4th of July in January

It feels a little odd to be introducing Patriotic Patch in January! The star and stripes pattern evokes memories of sunny days, poolside barbecues and family and friends taking a day to celebrate our nation's independence with the ones we love...but maybe we can pretend it's July for the purposes of this blog post?

Victorian Heart is a family-owned and operated company based in Branson, Missouri, and well, there's a lot of Americana and patriotic home decor out there, but in our opinion VHC is among the very best.



This collection is similar to the Kettle Grove pattern in that it features a primary patchwork design (stars and stripes!) with accessorizing plaids. Instead of going through each room of the house as we've done in previous posts, we thought it might be fun to just spotlight a few of our favorite items.

And, just a reminder: we are still offering a 15% discount on ALL Victorian Heart bedding sets, including Kettle Grove, Patriotic Patch, Farmhouse Star and Heartland, which we will be introducing in a blog post very soon!

Also, if you haven't visited our Facebook page recently, we've just added some photos of the Heartland and Farmhouse Star collections and, wow, people are loving them!

  

11 places for Kettle Grove around the house

Last week, we told you about two of our new collections from Victorian Heart, Kettle Grove and Patriotic Patch. (Psst! There are actually two other new collections from Victorian Heart that we haven't even mentioned yet!)

Today, we'll explore Kettle Grove items for the kitchen, the bathroom and living areas and everything in between. (If you missed it, check out our post on the Kettle Grove bedroom collection!)

In the shower...

The Kettle Grove shower curtain, naturally! And if you want to see more stars, the curtain coordinates nicely with the Black Star shower curtain hooks, star bathroom towel bars and towel rings, and the Olde Crow night light.




On the bathroom floor... 

The Kettle Grove star stencil braided rug has a contrasting black and tan braid with a natural jute center.

 


In the bathroom window... 

 The Kettle Grove block border valance is perfect accent for a bathroom window.



In your cozy place... 

A braided jute basket is a warm accent for a den, sewing room or reading nook.



In the living room window... 

The Kettle Grove scalloped swag and scalloped tiers offer a classic country look for a living room (or kitchen!) window.



On the coffee table... 

These braided jute coasters are handy to have around wherever friends gather.

 

On the stairs... 

We have Kettle Grove braided stair treads in the rectangular stair tread you see below, as well as oval shaped stair tread.



In the foyer... 

Our Kettle Grove braided 'Welcome' rugs are 20x30 and they love wet feet!

In the kitchen... Our Patience-Kindness-Gratitude tea towels make a lovely kitchen accent.



At the table... Kettle Grove has a collection of more than 40 table mats, place mats, trivets, runners, table clothes, and more. You really have to see them all to believe it.

And...on you! 

The Kettle Grove patchwork apron looks even better on real people as it does slung over this chair.

This just in! Kettle Grove bedding from Victorian Heart

This week, we are introducing two new collections from Victorian Heart: Patriotic Patch and Kettle Grove. 

Each collection has almost 100 items, so we'll be breaking them up into a series of blog posts just to make sure we give them the attention they deserve.

Today's post: completing the look with Kettle Grove bedding. The primary design of this collection features a patchwork design, but the  accessories have a really great variety of complementary textures and patterns.

You could take a patchwork quilt...



add an applique throw...



a bed scarf (because beds get cold in the wintertime!)...



Some pillows...lots and lots of pillows!



and complete the look with a set of drapery panels and a braided jute rug.

 

The Kettle Grove bedding collection also includes a woven throw, bed skirt and woven covelet.

It's a classic look that doesn't go overboard with the primary pattern and it pairs well with other rust, navy or off-white solids you might already have in your bedroom.

Right now, you can save 15% on all of our Kettle Grove and Patriotic Patch bedding items when you buy a quilt + 3 or more accessories! Discount applied at checkout.

Coming up: Kettle Grove for the rest of your house!
