4th of July Red White and Blue Tablescape

I created another 4th of July Red White and Blue tablescape and it won’t be my last!

4th of July party and tablescape

This time of year I can’t get enough of patriotic themed tablescapes!

Red coffee pot vase

I saw this red enameled white spreckled coffee pot in Target in the dollar section and I just had to have it!

I only wish they had mugs to match!

The great thing about this coffee pot is, that I not only could use it to serve hot cocoa but also as a darling vase with white flowers from my garden.

Add in a couple of American flags and BAM I have that Red White and Blue patriotic look.

DIY Denim Silverware pockets

Setting the red coffee pot inside one of my round galvanized trays and adding a few flowers makes a pretty centerpiece. I also used some of DIY denim silverware pockets to hold a box of sparklers and a plastic red white and blue pin wheel for the grandkids.

Denim Silverware pockets

To make the denim silverware pockets cut out two back pockets from some old jeans. Then cut each pocket in half from top to bottom.

Sew up the open sides with double stitching, and apply stop fraying to keep the sewn edge from unraveling.

The bigger the pants the bigger the pockets 😉

Yellow straws with lemons

These darling yellow and white straws and sliced lemon straw decorations were also from the dollar section in Target! The yellow just pops against the red white and blue.

Yellow striped straws just make me think of lazy summer days as a kid sipping lemonade or soda from a glass bottle.

Ruffled edged paper plates

I am totally obsessed with these ruffled paper plates! I bought them from Sophistiplate but they don’t carry these particular ones any more. Looking around I did find some other red white and blue plates that would look cute. You can shop for them at the bottom of the post.

These paper plates look like melamine plastic plates but they are paper!

You might remember my other red white and blue tablescape that I put together here.

These plates are calling my name to order these in every color!! Haha

The matching white and blue striped napkins pulled through my red berry napkin rings just make this patriotic tablescape sing for me!

I’ve used these napkin rings for years now! Remember this French black and tablescape or this pink flamingo one?

I used to sell them on here but I can’t find them any more 🙁

Red and white handled cutlery

Can I tell you how much I love these Red and white handled flatware from Pottery Barn?

I purchased them years ago on clearance!

I don’t know why I didn’t buy more than 4 place-settings!

For the 4th of July this year I am praying for perfect weather so I can host this party outside!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • What a gorgeous table setting! Perfect for Memorial Day inspiration! Sim #FriendshipFriday

  • Everything in your table setting looks just perfect for a patriotic celebration! You hit the jackpot finding the ruffled paper plates.

  • This is beautiful Karin! Our kids would love the sparklers and pin wheel! That those are paper plate blows my mind. They look so real, and don't cheapen the look like some paper plates can (depending on the table set up). I must have them!

    • Hi Niki!
      Those paper plates are seriously the cutest ones I have ever seen. They really do look like they are real plates. Thanks for stopping in and saying hi and leaving such a sweet comment.

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • I really am loving your tablescapes and decor. Just found your site and will be sure to wait for your newest updates. I do have one question for you though. I have white and red pip berry napkin rings but cannot find the blue ones, could you direct me to an on-line site where I might be able to purchase them? Any help would be fantastic. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

    • Thank you so much for stopping by! I still have some decor I want to put up in the backyard!

  • Love this Karin! Looks great. I've been thinking about patriotic touches and this totally gets mean the mood! Have a great day.

  • Very pretty! I think many of us will be entertaining at home on The Fourth this year as so many festivals have been cancelled. Here in my little town in Massachusetts even the fireworks have been cancelled. It’s such a shame.

    • I know so sad but we can still enjoy fun in our own backyards 👍🏻 Playing fun games, decorating in cute ways! Making memories in special new ways.
      Hugs, Karin

  • Hi Karin, I'm visiting from the link party Finding Silver Pennies where your adorable tablescape was featured.
    I would love to feature it and link back to you in an upcoming post in June.
    If you are comfortable with this, then please let me know by email

    thank you
    Rachelle

    • Hi Rachellle! Yes! I would love that! Thank you for your kindness in sharing my tablescape that means a lot!
      Hugs,
      Karin

  • There's something American about denim, I LOVE how you used it in your centerpiece. Beautiful tablescape!!

    • Isn’t that so true! Denim is truly all American! I remember when my hubby traveled a lot all around Asia and they wanted American denim jeans Levi 501’s to be exact.

      Thanks so much for stopping in!
      Hugs,
      Karin
