Hey, friends! It’s fall home tour day! My dear friend Marty from A Stroll Thru Life hosts such fun seasonal tours and I’m always honored to be included! I’m going to show you how I’ve transitioned my home from summer into fall (goodbye beautiful floral throw pillows). 

fall-button-2

If you’re clicking over from Our Fifth House, welcome! Isn’t Carmel the cutest? And that Sixth House deserves all the heart eyes! Anyway, I’m so glad you stumbled onto my little corner of the interwebs. I hope you will grab some iced coffee and snoop around 🙂

Oh and before I get started, I feel the need to preface this by saying that I shared my “real home tour” earlier this week so while you won’t see any pink castles or circus tents in this home tour, they’re still there and my two kids humored me for a couple of hours so I could shoot this fun tour! 😉

When you first step in our home, you’ll notice this entryway that I’ve cozied up for fall. Our DIY wood organizer is usually full of backpacks and bags so it was fun to add some fall touches. I especially love this oversized print I had printed at Staples for a few bucks and just created a simple hanging frame.

fall-home-tour-10

Our living room is the heart of our home. It gets the most use by far. You’ll usually find us all pile on the sofa or the floor watching movies or playing My Little Pony. My favorite thing in the world is packing this sofa with cozy throw pillows. For fall, I wanted simple and warm. My striped pillows have made it through several seasons now. I love how they can transition through.

fall-home-tour-13

Blue Solid Pillow Cover | Gray Velvet Pillow Cover | Plaid Blanket (Scarf)

I added another solid navy that I added some fun yarn pom poms to.  I also mixed in two other solids with texture. I love mixing colors and textures to create a layered look, especially when I’m using solid colors.

fall-home-tour-9

Ottoman | Console | Striped Pillow | Striped Throw

The console table got a few touches of fall as well. I added some eucalyptus branches and a few pumpkins.

fall-home-tour-11

Rug | Rope Basket (similar)

And who can resist a basket full of mums?

fall-home-tour-12

Especially pretty, yellow ones! 
fall-home-tour-16

I loved adding fall touches to my decor while keeping with my signature blues and whites. Last year I spray painted these navy pumpkins with gold stems and they held up well in the attic. Not bad for a $1 faux pumpkin!

fall-home-tour-3

In the breakfast nook, I wanted to create a cozy table vignette.
fall-home-tour-2

I used a scarf as a tablecloth, pulled out my plaid pillow covers from last year and littered the table with faux pumpkins and artichokes.

fall-home-tour-4

I also made some pumpkin cupcakes because: fall.

fall-home-tour-6

And I’ll leave you with my favorite shot from this fall home tour! I wish you a season of joy filled memories and pumpkin everything!

 

Don’t forget to head over to Linda’s place, It All Started With Paint to see her incredible tour.

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
