Fifteen beautiful Patriotic Porchesp are being shared on this tour to give you ideas for your own outdoor decor during the summer season. I’m so honored to be a part of it! A big thank you to Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home for organizing!
Welcome to our lakeside cabin in the Northwoods of Wisconsin! Our guest house porch is ready and waiting for our visitors’ arrival. If you are coming over from Cecelia at My Thrift Store Addiction didn’t you love her enamelware herb pots!

One of the best parts of decorating a lake house, is that patriotic and nautical decor is not just for the Fourth of July, it works for the whole summer.
Red, whites and blues, stars and stripes, mixing old and new pieces, these are all essential elements for my patriotic porch.
A favorite summer geranium door swag is easily made patriotic by adding in dollar store flags.
I don’t usually have a wreath on the guest house door. So when I want to add one, I simply use a Command Strip Hook.
This vintage, wooden All American tennis racket got to come home with me after a recent visit to a flea market for $3!
I love to “shop my home” and find pieces from around the house to pull my porch decor together. A blue gingham Ralph Lauren throw pillow is mixed in with an anchor pillow and flag pillow all found at Home Goods.
I rarely drink soda, but when I do, it’s classic Coca Cola. How about you… Coke or Pepsi? This vintage minnow bucket makes a great ice cooler.
Corn Hole or “Bags”, as we call it, is a favorite summer game at our house.
A vintage thermos becomes a vase for more dollar store flags and a George Washington Pipe Tobacco tin add touches of Americana.

Kristin, I always love to see how you’ve styled your charming cabin for the season. Your patriotic porch is no exception–it’s so festive and inviting! The layered doormats are really fun. Happy to be participating in the tour with you! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
p.s. I hope you’ll share this at our Vintage Charm party tomorrow 😉
You know there’s nothing better than an ice-cold Coke on the porch! I love what you’ve done on your porch, Kristin. You have such cute ideas. The door decor is perfect and so easy!
Thanks so much Stacey!! This has been such a fun tour!
Kristin I always think your home is perfect no matter the season! You are right, it certainly lends itself to patriotic and nautical touches and you have put everything together beautifully! I don’t drink any soda either, but when I did it was “Always Coco-Cola!” As I shared on my early summer home tour, it just doesn’t seem like summer without some vintage Coke nostalgia.
As usual, you have made me want to come up and visit for a little vacation! I hope you savor every beautiful moment of summer at Camp Paradise!
*Coca-Cola
I must have chocolate on the brain! I don’t know what “Coco-Cola” is but it might be good!
This tour, just like the others you have hosted has been so fabulous.It not only was fun for me to style and write, but also read your post and the other talented bloggers you invited! Such inspiration!! Thanks again Amber!!
Your porch is absolutely darling. I now want a pair of vintage child-sized water skis and darling tins!
Thanks Laura! I’m giggling reading your sweet comment, because I too feel like I read your posts and the other girls on the tour and am making my vintage shopping list while I read. I’m so inspired!
Kristin your lake home porch is perfection! I love all of the vintage touches and I am totally a cocoa-cola girl! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks so much Kelly! It has been a really fun tour with so much inspiration!
Wow, I’d love to be a guest there! It’s so welcoming and perfect for the entire summer. So excited to be on this tour with you.
Thanks so much Cindy!! This has been such a fabulous tour! Excited to have found your blog through it!
Your cabin front porch is amazing! I love all the little touches that really make it pop like the tennis racket and skis! So happy to be on the Patriotic Porches Tour with you!
Thanks so much Michelle! This tour has been so fun! I’ve been so inspired by your post and the others on the tour! Enjoy your 4th of July!
Kristin, it is darling! I love that racket. I would have nabbed it in a hurry. I am a Coca Cola gal, but prefer mine diet with lime. 🙂 I have a couple of minnow buckets. I need to pull my red one out. Such a fun and welcoming porch.
hugs,
Jann

Kristin, love, love, love the porch! But, as a wreath maker, I have to tell you how wonderful, unique and simple (in the very nicest way!) I found your front door “wreath”! Just lovely.
How fun to hear that Debbee! I have had this “wreath” for years and love it so much I’m always excited to use it again.
I always love how you style your cabin for all the holidays. I love the old skis and the rackets!
Thanks so much Angelina! Always so fun to tour with you! You always inspire me!
Wow! What fun having a lake house must be, and you have done an incredible job decorating it for summer and the 4th of July! Your porch looks like it should be in a magazine! I really like the starry mats and the vintage water skis! I think I learned to ski on some like those many, many years ago! I am so happy to have joined you in this hop and have discovered White Arrows Home through this hop!
Thanks so much Chloe for this super sweet compliment! I am so glad I have found your blog through this tour too! I just love it! My kids are asking to try to ski on those vintage pair! It will make a great IG story!! 🙂
Kristin, you have created the perfect space to spend summer days! I’m definitely a coca-cola gal and would love to sit on that porch and sip one with you. I love how you added the vintage touches also. So happy to join you on this tour. Have a fabulous 4th!
Thanks so much Heather! It would be so fun to sit and sip Cokes together and get to know each other! Fun to be on the tour with you! Happy 4th of July!
