It’s October. I’m ready to pull out my scarves, my sweaters, my boots. But alas, the mercury is still rising to the mid-90’s here in Central Texas. Well  if I can’t wear autumnal outfits yet, at least I can decorate my home with warmth. I head to one of my favorite places for fall inspiration, Earthscapes Garden Center. As their sign says…”It’s so much more!”

Inspiration greets you at the door.

Mike and Kay Lynch have owned and operated Earthscapes since 1987. These former Aggies, are horticulturists extraordinaire, and landscapes aren’t the only thing they have a knack for designing.

No matter what the season, Mike and Kay keep design ideas flowing in their shop…especially at the holidays.

And so it was today, when I dropped by to see their latest fall vignettes.

Fuzzy owls nestle in fall wreaths to add some whimsy.

Personal Style is all about making choices. Choose how you want to accessorize–whether it be your clothing or your home.

Notice how the mirror behind creates depth.

Add a little autumn to unexpected places.

…with woodsy ornaments.

Create tablescapes using a theme. Vary heights and textures.

Yes,they have other collegiate ornaments. But team loyalty comes first!

In a few weeks I’ll go back to get inspired for Christmas. I’ll pick up a poinsettia, and so much more! See you then, Mike and Kay.
