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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rug | Rope Basket (similar)
And who can resist a basket full of mums?
Especially pretty, yellow ones!
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!
In the breakfast nook, I wanted to create a cozy table vignette.
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.
I also made some pumpkin cupcakes because: fall.
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!
