Creating My Fall Home

I love fall, don't you? It's cable knit sweaters, football, and the gorgeous colors that nature brings us. This year I wanted to do something fun. I picked the vibrant color of orange to be my Fall accent color . It reminds me of pumpkins and leaves! It works as a great compliment to the teals and neutrals I have throughout the house. It's a beautiful combination! Hopefully, you will enjoy a quick peek into my fall home!

Welcome to my Fall Home!

The Foyer got a big makeover, because I had nothing! I moved this small table and created a warm and welcoming vignette. I found this beautiful table, lamp, and small box at HomeGoods.

Fall in the Family Room

I usually start by changing out my throw pillows. That's the quickest and easiest way to create a new look without too much out of pocket. In my case I decided I was going to give myself a budget of $150 to $200, buuuut I only spent $135. I found this beautiful pillow combo on the left at Kohl's - except the owl pillow, HomeGoods! - on mega sale! One pillow was only $3.29!!! I was so overjoyed I think the people in the store thought I was crazy! ;-)

I wanted it to feel cozy and warm. After I hung the drapes and simply put in the new pillows, it was amazing how different the room felt! The kids had complained that the house didn't feel like a home and now they're all smiles! That's exactly why I do this. Creating my nest for my family is my ultimate goal!

 This cozy orange throw is a family favorite! We are all fighting for this spot!

 I tied my simple glass vases with burlap and ribbon and adorned it with a cute group of acorns to give it that fall touch!

 I love the new drapes from PB, they are the Emory Drape in Sable and the Kendra Sheer in brown. I paired them together for more dramatic look! Looooove!

The Mantel

 I used birch wrapped small buckets with succulents on the mantel to add some natural texture.

 I wish these could be real, and soon I will have beautiful pick of fall leaves and branches. For now stems of fall picks, grasses and branches from Michael's will have to do. I try to pick things that look realistic, so it does look like I went out and collected these from nature!

 Owl pillow - HomeGoods!

Teal burlap ribbon was used to create color and texture on the wine table. Tucked in a fall pick I made using these few items:

Fall Feast for Four

Rusty orange fabric and more teal burlap ribbon were the perfect touch to create my fall table. I love the owl salt and pepper shakers and cute fall mugs that read "Thankful", which is what I truly am! Both were Better Homes and Gardens from Walmart! 

I tied cute little paper gift tags to each of our pumpkins with our Initial. I layered different placemats to give it more dimension and texture.

I never throw away jars! I use them for small arrangements and they make great container's for things like silverware. A sprig of leaves tied with jute string brings fall to my "set the table centerpiece".

Fall in the Dining Room

The new drapes make the room! I was so happy they turned out as good as I hoped!

I wanted to keep it simple and casual in the dining room, so I used natural textures, like linen and burlap, with natural wood for casual fall gatherings with friends.

I use these fall picks throughout the rooms to add a quick touch of fall foliage. 

Well that's it! I hope you enjoyed my fall tour and I inspired you to bring in a little fall to your home! 

 

Y'all come back!
