Fourth of July in the Mountains

Dusty, muted blues and reds gave this color scheme a vintage New England appeal. Veering away from the typical vibrant and loud red, white and blues, the overall effect exudes a tone of formality and sophistication, while retaining the patriotic, light-spirited intent.

The table treatments consist of deep blue denim under-lays with rusty barn red and creamy white striped overlays. Matching napkins are adorned in distressed metal stars.

Signature barn wood boxes of Harrington Smith boast a playful assortment of gerbera daisies, hydrangea, thistle, and delphinium.

The view doesn't hurt the impressiveness of this party, either.
