10 Ways to Round Up Some Texas Style

The food, the art, the music scene, the wild and lonesome landscape — from Austin to Marfa, Houston to Dallas, Texas has it going on. Beyond the big ranches and McMansions is a whole world of fresh, independent design, and, of course, creative homeowners making Texas style their own. Here are 10 fun, creative ways to bring a slice of the Lone Star State into your home.

1. Live for tacos. Proclaim your love for tacos by making your own sign. Use craft store letters or address letters from the hardware store to spell out “Make tacos not war” on a sign; hang it in the kitchen or over the grill.

2. Plant a cactus garden. What could be more Texas than a cactus garden? If you are lucky enough to live where it doesn’t freeze in the winter, plant your cacti outside — if you do get cold winters, plant yourself a potted cactus garden instead.

3. Treat your home more like a cool art gallery.Complement a crisp white gallery wall with eclectic art, a modern wooden bench and a large-scale handmade pot. For extra credit artfully drape a beautiful textile over the bench.
