The Lone Star

The "freeborn single star" mentioned in the Texas songs is inspiration for a common decorative theme in Texan home design. Large rustic metal stars are hung outside of houses and decorate gates and doors. Star-themed rugs, bath accessories and other items are available at local home décor stores.
The State Flag

The design of the Texas state flag is a common sight on living room, bathroom and bedroom items. Even towels, bedspreads and kitchen accessories can be purchased with the images. Flea markets and locally owned furniture stores are a good place to find state flag home decorations.
