If you just stopped in from Jennifer’s place at The Old Painted Cottage, then welcome! And if you didn’t, make sure you go over and check out her lovely home tour too!

Fall Home Tour Dining Room

I punched up the color in my dining room this year and raided a big berry bush in my yard! I’ll be talking more about that next week and will show you how I made the wreath in the photo above as well. You may recall that last year I went with a much more subtle palette and muted tones, you can see that here.

Fall Home Tour Gold Mirror

I added a couple of urns to my dining room that I found on sale at Home Depot for only $35 each! These were a snap to fill, I just placed a couple of Pumpkins in them and more Berries.

Fall Decor Wheat Stalks

I snagged these Wheat Bundles at Home Goods! Yay! They finally opened one in our area! I love white Pumpkins so I had to sneak a couple in, if you look closely there is a second one inside of my china cabinet! I needed it to fill up some empty space, so in it went.

Fall Berries

More Pumpkins and Berries, I love how the oranges match almost exactly!

Fall Orange Berries

Fall Tablescape

I decided to set my table buffet style, rather than with place settings like I normally do. I like the more casual look of it, and I think it shows off my antique Brown Transferware pieces nicely!

Gold Chandelier

More berries in the Chandelier!

Fall Transferware with Pumpkins

Fall Home Tour Living Room

In the living room, I went with more muted tones, although I jazzed up with some touches of silver, like the huge Mercury Glass Pumpkin on my Coffee Table. You can see how this room looked previously from the Summer Tour of our Home.

Fall Home Tour Mercury Pumpkin

The Mercury Pumpkin goes will with the Book Page Pumpkins that I made. I also brought back the Horse Print that I had up last Winter. Everyone asks me if that’s one of my graphics, but I’m afraid it’s not. Sorry!

Fall Home Tour Book Page Pumpkin

I added some dried wheat to my Antique Ironstone Pitchers for a little texture.

Fall Home Tour Artichokes

More texture with the silver Artichokes.

Living Room Chairs

I just picked up that rusty Orb from Marshalls, and I’m kind of in love with it.

Fall Home Accessories

In this corner I traded out the antique print that was here previously for a new mirror with an interesting shaped frame. I pulled together old and new accessories to make up this vignette.

Seasonal Decor Fall

And yes, I loved the rusty orb so much I bought 2 of them! Shhh! Don’t tell Mr. Fairy!

Fall Acorn Decor TJ Maxx

Loved these cute oversized wooden Acorns, so much that I decided to display them in their own house!

Rusty Orb Decor

I collect these old concrete urns, they look great indoors and out!

Fall Mantel Ideas

Our Fall Vintage Mantel is about all that you will see in the Family room. If you read my blog, you may know that our kitchen is being totally remodeled right now, and the family room has become the overflow catch all room during the construction phase. I was able to pull the mantel together and that was about it. I layered the mantel up with family heirlooms and vintage finds.

Fall Mantel Antlers

I used this mirror as a back drop to my grandmother’s antique print. I actually purchased the mirror at Walmart, it’s part of the Better Homes and Gardens collection. I think the frame is so pretty and it was such a great price!

Fall Mantel Wheat Bundle

A few Hydrangeas from our Garden, some old books (I’ve got lots of those!) and more Ironstone.

I hope you enjoyed the Fall Tour of our Home! Make sure you stop by Melaine’s blog at My Sweet Savannah tomorrow to continue on with the tour! There will be 3 more beautiful homes for you to check out then!

    Karen, I love the rich, lush feel of your home. It has a moody quality to it with the wall colors you’ve selected. They ground the rooms, and the texture and visual weight of the adornments all command their own bit of attention. Everything is so perfectly balanced. It was a treat to tour your home. I hope the kitchen reno is going well!

    Hi
    I followed your link from your Facebook page and I’m sat here jaw dropping, tongue hanging out! Here in the Uk we don’t dress for Autumn but I totally wish we did, you guys make it so much fun! I love what you have done in your lovely home, perhaps I should see if I could start a new trend over here, eh? Lol

    Karen, your fall touches are lovely. I love the orbs too and the way you filled the urns with pumpkins. I have a large clock in my foyer from Better Homes and Gardens/Walmart and I love it. It’s nice quality. Thanks for the tour.

