You have everything done up so nice and pretty!
Hugs, cindy s
Everything is so festive! I always get inspired by your wonderful decor. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
By the way, I also have that hanging basket. It is from the Southern Living at Home line of Home Decor products. I got it at the end of the season clearance for only $5 and I love putting it out in for the summer.
Have a great long weekend!
This is just beautiful! I adore your dishes...do they have a pattern name? All of your special touches make your cabinet perfect for this special holiday!
Wonderful!
Enjoy!

Manuela, could you please tell me the name of the pattern for those plates with flags and roses?
Your arrangements are beautiful.
Truly adorable! Wherever did you find that polka dot flatware? Darling!! Mimi

I absolutely adore this arrangement. I think it's one of my all time favorites. Wonderful job, Manuela. (Another blogger said she found those rose/flag plates at Tues. Morning. I may have to peek in there. Who cares if it's after the 4th?)
Thank you Manuela! ;)
