In recent years I have noticed all the Americana decor available to us & have kinda gone crazy with it in the dining-room, but it just looks so nice & what a great way to show your patriotism! I like that country look so a lot of it is in that style...I even bought red & white striped material & I dyed it with tea to look old & then sewed on a strip of blue that had white stars on it & made 2 valances out of it...looks really cool & I gotta lot of compliments on it! Even my wallpaper border has stars & stripes on it...just wondered if anyone else has a lot things like this in their homes?

I don't have anything like that in my own home. I don't really think it would be what I'd go for in decorating the interior of my home. I preferr pastel yellows, pinks and peaches... with shades of purple. Although I'm sure your place looks nice, and I'd probably admire it if I were to see it... but for my own home I prefer to go in a different direction.

Your decorating ideas sound very nice as well...I also love light colors too, sounds like our guest room, its lavender with a white quilt with all different colors of flowers on it & a valance to match...

I don't but I love it.....if I had a bigger house with a fixed up basement I would love to have it for the decor! They do have so many cool things and it sounds like you used your imagination and really went to town! You should have posted a picture! I would love to see it!

I never thought about doing a finished basement in it...not that I have one though! But that's a really cool idea!!! I should've posted some pics of it! That was a great idea too!!
