My 2016 Eclectically Fall Home Tour

Have you guys started doing any fall decorating? No worries if you haven’t (it’s still technically summer, right?!) because I’m joining several of my blogging friends on a week-long early fall home tour that’s full of simple, inspiring ideas for you!Driven by decor fall home tour 2016
Our sweet host Kelly kicked off the tour today (be sure to head over to her beautiful blog Eclectically Vintage to check it out!) and then we got to tour through Jennifer’s amazing home on her blog Dear Lillie. Dear Lillie is always a feast for my neutral loving eyes  – Jennifer’s decorating style is stunning and I know you guys will love it! You can check out Dear Lillie’s home tour {here}.
Ok, ready to come peek around my house? As I take you guys on my tour, I’ll link up some sources for my fall decorations, but there’s also a full source list at the end of the post if you have questions about paint colors or where I found something. (post includes some affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement {here})
Before we head inside, let’s stop at our front door where I added a few simple fall decorations:

Fall porch with hydrangea wreath, large pumpkins on planters, and a trio of lanterns

I got {these lantern trios} when I decorated for fall last year and they transitioned over to the holidays so beautifully that I was excited to use them again this year. Since I’m a girl who likes her symmetry, I have two identical sets flanking our front steps.

Simple front porch decorations - a trio of lanterns with pumpkins

And since I kill anything and everything that I’ve ever put in {my planters}, I decided to go the lazy girl’s route this year and add some ginormous pumpkins instead of plants. I added just a little bit of {this} under the pumpkins to conceal any gaps between my pumpkins and the planters.

And did you notice my beautiful new hydrangea wreath? Janell gifted it to me (thank you!) from her Etsy shop where she makes the most beautiful wreaths – you can find my wreath {here} and explore all of the wreaths in Janell’s Etsy shop {here}.

Get the look:

Ready to come on inside? Our first stop is the dining room. As you can see, my love for black and white buffalo check is still going strong (I made my runner with fabric found locally but {this runner} is similar).

I went super, super simple for our centerpiece by filling up my favorite wood bowl with fresh peaches and a little bit of greenery from our backyard:

Peaches make a stunningly simple fall centerpiece - post includes link for that pretty wood bowl

For our placesettings, I found some small wood cutting boards at HomeGoods (the four thin ones came as a pack and then the two thicker ones on the end were purchased separately) and tied some greenery on with black and white ribbon.

For those of you who are new to my blog, my plate wall is one of my favorite things about our house – you can read more details about how I hung my plates {here}.

On the side of our dining room opposite the window is a built-in china cabinet that is a life-saver given the small size of our dining room:

I keep two extra dining chairs on either side of our china cabinet and added {these two gray velvet pillows} to cozy things up for fall:

Ready to head down the hall to our living room?

Family room in neutrals decorated for fall - part of a full fall home tour

For our mantel, I brought back a few art pieces from last fall including my DIY feather art, horse print, and Let’s Stay Home print and I added in a few pumpkins and a cute new chalkboard pumpkin fall printable:

My star pod adds some of that chunky natural texture that I love:

And some hydrangeas from our yard finish it off:

Adding fall to our family and living room is all about lots of plush, comfy pillows and throws! I bought this cream fringed throw several months ago and LOVE it. I actually just ordered a second one for our other swivel chair. And I found this new owl fabric last month and thought it was perfect for fall (you can find pillows in this fabric {here}). The price per yard is more than what I normally spend but by using an inexpensive black linen fabric for the back of the pillows I was able to get two 20″ pillows and a long lumbar one out of a single yard. The two square pillows are on our swivel chairs:

Love this pillow and plush throw combo - post includes links to both

and the lumbar pillow is on our sofa. Flanking the owl print lumbar pillow are two faux fur pillows that I picked up at Target last year (they’re Hope’s favorite!):

Great printed fabric made into lumbar pillow and paired with faux fur pillows

Other new fall additions to our living room are pretty simple – I’ve wrapped some books on our coffee table in fabrics that coordinate with my new owl print pillows:

Wrap a book in fabric to add color to your coffee table

and scattered a few pumpkins around the room, including one in a trophy cup:

A trophy cup filled with greenery and a baby boo pumpkin for fall

Moving on to our master bedroom, my planter head girl got a new ‘do with some more of our backyard hydrangeas:

Bedroom dresser painted gray with large round mirror, layered art, and wood slice lamp and shiplap walls

Unique planter filled with hydrangeas and layered art on dresser

Shop the look:

And our powder room got some new fall flowers in my vase holder (aka old house cup holder):

Stenciled bathroom walls, twin scones flanking medicine cabinet and pedestal sink

Creative use for a built-in soap dish - use as a spot for flowers!

You can get the deets on this bathroom makeover (including info on the stenciled walls) {here} if you missed that post.

Right next to our powder room you’ll find our home office – I’m not done decorating this space for fall but I got a start by adding a few pumpkins and some fresh sunflowers to a gathering basket that I picked up at The Country Living Fair a few years back:

Gallery wall with console decorated for fall - part of a full fall house tour

The stems of the sunflowers are in a glass baking pan in the bottom of the basket to keep them alive:

Get the look:

And the final stop is our kitchen where I just started adding the first fall touches by decorating our nesting herb crates and baker’s rack:

Fall touches added to our kitchen bakers rack

And yes, those are those same ole hydrangeas again (what can I say, my favorite kind of flowers are the ones that are free!).

Fall hydrangeas hung on wall in nesting herb crates

Update! The second part of my home tour (including our master bedroom, foyer, and more of our home office) can now be found {here}!

I hope you guys enjoyed your tour of my fall home! Now it’s time to head on over to the next stop on today’s tour – the home of my friend Cassie of Cassie Bustamante. This girl has endless creativity and is a thrifting master so I know she’ll have some amazing fall inspiration to share! Hop on over and check out Cassie’s fall home tour {here}!

And all week long Good Housekeeping is going to be featuring pics from Eclectically Fall house tours so be sure to check their site throughout the week! You can also follow along with the hashtag #EclecticallyFall on Instagram for loads more fall decorating ideas. Hope you guys enjoy all of the fall inspiration!

    Kris,
    I love the way your home transitions between seasons with just a few tweaks and a lot of natures bounty (faux or real). I love it all! The owl fabric is wonderful. Did you make the pillows yourself? I’ve got some black and white buffalo check fabric and have been debating about doing it myself. I’ve never put a zipper in a pillow before but I guess I should give it a try. 🙂
    xo,
    Karen

Loved your dinning room and your color choices for your walls. Not to forget the Gallery wall(the best one I have ever seen), and your living room couch with the pillows and the adorable little dog. Great Tour, and Happy Fall!!!
