Fall is the time to bring out the autumn hues inside the house as the leaves will start to change outside. Enjoy this tour of my home for the fall season as I add some color and natural textures around the house. You don’t have to go overboard to add some fall to your home. No piles of pumpkins for me, but do what makes you happy!
If you’re stopping over from Christy at Our Southern Home, I know you loved her house, it’s gorgeous! Welcome!
Come on in the front door and this is what you’ll see, the living room to the right and the staircase right inside the door. This time last year, that box molding wasn’t on the foyer wall. So glad that Mark did that project last year, what a difference it has made in our home.
A few sprays of orange leaves on the coffee table, along with some white pumpkins is all I used in the living room this year.
I love this room and how it came together. That’s a vintage brass and glass coffee table I found at a thriftstore for $20, one of my best finds ever.
Little faux white pumpkins piled under glass is a great little accent in the living room.
I like to use what I have and so I move things around from year to year.
The foyer table is another area that I love to decorate for the seasons. Fall is no exception so I pull out my tried and true fall accessories and use them differently every year.
That dough bowl gets a lot of different looks throughout the year. Piled with fall faux pears and stems, along with pinecones is always a good look.
Once you collect some natural things like this, you can keep them for years.
This year I really made use of the dried limelight hydrangeas growing outside in my yard and they are so fun to decorate with. I’ve had this little easel and painting for a few years too and love to change it out for the seasons.
Another view of the dough bowl.
Mixing up the foyer table gets my creativity going every season.
Moving on to the fireplace and mantel, I added more faux stems in here.
Faux fall leaves from Michaels and some dried ones too in the pitcher make a pretty display.
Textured wood candlesticks are a great mix too.
That’s an original oil painting of pears that I’ve had for years.
Those fall hued leaves really pack a punch against the white shutters.
In the kitchen sitting area, I added mostly soft greens with the white pottery pieces I leave on my shelves.
Green and white is a soft and natural look for fall.
I’ve had that big pear for years and got it out again this year. It was from Ballard Designs from long ago. I love them mix of wood, white and green tones.
That’s it for my fall tour this year. I’m also joining a whole group of talented bloggers this week who are also sharing their fall tours too, so don’t miss out on those. Please click through and visit them as well, I know you’ll enjoy them!

Your home is so cozy and beautiful Rhoda! I really love the dough bowl filled with all the fall goodies.
Love all the beautiful pops of color in your fall decor. It’s a bit of whimsy in a lovely traditional setting. You certainly have an eye for interior design.
Do you recall where you purchased the faux gold pears? I really like that color.
Your home is beautiful, cozy, and warm as always!
HI Kathy, I’ve had those pears for so long and don’t remember where I got them, probably a yardsale years ago. Here are some that look similar:https://rstyle.me/+Yx4HKZWSJ-OgU6HqBdQ8bw
Loving all the pops of color, Rhoda. It’s refreshing for fall!
It all looks wonderful, Rhoda, but that box molding really does make all the difference! And this is going to sound weird since it’s such a small thing, but probably my favorite thing in your home is that little bamboo easel on your hall table. Isn’t that funny? Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
Thank you Christy! It is funny, I do get asked about that little easel pretty often. It was a long ago yardsale find and I still love it.
Rhoda your home is just such a beautiful place. I love your fall touches so much! That pear painting is gorgeous – it reminds me of one of my mother’s paintings that she painted years ago that I have, it made me smile! Happy Fall!
You have done so much to make your new home an inviting and inspiring place to enjoy. I love that box molding, it makes all the difference in your entrance. Your decor is always so pretty and this year is no different. Thanks so much for joining the tour again this season, always love having you.
Your home is decorated beautifully for fall Rhoda…so many gorgeous details. And I absolutely LOVE your box moulding, it is fantastic…what a transformation! We have a similar entryway and I’ve always wondered how I could add this type of feature, and now I know…I love what you’ve done so much.
Rhoda, I am always so inspired by you! I love the natural elements and sweet little feathers. Its truly a joy to be on tour with you!
Your Fall decorations look so pretty & just the right amount for me. Living in Florida, we we don’t have changing of the leaves, so I can’t get too exciting about adding Fall decor. I could do something like you did though. It’s just enough. You decorate in such a tasteful way. I hope your parents will enjoy their new life style and the help that they will have.
Love your Fall home, so cozy and warm! I can’t get enough of your foyer with that grand staircase and all the trim work you’ve added.
I love your style! Everything here is lovely. What color is the cabinet piece in your living room painted? I love how it stands out from your other trim and woodwork!
HI Liz, thank you! That cabinet is a find that Mark found from Havertys years ago. It came that color and is a soft gray green shade.
Thank you for sharing your decorated fall home with us. It is beautiful as always when you share. Love all your individual approaches to each detail how you decorated. I guess one of my unexpected and favorite are the feathers you used in the wooden tray. That is a splendid touch that’s different for fall. I’m going to borrow your idea. Hope your Mom and Dad are doing ok.
Everything looks so pretty and fall is such a cozy season for decorating. I especially love the room off your kitchen.
Your house looks beautiful. Really gets me into the season. Did you dry the leaves in the vase yourself? I have tried drying leaves so many times and no matter what they always curl up. Any suggestions on keeping them from curling?
Kim
HI Kim, those leaves in the living room and on the mantel are faux. I used to try to cut them from outside but our leaves don’t even turn until November so I started using faux last year. These are from Michaels.
You make your home look elegant & homey I don’t know how you do it. Bless you for sharing
