4th of JULY HOME DECOR - Patriotic Decor

[@tracy_222]

You need a step stool👍🏻 I would have put the red picture on the shelf,. Love the red and White House’s. Every thing looks so cute. Love the patriotic colors.👍🏻🇺🇸🌟

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

You know what’s funny about it? I have two step stools and was too in-the-moment to go find one. 😁 The red picture would look good on the shelf! This is reminding me that it’s home to decorate the shelves for this year’s 4th of July. Time is getting away from me. 🇺🇸

[@RebeccaRohrHome]

I love patriotic decor, it just doesn’t last long enough. Your shelves turned out adorable.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Me, too! I know what you mean about it not lasting long enough. I almost didn't put it up at all. I'm glad I did now. It just seems to cheerful! It's so wonderful to see you Rebecca. It always means a lot to me that you remember who I am. :-)

Hello Roxanne, I love decorating for the different holidays. Your shelves are so festive. I have similar blue dishes and enjoyed seeing yours displayed so nicely among your other red, white and blue decor. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing❤️🤍💙😊

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Hi Annalee! Thanks so much for being here and watching. I’m so glad you liked everything. Do you have a complete set of blue and white? That’s my dream. Right now, all I have are the plates. I love them! Hope you have a great day!

[@FilizSanal]

My dear friend Rozanne, I loved the arrangement you made, I loved it. I also love everything that is blue. We have always furnished our summer house in blue and white, it always gives me peace. The reds you put on were a very good idea for me too. It is very good for me to watch you. You are in my prayers, dear My friend.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

I really appreciate prayers. They are the very best thing. How wonderful to have a summer house. I bet the blue and white is so pretty!

[@mslollypop2298]

Your dining room turned out great with all the red, white and blue deco. Good job.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks Elizabeth!! I really appreciate you watching and is so great to hear from you. 😀

[@juliafeliciano5372]

You decorated very beautiful for the 4th of July ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks! I’m glad I went ahead and did it. I almost didn’t this year. 😀

[@melissaLrand]

Love your patriotic decor Rozanne! So cute! You did a great job on the shelves, they turned out perfect! You all have a full house like we do! I love it 😊 TFS my friend ❤

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks Melissa! I'm having such fun decorating those shelves. It's taken the pressure off to do all of the house, which is just what I need these days. Yes - we do have full houses! It can be a lot sometimes but I wouldn't trade it. See you soon!

[@taniellis8595]

Beautiful job and u have a absolutely beautiful home. Love your videos.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Hi Tani! So wonderful to hear from you this morning! I’m so glad to have you here. It always makes me smile to see your name. Hope you have a great afternoon.

[@margoslifenow4557]

Hi Rozanne, love how you decorated the shelves. The blue and white plates are so pretty. The little red houses are so cute. I love how you decorated your table. It looks adorable. Enjoyed the video. ❤🤍💙

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks so much Margo! I adore those red houses and use them more than I thought. I wish I had loads of blue and white dishes. I’m so glad to see you today!

[@tracy_222]

Every thing looks great👍🏻🇺🇸

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks Tracy!!

[@donnadelany1797]

Hey Rozanne! I love what you did with the shelves!! And, when you said "scathingly brilliant idea", I said to myself, no way!! That is one of my fav movies too! I hadn't heard that line in so many years! Thanks for the giggle! Have a blessed 4th and thanks so much for sharing your beautiful shelf decor with us! 🙂

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Hi Donn! Well, isn’t that cool? I really love that movie. I’ve seen all of them in the series, but that is my favorite and I say scathingly brilliant all the time. Problem is, most people have no idea where I got it. Ha! Hope you have a great 4th too!

[@RamonaStrait]

Enjoyed watching your process, and loved that you “shopped” your own home to have everything you needed to make beautiful displays!!

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks! I'm trying to do more of that these days. I occasionally buy a thing or two, but it's more purposeful. I used to just throw things in the cart and spend too much money. I'm starting to think that the creativity required to make something new out of what I already have is more fun. It's wonderful to hear from you!

[@jenniferjanes1589]

Wow, you have a full house. Are you sure you’re retired? I love your videos. It’s nice to see a video that relates to women our age. Thank you.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

😂 yeah, retired seems like a funny word because I am certainly not lounging around or going on vacations. But I don’t have to go to “work” now. Long Covid forced me to retire early. (Not much. I’m 65.) It is sooo good to have you here. I’m really hoping that I can meet more people in our age group! Thanks for saying hi.

[@UniquelyLesa]

Beautifully done! I love the blue plates. I was so afraid you were about to fall in the very beginning. 😬 That would've been me.😅 I always enjoy watching and hearing what you have to share. Have a good night. XO ❤️

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

I was afraid I’d fall too. It would be just like me. So glad to have you here!

