RED, WHITE & BLUE

Gone are the days of red, white and blue used only in Yankee style country homes, beach houses or boats. It's a perpetually classic combo.
In one tri-color grouping you have clean, crisp and regal.


RED WHITE BLUE INTERIORS

Red, White & Blue are popular all over the world! 
One secret when using RW&B is to use a lot of white which keeps it from looking like a campaign's headquarters.

Neutrals with pops of red and a framed Old Glory as the 'interest-point' in the room makes it cozier and more casual, rather than another ubiquitous Warhol of Liz Taylor or Marilyn Monroe...

Bubby Pearls old Miami furniture looks awesome in RW&B!

I love in-yer-face elegance!
This  is the "New Traditional"

LOVE this room!
It's the quintessential country house bedroom; it's cozy, bright, happy, and fits with the old house feeling. 

The two different toile's together are totally brill!

Don't all young boys want a boat-ish looking bedroom once they've outgrown the superhero thing?

This patchwork spread has an old souvenir table cloth sewn onto it.

Dafuq?
This casual Nantucket home has been brought to the edge of insanity with bright red paint...however, it's totally fun for a few months! 
(I'd 'off myself' if this was my permanent residence, right?)

Inexpensive second-hand furniture is easily overlooked with the sophisticated fabric and carefully used accents.

I'm sooo  tired of the wanna-be 'spa' indoor pools with their soothing  earth-tone colors and monotonous John Tesh music...  
Fuqdatshit, gimme some flash for my cash baby and some loud-ass,  music...

Guest room 101,  just do it.

In this craycray bohemian pad the RW&B holds it all together and gives it a cool vibe.

Seaside porches scream for RW&B,  it's just sooo classic.

Oh no she d'int...
Yup. And it works too, beotch...

OMG I love this room! 
Study the details and how ingeniously the budget was kept in check with recycled pieces simply painted and/or recovered (blue side chairs, blue wing chair, white center table).

Teenager doesn't want the boat shtick?
RW&B can help, but K.I.S.S.!!!  (keep it simple, stupid).


(Source: Pinterest)
GTFO!
Yes, RW&B with contemporary, go figure...

The lacquered shelves complete the RW&B circle and make this room way more interesting than if they were white.

Who says it has to be Navy blue?
This pale turquoise is a perfect pairing with the brilliant red.

DECORATING WITH OLD GLORY, et al


Authentic old Campbell's Soup sign - hmmm, Andy who??

In this aerie the large American flag makes a vivid statement and compliments the pastiche of the old quilts and antiques.

That $842,000(!) Jasper Johns, whilst being small, added an eye-catching point-of-interest in Michael Crichton's home.

Love the black 'envelope' with the Union Jack flag carpets and pillows as the only color.

Minimalism at its best
Less is always  more...

This conjures up some good ol' American pride. 
Collection walls can often be heinous, but this one totally rocks.

This vividness of the flag on the stairway makes it a BFD in the design of the all-white space. The pillow compliments it and keeps the feeling flowing.

WTF.....$28,642,500.00  ?!?!?
(Yes, you read that right, Christie's fetched $28 MILLION for that Jasper Johns at Michael Crichton's sale)

This tatty old American flag adds patina to this assemblage of art and objects. The contemporary red lacquered table and vivid blue-and-white striped rug update this space big time.

AGAIN, bring more red into the room. 
An all blue room needs to be broken up with something else - it's just too damn blue...

Why not let one item be the attention get'er?
(It'd be better if it was four-times larger....jus sayin')

This garage-playroom conversion would be boring as hell without that flag. It's big, bold and beautiful - like I like my lady's!

This room filled with second-hand shit actually gets a pass because of the groovy old Red-Cross flag.

I find the small pillows with "July 4th"  and "Liberty"  completely twee.  I'm sure she also has a kettle of cinnamon sticks boiling on the stove...