      Thank you Pam! I just checked the can, I painted the room 10 years ago and I don’t remember the name of the color, but the code is 127A and the paint is Ace Hardware brand, in Eggshell. I hope that helps!

    Karen your home is absolutely, positively STUNNING!! I loved the contrast of the pops of bright color in your dining room to the more subtle, muted tones in the other spaces. Just gorgeous!!

    Oh Karen. That’s all I can say…. just OH KAREN!!!! Stunning, and so many wonderful ideas!. Being Jewish, we don’t celebrate Christmas, but after the High Holy Days, we celebrate Sukkot, the fall harvest festival. I always started decorating in September for autumn, and then added Halloween, and then in November, switched out goblins for turkeys. As my kids have gotten older and left the nest, I’ve let the decorating slide…. You have rekindled my enthusiasm.

    Thanks you so much!!!

    OOOoooh, loved how you used the pyracantha berries. I used some in a church foyer arrangement at my wedding, adding them to bronze-y tea roses, russet-tipped yellow sweetheart roses, greens, and twisted grapevine, I put terraced round trays of grass with little scroll-sawn sheep “grazing” to the side of the arrangement, and in the sanctuary I had more terraced trays on the altar between two calamondin orange trees, roping of twined ivy, grapevine, and pyracantha berries, and a row of potted white mums in front of the altar. The brilliant orange of the berries really complemented the roses in the arrangement and brought out the color of the calamondin oranges on the trees. Made everything pop.

    Your color scheme for your living room is outstanding. I love that rich gray and the mercury glass pumpkin. The oranges go beautifully. Kudos! You can change out with so many accent colors for different looks, too. If I may ask, wherever did you get those wonderful giant acorns?

      Thank you J! You are correct they are Pyracantha berries! Your wedding decor sounds stunning!! Thanks so much for taking the time to describe all of that to me, I could really picture it!
      The Acorns are from TJ Maxx, I saw them at Marshalls too and you may be able to get them at Homegoods as well, since they are all owned by the same company. I hope that helps!

    So pretty…I’m heading off to find fake pumpkins today. Silly story that makes me despair of the future…last year my teen daughter hosted a Halloween party. We spray painted a huge pumpkin silver for the buffet table. One boy was amazed that we could get a pumpkin to grow silver. But he noted that his mom had a pink pumpkin and wasn’t it amazing what plants could do! Yikes, this kid needs to get out in the dirt.

    I’m really loving this fall home tour series. It’s interesting to see how each home is infused with the personality of each specific homeowner. You home is gorgeous! I’ve heard to much about you so I’m glad I stopped by. I’ll be here more often looking for graphics for projects too.

    Ooooohhh, what a lovely home! Would you mind sharing where you scored those two gray chairs in your living room? We are in the process of upgrading our furniture and am so in love with them (as well as everything else in your post!). Hope you enjoy many happy fall memories in these rooms!

    They will listen to what you have to say if you can relate to them in a
    way that makes sense. these are some of the more
    common instant messaging lingo that many people use as they type away to friends,
    family, and co-workers. Twitter has as effectively grow to be the new trend
    of Search Engine Optimization. First, you can have a Twitter logo at your
    blog or email. For an up-front investment, you can build a base followership of a few
    hundred to a few thousand followers.

    Hi Miss Karen ~

    I adore your table setting and especially love your wooden centerpiece. Can you tell me where I might be able to find one…or three?!!

    Happy Fall!!

    It will take up far less space than if you had various separate machines to do all the different functions for you.
    Designers and engineers have seen a reduction in
    product development lead times with prototype models produced and delivered within days not weeks.
    Also great care should be taken when buying one in order to look at how
    much the consumable items such as the ink toner costs.
    No wonder then they help us, both individuals and large companies in cutting costs related to printing.

    Brother actually released the first high speed dot matrix
    printer in 1971.
