I’ve been holding on to this patriotic manufactured home for a couple of months and it’s been killing me! I knew it would be better to save for the 4th so I patiently waited.
I’m so excited to share this home! This double wide exterior is perfectly patriotic but the kitchen is just as awesome.
The right front porch on a mobile or manufactured home can make a huge difference in curb appeal. It’s one of the quickest ways to make a factory-built home look more like a site-built home. Unfortunately, a new covered porch with added details like the window and the shake siding isn’t cheap but it sure is beautiful!
If you have the budget or can add a few unique details like the shake siding on the gable or the window. and a truly unique kitchen. I’ve also gathered a few affordable patriotic decor ideas that you can use to decorate your own manufactured home.
Richie Maureen Wright decorates her manufactured home beautifully for every holiday but the colors of her home paired with red, white, and blue of the patriotic decor really pairs well.

The Kitchen
You’ve seen the exterior, but the interior is just as spectacular!
You could call this style romantic farmhouse or perhaps antique farmhouse or just absolutely gorgeous.
Someone asked Maureen if her beautiful kitchen was hard to keep clean. Both she and I think white kitchens are easier to keep clean than dark colors.
I painted the bottom cabinets in our house a black thinking they would be easier to keep clean (or look clean). Boy, was I wrong! Yes, white is hard to keep clean but black seems to show everything even worse.
There are so many little details that I keep finding in the photos. The back walls are covered in ornate textured paper and the columns are so regal and stately.
The antique stove and pie safe are precious American relics.
PS She’s Updated this Kitchen
This home is so gorgeous and inspiring but believe it or not, Richie Maureen has completed changed the look of her kitchen. She’s went with a more modern farmhouse look. I’ll try to talk her into sharing it with us when she is finished!

Happy 4th of July!
I hope you all have a great 4th of July! I appreciate you reading Mobile Home Living!
Love the patriotic decor–very affordable even on a tight budget.
Also, I love Maureen’s kitchen–if people would only realize how budget friendly the “unfitted kitchen” can be–and is much more interesting and creative than getting cabinets from a “big box” store. I see so many armoires, china cabinets and buffets/dressers at Habitat, thrift stores, etc for a fraction of the cost of pre-fab cabinets.
I so look forward to Mobile Home Living in my email box. Love the ideas & all the great information.
thank-you

Wow! Thank you so much, Dee! I appreciate you taking the time to comment – it means so much to me, thank you!
Thanks, Linda! I am in love with her house – that front porch is perfect!
Thanks for commenting!
I love her sense of style. She has an amazing ability to repurpose and pull together vintage items to create a gorgeous and inviting home. Wonderful to see her talents featured here.
Absolutely stunning! I bought a double wide on land and no one ever realized it was unless I told them.
