Fall is definitely creeping in a bit in my part of the country.
We have cooler temps . . . well, cooler to me means it is not in the 90’s . . .
and I can see some slight changes in the color of the leaves on some trees.
That being said, it is time for my Fall Home Tour AND A GIVEAWAY!!!
So grab a seat and your favorite beverage and come along!
This week I am joining my very talented bHome bloggers for our bHome Fall Tour.
I want to take this time to thank our leader/coordinator of this tour,
Lidy of the beautiful blog and shop French Garden House . . . thank you Lidy!!
If you are coming from Christy’s of Our Southern Home, WELCOME!!!
Now that we are on the subject of “Welcome”,
I always welcome my friends and family with this special pumpkin
in the Fall, that has a special place next to the front door.
The porch decorated for Fall this year contains the color that I have used
in my home for Fall. Plums and Purples are the accent color for this year.
For more of my Front Porch for Fall, you can see it HERE.
With my home recently being placed on the market,
I have tried to keep my interiors and seasonal decorating neutral with the sense
of less is more….however, that is not an easy task for me. I love color.
The Great Room is filled with shades of blue and the pops of the plums and purple tones.
The coffee table vignette has changed from this original one
with a blue and white cache pot filled with orchids.
I recently created a vignette of the beautiful silk velvet PlushPumpkins in my foyer.
It did not take long to transfer them to the coffee table in the Great Room,
as I wanted to be able to enjoy and see them more throughout the day!
The breadboard returned to the table to provide more texture
and contain portions of the vignette on the table.
The antique French bamboo stool and books added to the table to
provide height and a pretty visual effect.
In having to keep my interiors less fussy with seasonal displays,
I just added a few touches here and there in the Media Room.
A pumpkin, a vase of wheat, and a vase of greenery and feathers
say “hello Fall” !
If you would like to see more of my Media Room for Fall, you can see it HERE.
When I was searching for Fall pillows for the Sunroom, I came across
beautiful plum velvet pillows at Pottery Barn. This actually set the tone
for my Fall colors this year.
The color is actually deeper and richer than the ones seen in the sunroom photos.
When I was at the store purchasing the pillows, I wasn’t exactly sure if the plum
pillows would coordinate well with the green in the wicker, but once they were placed
on the chair and loveseat, I so loved the look.
For more pretty views of the sunroom for Fall, you can see them HERE.
Fall is definitely in the air and hope you enjoyed this year’s little Fall tour,
from my front porch:
and my back porches:
to yours …..
I wish you all a most Happy Fall!!!

Hi Shirley, your beautiful home will not be on the market long! Everyone will surely love it!
I have pinned the pumpkins in the hope they will soon decorate my foyer.
Oh my, I love the texture and colors of these Plush Pumpkins. I have pinned them.
Oh, Shirley, Shirley, Shirley. I just don’t even know where to go after this. Your home is beautiful all year round, and fall is certainly no exception. Just beautiful! Do you have to bring that ivy on the porch in over the winter months, or are you able to keep it outside? It looks so lush and healthy. We have to bring everything in if we want a chance of it surviving with temps getting down below zero at times over the winter. Problem is there’s nowhere to put it!!! 😒 I wish I could build another level onto the house with a greenhouse on the south side!

Wow, what a great site for gorgeous velvet pumpkins! The colors are so beautiful especially the pink lemonade collection and the plum in your sunroom. Your home looks like it just came out of a photo shoot for a magazine!! It won’t last long on the current market. Best of Luck, Shirley!
So much inspiration! Love those pumpkins, the colors are so lush. Pinned!
Just visited Plush Pumpkins, and oh the colours! Sumptuous! Choosing would be difficult, however I know any of them would look beautiful in my home.
Oh, how I love your beautiful home! Everything is always so perfect. Visited the Plush Pumpkin site and drooled over all the beauty found there. Thank you for this giveaway. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Love the pumpkins and pinned them to my Fall board.
I just adore your house and decorating style. I love every change or addition.
Your home is so beautiful any season, but your fall touches are lovely. I visited Plush Pumpkins. They have so many beautiful colors of velvet pumpkins!
Penny at Enjoying The Simple Things’s recent post…I Know It Is Not Near Christmas Yet, But…
Your home is so lovely, truly magazine worthy. Loved the velvet pumpkins, the colors are so lush.

I love these pumpkins, although I lean more toward the blues and grays mixed with the traditional oranges.
Your plums and blues and purples are beautiful for Fall!!! I hope you have a quick sale so you don’t have that worry. Beautiful tour!!! I am at the beach with my GFs having a great time! Have a great week!!!!
Pinky’s recent post…Continuing the Tour, the Foyer
Shirley, whoever buys your home will be very blessed indeed! You however have the talent to make her look magnificent. The purple addition for fall really does work with your green sunroom furniture. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
Shirley, Your home is so beautiful no matter the season. I hate to see you leave this beauty but know your next home will hold all the promise of new ideas. I can’t wait to see what you do. These pumpkins are to die for. I would have never though purple pumpkins could be so beautiful. I’ve visited the site and was left speechless. The colors are outstanding.
What a beautiful fall home tour! I love the plum color in your sunroom. Those pillows are gorgeous in there, as well as the beautiful floral arrangement on the coffee table. Everything looks so pretty! Happy Wednesday, sweet friend!!!

