One More Long Weekend: Labor Day, the Flag, and Decor That Stays Up All Year
Posted by SY on Aug 21, 2026
Labor Day is the quiet one. No parade, no fireworks, no cookout anybody plans more than two days out. But it's a holiday about work - and everything we sell is cut, weeded, and packed by hand in a small shop in Corsica, South Dakota.
It's also the last flag-flying weekend of summer. Before the red, white, and blue goes back in the tote in the basement, here's a case for leaving some of it up.
1. Start in the Backyard
Nobody redecorates a living room on Labor Day. They stand in a yard arguing about whether that bag was in or on. Our cornhole decals come as a set of two - one design per board.
2. The Porch, and the Sign You Meant to Build in June
One board, one can of paint, one decal. Stencil sets work in reverse - stick, paint over, peel.
Building from scratch? A pack of 2-inch vinyl stars makes a paint mask no stencil brush can match, and the Military Family stencil set turns a piece of pallet wood into a sign in an afternoon.
3. The Walls That Stay Red, White, and Blue
Here's what people miss about patriotic decor: most of it isn't seasonal. A flag over the sofa in February isn't out of place the way a pumpkin in February is.
4. For the House With Someone Serving
Labor Day isn't a military holiday - that's Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and we'd never blur the two. But it is the weekend the whole family is finally in one place, and somebody notices the wall behind the table is still blank.
5. One for the Drive Home
The cheapest thing here is the one people see the most of. Outdoor-rated vinyl, on in about five minutes.
Quick tip: patriotic doesn't have to mean bright red and royal blue. Deep navy with a muted brick red looks better on most walls - so does plain matte black. We cut in over 45 colors, so order a color sample before you commit.
