Red, White and Blue – Homes that Inspire

Happy Holiday Weekend!

In honor of the July 4th holiday, I thought it would be fun to look at some homes and rooms that incorporate this color trifecta. I went through my own “red phase” at one point, and looking back, I don’t think I did it justice (think red accent walls). But, at the time, I was really digging it. I’m finding now, that I like red in smaller doses.

Let’s take a look!

Who doesn’t love a red front door? Especially when it’s the perfect shade of tomato red.

I’m a smitten kitten with this room. It’s such a great balance of red, white and blue, without being over the top, you know?

A red kitchen island! So daring, but so well done. And the window treatment – awesome.

This is one of my favorites. The red couch is perfect in this room – the whole space is so fresh and inviting, don’t you think? There are so many elements to this room that I adore (did you catch that front door?) It just feels like a welcoming place to be.

Isn’t this island amazing? It really anchors the room and totally works in such a vast space.

I could ogle rooms like this for hours – such great possibilities with red, white and blue, don’t you think?

Have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!

These pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I love a pop of red in any room. It is my favorite color. I am seriously going nuts over that red island.

There's no denying that a bit of red really gives room life. It used to be my signature color – I had a little bit in every room, but as I look around I realize I don't have ANY red in my current house. I think I need to bring in a little pop of it somewhere! Hope you had a great 4th Jenny! Thanks for all the eye candy this morning.
