Sharing the rest of my fall tour with you today in the family room and kitchen nook. I don’t go all out for fall, but enjoy adding a few things around the house. So many people do all the real pumpkins stacked inside and out and it’s a big to-do, but I just enjoy a simpler approach around here. Then I save up all my energy for Christmas! I do go all out for that holiday.
I’m still loving our new wool rug that I added in here a few months ago. It is very soothing and elegant. Again, I didn’t move all of Daisy’s things out of the room, or Daisy either. She’s my constant companion and sidekick around here.
This pretty print that I’ve had a long while has a bit of a fall feel with the turning leaves. I added some faux orange red leaves and a few candles and lanterns.
The Hello Fall sign is a fun addition with the bamboo easel.
I like simple and these candle holders are rustic and pretty too.
I didn’t even straighten up the pillows. As you can see, most are on the floor per my pillow hating hubby.
Miss Daisy is such good company. We love this girl!
She’s ended up in quite a few photoshoots lately, I think she likes to pose. My kitchen nook where I sit in the morning with my cup of coffee is a great reading chair.
Mark gave me that pillow in the front last year.
I change out a few things on these shelves for the seasons and keep it pretty simple too.
A couple of glass pumpkins and fall feeling accessories is enough to add some fall to the space.
Books and a faux pear on top.
I love this little thrifted oil painting I found years ago.
And a look at our smallish kitchen that’s mostly cleaned up. I don’t take pics of the kitchen that much, because it’s used all the time and there is usually clutter around.
That’s it for my fall tour this year. I hope you all enjoy fall this year and all that it brings with cooler weather. We’ll all be getting out sweaters and boots soon. I look forward to that! We are going up to New England in just 2 weeks so I know we’ll be packing some fall clothes for that trip.
really elegant but welcoming. what is it with pillows and husband’s?? I will be looking forward to your Autumn vacation tour photos. is there a better month than October ??
Yes to the husbands and pillows…apparently it is universal! But what a sweet pillow Mark got you. Everything looks so sunny and inviting, and I appreciate the “real life” touches. We have the dog beds everywhere too. Poppy sends Daisy a doggy kiss!
I love that you’re willing to show us your “real” life with pillow hating husband, dog toys and kitchen clutter. It’s normal! For any young homemakers that don’t have their house perfect all the time, some of the “perfect” blog photos can be depressing. I have been around long enough to know that perfect is not sustainable! 🙂
Hi, Janet, it sure is not sustainable so I don’t even try. I think people appreciate real life the most!
Lovely as always! Have fun on your trip and can’t wait to see those photos from New England! I will be taking notes! Lol!
I love your nod to fall with simple decorations and little Sophie posing in your pics! Also love your “keeping it real” photos….my husband hates pillows, too…what’s up with that?
It must be a man thing!
I love that pillow with tassels, it looks pretty on the floor. My husband is the same. I don’t even have that many any more. Have a beautiful time in New England.
I love how your family room turned out. Elegant but comfortable! Beautiful!
I like your fall touches and I especially like that the rooms aren’t all perfect. They feel lived in and real but at the same time very welcoming and attractive. Sometimes the Pinterest room pics look a little sterile.
Thank you, Sharo, the longer I blog, the more I like to share real life. I think more people relate to that. No perfection for me.
Your home is so welcoming! I love your kitchen and sitting area the most. That cabinet next to your chair is a great piece 😊. We are hoping to downsize this year. Waiting for that almost perfect place.
Your two-toned kitchen cabinets are so pretty and an idea I have on my list. Are you still in love with them?
Hi, June, yes we still love the two toned cabinets and I don’t see us ever changing them. They really give our smallish kitchen personality.
I like decorative pillows on my beds, but on the sofa where I sit – no thanks. And really not a big fan of them set up for a photo shoot. As I’ve aged, I’ve leaned more to simple and uncluttered, though sitting here looking at my coffee table and living area that surrounds me no one would believe that! 🙂 Happy Fall and all the other days! Enjoy the photos of your decor and sweet little Daisy.
I love that your pillow hating hubby bought you are pillow with a sweet saying on it as a gift!
I do some pumpkins and mums outside and just some seasonal florals inside and my ceramic pumpkins. Just a touch here and there!
I know, isn’t that funny?
Thanks for keeping it real…and oh so lovely. My husband and Mark are kindred spirits when it comes to pillows!
Happy Fall!!!

Love the look of your family room, Rhoda. Where did your beautiful chairs come from? (We actually live outside ATL)
Hi, Linda, I got those chairs from a vendor at Scott Antiques. It’s called Faulkner Furniture and they are out of NC and sell at Scott every month. You can choose fabrics and styles of chairs and get them delivered to the market for pick up. They are very reasonable in cost too.
