I’m coming to you today from Kure Beach, NC where we are spending our 4th of July holiday.
I’m sharing some patriotic scenes and last-minute ideas for your Fourth of July Week.

Adventures at the End of the Dirt Road
This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.
First, I shared my favorite new project for our outdoor kitchen.
Our tiny beach cottage is decorated for the 4th of July with a few patriotic touches to the front porch. You can see more about how I decorate the remodeled cottage on How To Decorate Your Coastal Cottage for the 4th of July.
In Case You Missed It
Brad used all the old vintage windows we reclaimed from our 1940s beach cottage and made this wonderful Shabby Chic Kitchen Cabinet. You can see all the details and instructions here.

What’s in my Cart
I’m getting this vase now that it is on sale.
These water goblets have been on my list for some time. Can’t wait to finally get them.
I just pre-ordered my good friend Stacy at Bricks N Blooms first book. You can pre-order The Bricks N Blooms Guide to Easy Care Flower Garden.
And I’ve been wanting these glass canisters to hold our laundry pods at the farmhouse and beach cottage.
This outdoor sofa is on sale, and I’m so tempted. However, I’d need a couple of these chairs to go with it. They are so stunning.
I hope you have the best 4th of July Week!
