Fall Home Tour: Cowboys and Elvis

2 shares

  • Tweet

This fall tour is not at all about pumpkins.

Sorry if you were ready for pumpkins.

Instead its about some of my favorite fall-ish things…cowboy hats and boots…red plaid blankets…and Elvis.

Ok, Elvis isn’t really fall-ish, but its my house and I’ll do what I want to.

If you want pumpkins and leaves and all that jazz, check back in a few weeks when I’ve actually had time to remember where I stored all that decor from last year.

#storyofmylife

A huge thanks to Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for organizing this Fall Tour of Homes. She is so on top of her game – don’t miss her tour. If you are new here from A Thoughtful Place or another blog on the tour, welcome! Fair warning that I’m not near as talented as all those other ladies and also don’t speak as eloquently as they do. I’m also just weird. And random. You’ve been warned.

So, let me tell you something.

I love country music. 

You may have already figured that out.

But in the fall, I love it a little bit more. 

Which I didn’t even know was possible.

I don’t even know why I love it a little more in the fall besides the fact that I drink a bit more Jack in the fall and what pairs better with Jack than country music?

Nothing I tell you. Nothing.

Fall Home Tour / The Entryway / Kelly Green, Black and White accents / Cowboy Accents

So in the fall, instead of leaving my grandfather’s cowboy hat tucked safely away with the vintage cowboy blanket, I pull them both out.

And decorate with them.

Because what’s better than a kelly green pillow paired with a modern black and white one and cowboy paraphernalia all against a confetti wall?

Random? Yes. But it makes me smile.  

Fall Home Tour / The Living Room / Cowgirl DIY Lampshade

And I might play a little bit of musical lamps.

And put the cowgirl lampshade in the living room.

Just because.

Fall Home Tour / The Living Room / Kelly Green Accents

And mix in a little red and gray plaid with another green velvet pillow.

Because you can’t have enough comfy green velvet pillows.

And to top it all off…

Fall Home Tour / The Stairwell / Easy Abstract Circles Accent Wall / Elvis Bust / Lips Watercolor Art

We’ll put Elvis against a random abstract circle wall beside red watercolor lips.

Because every home needs a little Elvis in their lives – whether its fall-ish or not.

Am I right or am I right?

P.S. That abstract circle wall is the stairwell! I finally figured out what to do with it – it only took me five months – more on it soon!

What are your favorite fall-ish decorating pieces? Besides pumpkins!

The next tour stop is Style Your Senses – I promise Mallory won’t let you down!

    Jenna I am a big fan of creating vignettes with time earned memories verses recent home store decor finds. You have it in spades and yes, Elvis, in my opinion, is fully seasonal. Great tour!

    You’re speaking my language! LOVE country music, boots, hats and a cowboy in starched jeans & western shirt! Do you know where I might find one? 🙂 Seriously, I love your decor ~ all the time! I know Elvis approves. Did you make the lamp shade?

      Joy, a Texas trip is definitely in mine and Grunt Labor’s future! I’ve been before, but he hasn’t. LOVE Texas! Hopefully, we will get to Houston sooner than later, because I would love to hit up some little places with awesome country music – they are always the best!

      Reece, you made my day!! Seriously, I don’t know how many people that would look forward to seeing my name in their inbox everyday! haha! Oh, that Elvis bust – funny story! I went on the world’s longest yard sale with a friend (its just a little ways from where I live) and found an Elvis bust that I loved for $40, but couldn’t bring myself to pay that much for him. I came home, looked on Ebay and Etsy and there were more, but around $20. I was about to buy one, but thought no, I’ll wait until after I hit up more yard sales today. And would you believe that the first one I hit up that day they had that one for $2!!? $2!! Now, he does have a chip and I had to spray paint him that glossy white, because he was stained, but man he is one of my favorite finds!

      That entry vignette may be one of my favorites ever! The green pillow is from Pillow Central – they have a huge selection! Of course, I had to go with kelly green ones though!
