Patriotic Picks for your 4th of July Picnic

4th of July· At Home· Entertaining· Lifestyle· Seasonal & Holidays

26 Jun

Independence day is likely to look a little different this year.  As we continue to navigate life through the pandemic, even though many places have begun to open back up, many traditional 4th of July events have been cancelled so many of us are forced to celebrate at home.  That doesn’t mean your celebrations can’t be festive and fun so today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite picks for your 4th of July Picnics.

Gingham Tablecloth

Checked tablecloths have a sort of vintage charm that work perfectly for any patriotic picnic but they are equally as great for any picnic throughout the summer.  Set of 4, disposable tablecloths $10.99

Red Metal Picnic Cooler

Keep drinks “cool” with a retro inspired metal cooler.  AVailalbe in red,blue and green,this adorable cooler reminds me of vintage coolers from the 40s or 50s but is made for today.  This smaller size makes it super portable for keeping your food and drinks cold for the day.  Metal cooler:  $49.99

Star Lanterns

This adorable lantern set comes in several colors and have cute star details perfect for lighting hte way long after sunset.  Set of two lanterns:  18.99

Retro Bar Cart

This vintage inspired serving cart is great for patio parties because it will hold up to the weather. It also works great as either a serving cart for hauling all your goodies from the house or opt to set it up as a mini mobile bar cart. And if red isn’t your thing, it also comes in a number of other colors too. Vintage Bar Cart: $95.31

Adirondack Table

When hosting family and friends outside, having some extra folding tables for placing drinks and food, gives your guests options if they don’t fit at the table. These cute Adirondack tables will work after the part of fun and portable side tables for lounging in the yard and they come in a ton of colors to fit your decor. Adirondack Table: $42.87

Melamine Dinnerware Set

Melamine dinnerware is perfect for eating outside. They are lightweight and durable meaning they wont break if dropped. I love this blue and white pattern because with the right decor, they can feel patriotic and festive for the 4th but they wont seem out of place any other time of year. Melamine Dinnerware Set: $39.95

Patriotic String Lights

When the party lasts well into the evening, you’ll need lights to keep things festive. These fun and adorable star lights add just enough light and before it gets dark they only add to the decor. Star String Lights: $23.09

5 Ways to Transition Your Decor from Fall to Christmas (Without Feeling Rushed)

There’s something about a cottage-inspired home that instantly feels welcoming. Maybe it’s the layers of soft fabrics, the warm glow of a lamp in the corner, or the way everyday items are displayed with charm. To me, “cozy” doesn’t mean cluttered — it means creating a space where you can truly relax and enjoy the simple beauty of home. Over the years, I’ve discovered a few essentials that always make our home feel inviting and comfortable. These cozy touches are timeless, affordable, and easy to add no matter the size or style of your home. 🛋️ Soft Layers & Textiles Nothing says cozy like a stack of pillows and a throw draped over the sofa. I love mixing neutral tones with subtle patterns — florals, stripes, or checks — to create that layered, collected look. In bedrooms, a quilt or coverlet at the foot of the bed adds both charm and warmth. Image Suggestion: Wide shot of your living room sofa with throws and pillows layered. Pin-worthy vertical image. 🕯️ Warm Lighting Overhead lighting can feel harsh, so I rely on lamps, sconces, and even candles to create a warm glow. A cottage-inspired home shines with layered lighting — the soft glow of a lamp in the evening makes a room instantly more inviting. Image Suggestion: Close-up of a side table with a lamp, book stack, and candle burning. 🌿 Natural Elements Fresh flowers in simple vases, a basket by the door, a vintage wooden bowl — natural elements bring warmth and texture to a cottage home. Even faux greenery works if you mix it thoughtfully. Image Suggestion: Seasonal arrangement on your entryway table or kitchen counter (sunflowers, hydrangeas, or eucalyptus in fall). 📚 Personal Touches Books, artwork, and vintage finds tell your story. A stack of well-loved novels, a thrifted oil painting, or a collection of blue-and-white dishes make a space feel lived in and personal. Cozy isn’t about buying new — it’s about surrounding yourself with what you love. Image Suggestion: Styled bookcase or coffee table vignette with books + art + personal accents. 🧺 Comfort Underfoot Rugs are one of the easiest ways to add coziness to a room. I love mixing a natural jute or sisal rug with a smaller patterned rug layered on top. It adds instant warmth and that collected, cottage feel. Image Suggestion: Angle of your living room or bedroom showing layered rugs. 🍵 Kitchen Comforts A cozy home isn’t complete without the kitchen. For me, it’s having a favorite mug for my morning coffee, simple linen towels, and a candle flickering while I cook dinner. These small details make the everyday feel special. Image Suggestion: Coffee setup with mugs + candle + linen towel. Conclusion At the end of the day, creating a cozy cottage-inspired home isn’t about following strict rules. It’s about layering soft textures, adding warm light, and filling your rooms with pieces that feel personal and meaningful. These cozy essentials are what make our house feel like home — and I hope they inspire you to create the same in your space.
