Welcome to my cottage style Fall Home Tour. First, I want to thank the fabulous Marty of A Stroll Thru Life for hosting this week long tour of blogger’s fall homes! You can find the complete Fall home tour schedule for the week at the end of this post. If you are visiting from Making Home Base, thanks for stopping by! Wasn’t Chelsea’s home gorgeous!
If you are new here, my name is Doreen and fall is my favorite season! To me Fall = Cozy!
Fall Home Tour – Living Room
The watercolor feather wall charts are a DIY project that I shared HERE. The watercolor feather prints are part of my FREE Printable Library for my email subscribers.
I kept the pillows on my sofa neutral with a pair of grid patterned pillows and this bird accent pillow. Sadie was in the mood to pose today!
I found some amazing white heirloom pumpkins this year. And created a vignette by sitting them inside a grapevine wreath and then added some tree branches to the wreath.
Look at this image carefully. Did you notice that my wood lanterns don’t match? I absolutely could not believe that I didn’t notice this until I was editing my photos!!!
Now, let’s move into the dining room.
Fall Home Tour – Dining Room
I continued the neutral fall decor in this space with soft shades of yellow, ivory, and gray. Here’s a look at my antique bucket bench and corner cupboard styled with white pumpkins, wheat, and what ironstone mixed with newer pieces. I also brought out some of my vintage pewter and mercury glass.
My tablescape is pretty, but not fancy; with two burlap table runners instead of a tablecloth. I used my pale yellow Pottery Barn Emma dinner plates, an off white salad plate, a gray soup bowl and gray tweed napkins for each place setting.
The centerpiece of faux pumpkins and gourds in a primitive wood bowl and then added some seed pods, branches, corn stalks, leaves, etc.
The place cards are small felted wool pumpkins and you can read more about them HERE.
Now, let’s head out to the screen porch.
Fall Home Tour – Screen Porch
Here on the porch is where I brought in some color with traditional orange and rust shades mixed with aqua. Most of my summer porch decor featured aqua, so I just brought in some fall accents to complete the look. The most obvious are the orange pumpkins! I also found some bittersweet and other berries and the golden mum at a local farm stand.
I found the pretty “gather” lumbar pillow, the multicolored throw, and paisley patterned pillows at HomeGoods!
And, the blue ball jar and that amazing Hubbard squash fit right in too!

Your dining room was my favorite room. The neutral colors are so soothing. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

Beautiful tour….love your mantel!!
So beautiful!!! I love the wreath with the pumpkins and dried leaves on your entry dresser and the centerpiece on your kitchen table. I find it difficult to decorate in neutrals this time of year, but you have mastered it beautifully. Will definitely be using your ideas in my own home this fall – thanks for sharing – I just REALLY LOVE IT ALL!!!!!

I really enjoyed my tour of your fall décor. As someone who loves the rich bold colours of fall, I was thoroughly intrigued and amazed at how enamoured I was with the neutral take you created. And to see your screened porch, I can see you definitely know how to do both version well. Fantastic!
Your home looks so beautiful decorated for fall. I really like your sunporch.
Gorgeous as always! I really like the birds on the mantel. Do you know where you got them by chance?
Beautifully done! Elegant!
Absolutely stunning fall tour!!! Love your style and decor.

Wow! Your home is beautiful! I love how you decorate for fall with "non-traditional" fall colors/neutrals such as the white pumpkins. I typically don't like Fall decor because of the colors, but I might have to re-think it after seeing your home tour! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your home is just amazingly beautiful! So much inspiration. I'm in love with your mantel…and the little snippet of your kitchen! I'm off to see more of that 🙂
What a beautiful tour, Doreen! I love it ALL!!:) The colors and textures are just perfect and make it so cozy and comfy!! Thank you for sharing!
Your home is just gorgeous, Doreen! I cannot get enough of your beautiful porch, I love the pillow and the throw blanket in there. So many details throughout your home, I love it all!
Fabulous Doreen! I love that gather pillow. That was just one of many things that jumped out at me. Your home is totally ready for the season. It looks beautiful. Enjoy!
It's all magazine worthy! love the sweet kitty next to your wonderful bird pillow!
Oh my goodness, absolutely stunning. I love the subtle, neutral tribute to fall. It is so classy, and yet so inviting. I particularly love the pewter colored pheasants. It's all amazing. Thanks for inspiring the world. Cheryl @ http://www.rufflesandrifles.com
Neutrals done so well! Love that screened porch! Happy to be on the tour with you!
This is all SO beautifully done! Love all of the details, thanks for sharing! I am curious, where did you happen to find your grey pincushion chair? I'm on the look out for some myself.
Wow what a beautiful home tour Doreen! Your use of fall's subtle colors with the beautiful textures of autumn is simply stunning. And I love love love your screened in porch and that gorgeous light fixture! A great spot to enjoy these early fall days and evenings.
