Whether you're cheering on Team USA or rooting for another team, Olympic fever is sweeping the world. I'll be wearing red, white and blue until August 12, as will my front porch.
There's nothing like the Olympic games to stir up pride in one's nation and inspire patriotic curb appeal in the form of flags, pillows and more. So get your outdoor speakers rigged up and get ready to blast your national anthem on replay.

Cheer on the nation and your hometown hero by waving the American flag and your state flag. Amber Campbell, a 2012 Track and Field Olympian, is feeling the South Carolina love!

| Pleated fans and an American flag combine to create one festive front porch. The tapered Craftsman columns up its curb appeal, too. |

Knee wall railings help to make this front porch feel intimate. The hanging baskets and flag contribute to the charm.

| There's no doubt in my mind that 2012 Olympic swimmer Cammile Adams appreciates a pool tiled with a Texas flag. |
| This Puget Sound home proves that flagpoles don't always need to be mounted porchside. Find an empty area on your home's elevation to fly your flag and accent an otherwise unused space. |

| A flagpole is not always required: A massive flag hangs from the porch ceiling of this shingle-style home. |

| At water’s edge are two boat slips, a boathouse and a dock-mounted flagpole. O Canada! |

Matt Hudson Flags on a house make it look tacky and rednecked. I have no idea why this seems to be so popular in the US.

charlacarroll Lovely. When I visit my hometown in New England and see all the bunting and flags I know I'm home.

fredericklc Response to Matt Hudson: We American's are a patriotic bunch and proudly fly our nation's flag. At our home we have a permanent flag pole in the front yard and add red, white and blue bunting to our porches during appropriate holidays. If this makes us tacky and rednecked, then we are proud to be so. Long live the USA!!!
