I’ve never lived in Texas, but I’m a Texan. I figure that since I’m named after a city there, most of my family lives there, and now, I have a bathroom decorated in that theme, I can be considered a Texan. (Real Texans would probably disagree, but that’s okay.)
While my brother was in town, he painted the bathroom two shades of blue – shower and sink area are a faint bluish white, and the toilet area is sky blue. It matches the Texas flag shower curtain and towels that I picked up at a Walmart in Texas. I think I mentioned before that my Aunt Derelys has her bathroom decorated like this, and I completely stole the idea from her. She also has a cowboy boot-shaped vase with silk bluebonnets (Texas state flower) and a photograph of bluebonnet flowers in the room. I might just need to keep an eye out for some decorations like this. I wonder what room Thomas is going to request be done in Swedish colors (sky blue and yellow) now…

She has also used one of my old boots to hold silk bluebonnets and Paintbrushes. Look around at garage sales for child size cowboy boots. It might be harder to find that kind of thing in Georgia though.
I have a small Texas flag hanging above my Cubicle at work. I haven’t lived in Texas since January 99. When people ask me why I’m so fanatical about Texas, I just say one thing.
Texas is not just a state, It’s a state of mind.
Chase,
You can take the Texan out of Texas, but you can’t take Texas out of the Texan.
The bathroom looks great! Actually the little glass boot was a beer glass that I got as a souvenir from a beer-hall in Berlin, Germany back in my exchange student days. It is called a bierstiefel in Germany.
where in TX are your family?
the bathroom looks great, btw.
The bathroom looks really good! The room looks so much brighter (:
Christy – I have family in Beaumont, Houston, Baytown, Dallas, Austin, Waco, etc. We’re a big family. :)
Where did you find this Texas flag decor? I am originally from Texas & now reside in Tenessee but would LOVE to find these items (& more) to decorate my master bath. I have already decorated my bedroom in red, white & blue & purchased borders for the bathroom. Now I need the shower curtain, towels, soap dispenser & other accessories.
Any help you can give me would be GREAT!!!
Thanks, Debbie
My son has done his bathroom like yours. The one thing I can’t find is a tissue box cover to match. Any ideas where to find?
Thanks,
