Stars & Stripes?

Well, summer is officially in full swing! July 4th being a day away I'm feeling a bit inspired by the stars and stripes today! So I decided to get the creative juices flowing with a quick little inspiration board exercise. Not sure about you, but I'm not one for a blatantly obvious theme when I'm designing. I don't like to take things to literally when it comes to interiors, a little humor always helps.  So I hit my Pintrest boards and started pulling whatever grabbed my eye, keeping our great country in mined. All the while I had 'America, Why I Love Her' by John Wayne playing in the back of my mind. Funny how that works. Did some quick editing,  found a few new items to add the finishing touch, and voila! What do you think? Fireworks? Have a happy and safe 4th!