Shirley, you are so talented! You have such a knack for adding just the right accessories for each season to make your home look and feel not just beautiful, but so welcoming. Thank you for always inspiring me in each post you share. Happy Fall, friend! I love being on this Fall Home Tour with you. Xo Lidy
Pinned these plush pumpkins and crossing my fingers I win!
Your home is exquisite this year! Love the Plush Pumpkins! I pinned them to my Fall board.
Shirley, you have added the perfect touches to welcome Fall. The plums and purples work so well in each space and are not the usual fall colors. From your porches to the sunroom, living room, media room…everything is exquisite!

Love the Plush Pumkins….so many pretty colors.
Visited the plush pumpkins.
Beautiful home and beautiful pumpkins would love to win!
Shirley, I absolutely love, love, love your home! And, I love what you did with the Plush Pumpkins…..they are gorgeous. And, their website is “to die” for with all of those beautiful items. I am originally from NC and if we were moving back, I definitely would be making an appointment with a realtor to view your home….it is lovely and definitely my style but looks like SC is going to be permanent for us.
Your home looks so lovely and I adore those purple pumpkins.

These plush pumpkins are so pretty and add just the right fall touch to any home. Love your fall decorating ideas. Good luck with your sale.
I just visited Plush Pumpkins again and I love all of the velvet pumpkins. I need some to go with my crackle glass pumpkins. I love the unexpected plums and purples you have used for your fall decor, Shirley! Those colors make my heart happy.
Love these plush pumpkins I have pinned and visited the site.

Thank you, Shirley! Your house is just lovely, as always. You continue to provide such great decorating ideas and inspiration to try in my own home. Love the velvet pumpkins and pinned them to my decorating board!
Your velvet pumpkins are stunning in your home tour pics! Velvet has always been a favorite fabric of mine. 😍👍🏻 The Plush Pumpkins pic is now on my Autumn Style board. Thanks for taking part in this giveaway! These would add some great shimmer and elegance to anyone’s home. 💕
I love all the colors in your home. The velvet pumpkins are beautiful. I pinned the image above and visited the site. Loved all the pumpkins but I think the seaside ones are my favorite.
Your home looks gorgeous with all the Autumn touches! I visited Plush Pumpkins and I just love their Autumn Trio of pumpkins. They are so pretty and the colors really do make it feel like fall!
Love your Fall color palette, and those pumpkins are amazing. I’ve been in love with the color groups Plush Pumpkin has available they just weren’t in my budget …ah to dream. I’ve bookmarked their site 😉
Those plum pumpkins make my heart sing!!! Love your Fall porch..
Hi Shirley ~ I love your books, pumpkins and breadboards in your fall decor! And those back porches are amazing!! Fun touring with you today! ~julie
Thanks for all your inspiration! Love the new Plum colored pillows. I pinned the Plush Pumpkins to one of my Fall boards.
Beautiful fall decorations, as always I love your home😊😊
I pinned the Plush Pumpkins on my autumn board…❤
Pinned to Thanksgiving board! These are beautiful and would coordinate so well for fall and the holidays in many rooms! Im ready to start fall decorating after your beautiful home tour- still have my seashells/summer out!
Pinned those beautiful pumpkins. Made some a few years ago in purple and wine colors. I’m off to decorate with them using some ideas I got from your post. Thanks for sharing.
I love, love, love the beautiful pumpkins abd have pinned them! Hope
I win them! Fabulous decor!
I love the plush pumpkins and pinned them to my Special Occasions board. Fall is truly a special occasion in our home. We have always made it that way. Love your plums!!
Shirley, thank you for another gorgeous fall tour. Looking back I can’t think of any decorating you’ve done that I haven’t loved. You’ve really been an inspiration to me, especially on those lazy days when I just couldn’t get going in my own home. But the thing that I have most loved is your genuine sweetness which always comes across in every post. We are seeing more and more color arriving in our little corner of the world…I have been enjoying my country drives through our hills and dales. Happy fall to you!
I love your tour with non traditional fall colors and I really loved the velvet pumpkins! Pinned!!

I did both: visited the site and pinned the image.
Love your home and the plush pumpkins..I visited the site and pinned to my Fall board.
I checked out the website to see all the lovely pumpkin colors available. So pretty!
Thanks for the lovely tour! Love the plum with the green. Visited Plush Pumpkins, now I’m drooling. :).
You have a beautiful home!! I love these plush pumpkins so much. I pinned them and went on their website and wanted to buy them all!
Shirley, how wonderful it is to see someone using rich color for the season!! You use color so well and it looks just beautiful in your lovely home!! So warm and welcoming!
Shirley, your home is breathtaking! You really know how to use color! Your photos make me me want to linger and take in every detail. I was admiring your front entry and those beautiful wood doors and then you showed us the back of your home with the porches and it really took my breathe away! It’s a dream home for sure. I love every room!
Love the decor! The Plush Pumpkins are adorable…I visited their site and pinned it.
Just beautiful! I love the addition of the plums and purples for fall especially in contrast to the green wicker in your sunroom. Your brushed gold watering can makes a perfect little fall vase for your plum alstroemeria and mums. Those wonderful velvet pumpkins are prefectly plush. ♥

Hello Shirley
Thank you for this pretty Fall home tour. Your home is so very lovely. The front porch looks so inviting & fall festive. And the back porch just blows me away! Wow! Looking forward to exploring more of your blog.
