Fall in Love with Texas Blog Tour

Howdy, y'all! Welcome to the Fall in Love With Texas blog tour where 20+ Texas bloggers are sharing their Fall decor.  I am thrilled to be part of this tour. It started yesterday with Katie of Let's Add Sprinkles, our hostess. Pop on over to Katie's blog to catch the beginning of the tour or scroll to the end of my post where you will find each days participants.

 Is it cooling off where you are? It's been pretty warm here in Texas - like in the mid to upper 90's. With humidity. yucky! This past week though we had a cool front move through and our weather has been wonderful! It really put me in the Fall mood and I've got my spaces all Fallified. :o)

I'd love for you to come see how our city home has it's Fall on!

To begin, I cleaned the front porch up a couple of weeks back in anticipation of decorating it. Then I got my fence post scarecrow out of the attic - he had seen better days however:

So he got a new paint job - brighter red for his shirt, a fresh coat of blue for his jeans, and although you can't see his feet, I painted them to look like cowboy boots.  His hat was shaped like a cowboy hat, he got a red checked bandana and even Mr. Crow got a fresh coat of black paint. Grapevines look like a lasso:

His pet armadillo is hanging out by the big orange pumpkins:

I added a metal sign with a Texas greeting:

On the other side of the door is Mr. Donkey with a lighted twine pumpkin.

What's that in the planter beside Mr. Donkey? A horned toad, of course! What says Texas more than a horned toad?

Throw in some pumpkins, colorful leaves, and gourds and you have a Fall porch with Texas flair.

On the door is a Fall wreath with another scarecrow:

Step inside where we'll head to the dining room.
 The table is all set - cute salad plates to top my red dinner plates and woodland chargers:

I added this gorgeous plate to the buffet. It's from Walmart and part of their Better Homes and Gardens line. I just had to have one! (I really wanted to buy a whole set - I had to restrain myself. I don't need more plates! HA!)

It adds a nice pop of color in front of the galvanized flower bucket.

From the dining room, we go through to the kitchen/breakfast room.  I found this printable on the Anderson+Grant blog. I want to print this! But since I need ink for my printer I'm unable to print it right now.

However, I love the saying so I wrote it on my large chalkboard in the breakfast room.

How lovely! I think it's my new favorite Fall saying!

On the breakfast room table, I added sunflowers, mums, and foliage to a mercury glass container:

And added a pretty table runner and woven placemats in a rich fall color:

At the sink, oranges, apples, mangos and more foliage round out the kitchen/breakfast area:

Along with my Autumn kitty painting sitting on the shelf above the sink:

did you notice my chalkboard saying changed? :o)

 I'm so thrilled Fall is finally here and the temperatures have finally begun to cool off. I absolutely love Fall and all the beauty nature showers us with!
