remember on Tuesday I did a post about my hometown of Houston,
so now we're moving out into our beautiful hill country, which comprises much
of our state.
a few images of the style of the hill country, which is NW of Houston,
encompassing Austin and surrounding small towns.
exposed native woods & a sense of comfort & livability abound.
sort of upscale countrified, don't you think?
the above scene could be in Provence or Tuscany or the Texas hill country.
& who wouldn't LOVE this kitchen?
so full of light & so warm,
not a bit formal, but completely organized and welcoming.
there are so many antique shops, bed & breakfast inns, charming little venues for
weddings...which are hugely popular now...like barns decorated with crystal chandeliers
while cows graze about 50' away, rolling hills covered with bluebonnets in springtime,
and interspersed with what we call Indian paintbrushes which are red.
our styles
we even have Texas wines, many of them, with a huge
Wine & Music Festival in May
I think I need to go to this, don't you?
Oh, you're so blessed, your state is wonderful, I falled in love for each one of the images, all my style. I think I would be happy living there.
ReplyDeleteNow, about your lovely comments on my blog, you made my day.
I'm a dog person but I love and respect all the animals, and this I believe we have in common.
Look the immense ways the animals have contributed to humankind over the years, we should treat them the way they deserve.
Wish you had the most perfect Woman's day in the company of those you love the most.
Warm hugs to you
Tereza
Fabulous images Marsha, I love them!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment, you are wonderful Xx
Lovely post and divine pictures. We're moving to Austin in May, after 40 years in Houston. I'm excited and terrified! Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the delightful little day dream.
and thank you of course for your welcome visit to my blog.
have a lovely weekend, Colette x
Marsha! You've hit on my favorite, Hill Country!!! All the little towns...each one so unique and filled with great character, surrounded by the most wonderful landscapes, farms, animals, rivers and streams...can't ever get my fill. Comfort, Round Top and Luckenbach are favorite stops, but it is difficult to single even those out.
ReplyDeleteMay Texas remain Texan and may the rest of the country take heed!
Ya'all have it all...in stars!
Hugs, Chris
Where to start? The hardwoods, the jewelry, the sweets, the natural woods and rug in the first image.. all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful state has so many facets.....love the vibe and picture you painted above, sounds wonderful. Something for everyone! Love how they each have their own little flavor. Havea fabulous day Marsha!
ReplyDeleteUpscale countrified describes the Hill Country perfectly Marsha. Just one more reason to like Texas, oui? When the wildflowers bloom, it is more special than ever.

Since I live here, I just loved everything about this post! The Texas Hill Country and everything about it is such a blessing. You did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThat home is stunning and I can't believe it's outside of Houston you're right it looks more like Italy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
