it's all about the hospitable home

Fall Home Tour

As I start to gather ideas about how I am going to decorate my home

for Christmas, I wander about the house enjoying the Fall decor that I created this year.

For me, it is always sad to put away decor of the previous season,

however, exciting to bring out the decorations for the Season of Joy.

Before I put the Fall decor away, I decided to do a recap of my home for Fall this year.

It all started with the front porch.

with the link.

The Fall Front Porch using the colors of orange and blue.

The Great Room dressed for Fall with both of neutral tones and accents

of bold colors and animal prints.

I even did a little Fall craft this year in covering this glass pumpkin

with a beautiful blue and white paper.

The Sunroom is one of the first rooms in the house of which I decorated for Fall or

any season for that matter. It was a room of softer colors this year, of blues, greens,

and lavender.

The Dining Room has had few changes for this Fall Season.

From a table dressed for a Post Thanksgiving tablescape . . .

. . . to a simple Fall centerpiece of the soft glows of candles, antlers, and pinecones.

. . . to the bright colors of Fall with a Traditional Fall centerpiece

of Fall leaves and the bounty of Fall

tucked into a vintage tool box that reminds me of my Dad.

I hope you have enjoyed my home dressed for Fall this year.

I so look forward to presenting my home dressed for Christmas, the Season of Joy.

Wishing you all a most beautiful Fall day!

    Shirley, your home looks absolutely beautiful adorned for Fall! Like you, it always makes me sad to take the decor down especially after Christmas. I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, we are going to both my parent’s and in-law’s houses. Therefore, I am probably going to start my Christmas decorating next week, and I am pretty excited about that. I hope that you have a great day!!!

    I did my civic duty and voted this morning. Came back home depressed (I don’t like ANY of the presidential choices)and sat down to my ‘puter. Here’s Shirley with her beautifully decorated home and lifts my spirits! Thank you, thank you, thank you. My bp’s down and my pulse rate calm. *bliss*

    Absolutely lovely! I love fall and as wonderful as the Christmas holiday is – there is no comparison to the lovely colors our fall season brings us.

    In your bedroom I noticed the lovely secretary. I would love your thoughts on how to style it.
    Mine is in the living room and I have actually moved my large hutch in to the living room as well.
    I have a large wall that needed a filler – tired of having two sofas in that room. The dining room and living room are one long room.

    Everything in your fall decorating is stunning! I just noticed the darling bamboo stool with the pumpkins sitting atop. The stool is unique and I hadn’t noticed (seen) it before. A new find? Regardless, it fits just perfectly in your decor. Thank you for giving us a last glimpse of your beautiful fall decorating.

    Your decorating is beautiful, and not at all overdone. I especially like your centerpieces and the wreath in your dinette window. I can’t wait to see your Christmas decorating.

    Shirley,
    I especially love all of your Fall tablescapes! I just noticed when looking at your pictures all the pineapple touches. I believe I saw a pineapple lantern on your front porch along with pineapple sconces and a beautiful pineapple chandelier in your dining room.

    I just bought two beautiful bright and shiny gold pineapples from HomeGoods to use in my Christmas décor. I too always get a little sad when packing away my décor from one season to another because it always reminds me how quickly the season has passed.

    Thank you for the beautiful tour, everything is perfection. This year has moved with the speed of lightning, can’t believe Christmas is less than two months away. Seems I just put all the Christmas decorations for 2015 away.

    Shirley, you amaze and delight. I’ve missed some posts this fall, so I was really grateful to see this tour. Your home truly is beautiful, and I LOVE the way you change things up but always remain true to your signature style. You’re an inspiration!
