What does the 4th of July mean to me?It's more than bar-b-ques, fireworks, friends and family. It's a time of remembrance of those who have given, and continue to give to help make our country free. I'm really grateful to be from the land of the free!
This room was the perfect room to share with Design Dazzle readers a couple of days before the 4th of July. This Mural was painted in a Historical Mansion near Jockey Hollow National Park, in Morristown, NJ. Jockey Hollow was the winter encampment sight of The Revolutionary Army, under George Washington, in the winter of 1779. The mural is painted by Pat McWhorter and the design of this room, with Interior Designer Dawn Mullins, shows scenes of the soldier huts and the farm during that cold winter, as well as some of the uniforms worn by the soldiers and drum and bugle corp. Pat also painted a trompe l'oeil border of patriotic bunting to tie the room together. Adding modern touches, the room and design was brought up to date. The boys room is entitled "The Yankee Doodle Dandy Room."

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!
