4thof July displays on lawns, front porches and entryways are a great way to extend your spirit and share your celebration of this patriotic holiday!   It’s a bit like Christmas, just not so many lights!

A trio of topiaries that are part of the 5 classic elements of design. www.redshuttercottage.com

  How to decorate using 5 classic design elements was an idea that came to me when I realized that all 5 of these elements have been around for many, many years, and I find myself using them over and over, all year round.  I wanted to share how I incorporate these timeless and classic items, on an everyday basis.  They…
