Fall Home Tour

September 19, 2017 by Sue Purdy 16 Comments

Although it doesn’t feel much like Fall around here, we’re still gearing up for all the beauty and coziness the season will bring. If you’re coming from North Country Nest, then welcome. Don’t you just love how Brett and Kelly have made their home so warm and comfy for the Fall?

I’m so happy to be teaming up with some truly talented ladies to bring you this Fall Blog Hop and a huge thank you to Angelina from Peonies and Orange Blossoms for hosting. Be sure to check out how my blogging friends have decked out their homes for Fall at the end of this post.

We’re going to start our tour in the formal living room, where I went with a neutral palette.

I added more Fall touches with antlers and pinecones along with some faux leaves from the dollar store.

I made these striped black and white pumpkins last year and they still work with the neutral scheme and also work with my Halloween decor too. Bonus!!!

This gold bull head was a score from Walmart and I took cues from that when I decided to use metallic accents.

These faux leaves brought just the right amount of orange to the white mantel and fit in well with the shiny metallic tones.

I also have my seasonal chalkboard all ready to go for Fall.

More metallic blended with Spanish moss and pinecones make for a unique tabletop display.

Right off the formal living room is the dining room, where the neutral colours are carried through.

I recently ditched my tired old pleather parsons chairs for these fun custom benches.

I used some old wood shutters as a table runner and piled some Fall decor on top.

These fun Fall plates were scooped up from the Dollar Tree for $1.25 each.

I think my favourite part of the table is the little wooden truck I thrifted years ago, complete with pinecones in the truck bed.

I used more black and white in the dining room, but instead of stripes, I went with a buffalo check.

My dining room is pretty neutral, so dressing up the table in a fun and quirky way is always a blast.

Heading through the kitchen is our den, which has pretty much been taken over by our new puppy. I did manage to do a little Fall decorating though on the mantel including adding a placement as artwork in Fall colours.

Thank you so much for joining me on this little house tour. Be sure to head on over to Hood Creek Log Cabin for the next stop on our Fall Home Tour Series.

Hi Sue…I love your black and white pumpkins! Anything that can transition from fall to Halloween is always a bonus in my books, too! And the black and white buffalo check tablecloth looks awesome, too!

Your home is beautiful! I love the bull head that you used over your fireplace. It is unique and looks great with your fall pumpkin display. The black and white pumpkins contrast so nicely with the others in neutral colors. I love the wainscoting in your dining room and also the gray wall color with the pretty stencil. I’m enjoying this week’s fall tour so much!

T-Shirt Carrots

With Easter around the corner, I was inspired to create something new and fun. I saw on Hometalk that someone had made “carrot” decor using an old sweater. It was adorable, but I wanted to keep my costs to a minimum, so I came up with the idea of using an old T-shirt. Here is […]