[@kathywestmorelandfox7285]

You could add some height to the white houses by attaching a wood spindle pedestal to the bottom of each house.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

That's a great idea, Kathy! I'll have to see if I can remember to do that next time I want to use all of them on the shelves. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. Thanks so much!

[@KymAtHome]

Hola. Hello to ur beautiful granddaughter. I love that ur using a lot of decor u already have. Snoopy is too cute. I always buy Peanuts decorative towels from HomeGoods. The cakes stands are super convenient. Beautiful flowers. Thank u for bringing the realness. It can take awhile to decorate. Sorry, the herbs didn't work out. TFS u did a great job. Everything looks lovely. Have an amazing week

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

I feel better about using my same old decor too. I have bought a few things, but I'm thinking it through instead of just buying whatever I see. Now it's like... oh I've used all of my yellow flowers. I guess i'll get a couple. I used to just wander the store and throw things in the basket. Not smart. It really does take awhile, doesn't it? I'm enjoying the colors. It's a fun change. See you soon!

[@TheCuratedHome]

Love your idea for future videos! We need more positive talk! Love the decorating, beautiful patriotic theme through color! ❤

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks JoAnn! I wondered if you've seen that I've already released a couple of those? People seem to like them which makes me happy. Another one is coming out today. I can't hold a candlestick to you in decorating, but I'm glad you like it!

[@carleeburton6382]

Your decorating for the 4th of July looks awesome! It's quite the process trying to decide sometimes. You did great. You are very creative in the way you use the items together!❤

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks! I is a process, for sure. Sometimes, I feel like I've backed myself into a corner and am so relieved when it turns out okay in the end. I'm so glad you like it!

[@nancyhirst9152]

It looks so cute…love it…have a blessed day💗💗💗

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks! I’m glad you like it. Have a great week!!

[@cherrygrovefarmhouse]

Love the blue dishes! Your shelves turned out great😊

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thank! I love them too. I’ve always wanted some. I’m hoping that I’ll stumble in the rest of the set someday. Hope you’re doing well these days!

[@mackenzie5716]

Everything looks great! I was hoping you were going to put the little flag in your flower centerpiece. I usually only decorate for Christmas and sometimes Halloween but it's fun to see how others decorate their homes for seasons/holidays! Have a great rest of your week!! 😊

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks so much! I’m really glad to hear from you and happy you enjoyed it. I hope you have a great week too! 😀😀

[@Mythriftedhome214]

I love this! What a great way to decorate for the 4th of July. I never know how to decorate for the 4th!

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks! We put up those shelves in December and they are so fun. I don’t decorate the rest of my house as much as I used to now that I can have a little fun here.

[@heart_towards_home]

Hi Rozanne! Beautiful job decorating your floating shelves. I've always loved those blue willow plates and the red houses from Christmas worked perfectly. Great deal on the thrifted tea holder for 75 cents. And your star garland and centerpiece are just right for the 4th. Have a lovely weekend 😊

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Hi friend. I’m hoping you’re feeling better and that your voice is recovering. I keep thinking about you. Blue willow is so beautiful. Maybe someday I’ll end up with a complete set. Look forward to seeing you again!

[@heart_towards_home]

@RozannePaxmansHome not sure if I have some Long Covid or what. I feel like my sore throat may be long haul. 😩 thanks for thinking of me

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Oh my… I’ll be praying for you. Long Covid is no joke.

[@abbystephen]

I’ve never thought to use that zig zag method - I will definitely need to try that! Thank you! ❤ I loved how everything turned out (:

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you!

[@darlenemullins]

Looks so pretty ❤🇺🇸

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Thanks!!

[@colleenlimbacher3360]

Really enjoyed your video; loved your honest about the struggle to get it right I know I do. It all looks good.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

Hi Colleen! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. This is the direction I’m going to go in my decorating videos from now on. I’m not an expert, but I have fun and most of the fun is trying to get it to work. Sometimes, it works out better than others. 😀 Have a great day!

[@laurat7324]

I enjoyed seeing the trial and error as you found the perfect spot for each item. Everything looks great! Glad you didn't fall off the chair in the beginning of the video. I am working on getting my shelves decorated that we FINALLY got hung up. I need to go to Hobby Lobby in the morning and see what I can find. I have 2 items on each shelf and I need one more thing to complete them.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

What fun you’ll have at Hobby Lobby! I hope you find just the right things!

[@debanderson9797]

New here to your channel, the shelves look really nice, what about a small lamp for the table, unless there is no outlet to plug it in.

[@TowardsASimpleLife]

That’s a great idea. I love it. I think there is a plug. I’ll have to check. Maybe I can find something at a thrift store and have fun revamping it. Thanks!
