A Shoe-In

Put pep in your decorating step via a beachy keen display sporting wood flip-flops. To fashion a charming picnic table centerpiec­e for backyard parties, set up a seaside scene on a tray filled with sand and seashells, or position these starsand-stripes accents between toy pails and shovels in coordinati­ng colors.

High-Flying Style

Delight fans of aviation—and gardeners, too—with a nostalgic metal airplane planter that’s inspired by the early days of flight. Embellish the pot with live flowers or herbs, or go low maintenanc­e with artificial greens, to create a jaunty accessory that can serve as a perfect addition to a collection of Americana treasures or a toy-filled shelf in a child’s bedroom.

Share the Love

It is often said that home is where the heart is, and this endearing rock wreath crafted from resin stones is sure to generate a smile from visitors at your front door. You can also bring the sweet sentiment inside and hang the wreath on a wall alongside cherished family photos or place it on a cabinet door near shelves full of favorite heirlooms.

Grateful Greeting

Welcome warmer days with a trio of stacking blocks that send a thankful message. Accompany the blocks with a petite pitcher or basket full of flowers, or set them within a small display cabinet among other tiny trinkets to enliven any wall space.

Flag-Waving Favorite

Nothing represents summertime spirit better than flags and flowers, and this rustic wood sign offers a colorful dose of both icons. Lean this lovely picture on a mantel or shelf dressed up with bunting or a red, white and blue banner, and then add a barn star or two and pottery bursting with real-deal blooms to tie the look together.

Ruling the Roost

This patriotic pair of resin chicks will bring down-home farmyard flair to any kitchen. Boost the birds on risers such as small benches or scales and position them on a wide windowsill, tuck them into a cupboard amid dishware that features complement­ary hues, or gather natural excelsior in a bowl along with faux eggs to create a comfy countertop nest. Petal to the Metal

Plant a little pizzazz in your home with recycled metal-art blossoms anchored by rustic rocks. Pair the quartet with potted perennials as part of a welcoming front porch or entryway arrangemen­t, or spread their cheer throughout your rooms by showcasing them solo in spots that could benefit from a seasonal pick-me-up.
