It has finally gotten a tad cooler here in South Texas!

The morning temps have been around 60 degrees, so I am celebrating!

New {Porch} in Town

It's fun to hang out on the porch on a cool crisp evening.

My hubs and I will often grab a chair and sit to recap the day on the porch, or the nearby walkway.

DIY Pumpkin Topiary using faux pumpkins

Topiaries add such elegance to your home's entryway.

I was inspired by a pumpkin topiary in Southern Living magazine over a year ago and decided to make my own.

 Hey friends, welcome to the Fall PARTY!!

A change of seasons is always welcome. 

Here in South Texas, just ten degrees cooler makes a big difference,

So I go ahead and help it along by decorating for Fall in early September!
Can't hurt, right?

{Styling Bookshelves} from Cluttered to Styled

Do your bookshelves ever get "out of whack"? 
I have 2 tall and narrow bookshelves in the Master Bedroom
 on either side of the sitting area and bay windows.

These are working bookshelves, meaning I actually use and pull books from these shelves and READ them.

Bookshelves...you either love 'em or hate 'em!

They are great for storing all of your books, but sometimes hard to figure out just WHAT to put in them, besides books, of course.

Who's ready for a little change of season?

It's been a dry hot summer here in South Texas,

so when September hits, and football begins,

you know hope it's about to get a tad cooler.
