Olympic Worthy Decor

We dusted off our green and gold Puma's over at LLD and cheered for our Jamaican countrymen, Usain Bolt and company.  As the Olympic dramas finally came to an end, we couldn't help but think about national pride and how that can be infused throughout your decor. Here's a peak at some spaces that we think say, "Hey, I think I love my country."  

The leader of the pack with the most Olympic medals. A great way to pay homage to the USA is to have the flag dominating a room....

The Canadians may not have snagged a treasure trove of medals, but we think they would be proud of this awesome chest.

This year's games provided reality TV at it's best.  A 25 year-old runner and his teammates silenced the naysayers. A 27 year-old swimmer said goodbye after winning the most medals ever, and a 16 year old gymnast made history - and those were just a few of the highlights. I have a feeling the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro will also be one for the record books.  What was your favorite part of the 2012 summer games? Were the opening and closing ceremonies all you thought they would be? Or was a Spice Girls reunion just a bit too much?
