Fall Home Tour 2017

Home Tour, Holiday DecorSara Michelle B.23 Comments

Hello everyone (especially those of you hopping over from Seeking Lavender Lane!) Welcome! I am SO excited to be sharing my fall home tour with you today! 

This isn't just any home tour - this week I've paired up with over THIRTY bloggers who are also sharing their fall home tours (so many ideas for you!) and Kirklands, and one lucky winner will get a $1500 gift card to Kirklands! How awesome is that?

Without further ado, let's tour my house! 

HOME TOUR: 

My favorite room to decorate is our dining room! I think it is because 99% of the time it feels like I am in the kitchen, which overlooks the dining room, so I really get to enjoy the decor in this space! My favorite new piece this year is this "Thankful" sign from Kirklands. It fits so perfectly on our leaning bookcases and makes the perfect statement piece (literally).

I was also excited to get some new decor for outside, including this doormat and wreath! They totally liven up our entry and make our home festive. I also LOVE that the wreath lights up!

In the family room, I have to keep it relatively simple because most of the time my two boys, Miles (age 3) and Leo (20-months) are dive bombing on the couch, playing trucks, and basically taking over every inch of this space! At this stage in life, I try to keep the decor either durable or out of reach!

Here's a few other touches I added to the kitchen. A pumpkin candle and pumpkin scented soap are a MUST!

I also love fall decor at golden hour,  just as the sun begins to set. Doesn't the room just appear to be glowing? It is so cozy and welcoming!

And of course I had to include one more shot of this wreath at night because it is just so beautiful!

Fall Home Tour 2015

Fall Decor, Home Tour, My Home, Dining RoomSara Michelle B.13 Comments

Hello friends! So excited to share our early fall home tour today as part of the Farmhouse Fall Tour of Homes with 14 other amazing bloggers (and to show you our newly re-painted dining room in action!)

Of course the dining room is the hub of our home, so this is the area that gets the most love in terms of decorating for the seasons. This year I decided to paint ceramic pots the same color green as the walls and bring in some white mums for the perfect fall centerpiece. (I swear I kill mums faster than I can buy them, but they seem to be doing much better inside than outside - who would have figured!)

The white pumpkin candles, leaf plates, and light-up pumpkins are all from Pottery Barn from several years ago. The faux white and green pumpkins are from Smith & Hawken from probably a decade ago (does anyone else miss that store as much as I do?) and the small white pumpkin soup tureen's are from Williams-Sonoma from probably 3-years ago.

This new three tiered stand from Bungalow Home in New Albany, Ohio is the perfect addition to our kitchen! You can display so much with one of these without cluttering up your counter space!

I also decided to add a big white mum to the family room and some additional, cozy blankets and pillows. Just a few pumpkins are on the coffee table, because as you can imagine my sweet 1-year old boy thinks these are the coolest toys ever and loves chucking them across the room ;)

I also have a few pops of yellows, golds, and oranges throughout the kitchen to get more in the spirit!

The best part of all of the fall decor is how the lights and candles come to life and sparkle as the sun goes down. It smells like pumpkin spice and is downright warm and cozy!

I could sit in front of this fire for hours on a cool fall evening (and believe me, this is exactly what I did last night!)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the rest of the homes on this week's Farmhouse Fall Tour series! They are so beautiful, you don't want to miss it!
