Good morning and welcome to Southern Hospitality if you’re new here!
I’m kicking off the BHome Fall tour today, a group of talented ladies who are ready to show off their Fall homes. Even though I’m not completely ready to show this house off yet, I couldn’t resist trying to get in on some of the Fall tours going on in blogland right now. I’ll confess it’s really hard this time of year, because everyone pulls out all the stops when it comes to photographing and putting their best foot forward for these tours, all the way til Christmas and it can be quite daunting trying to keep up. I never feel like I can keep up with all the beauty out there, so I just do the best I can do, especially with the recent move. I probably shouldn’t have signed up for this tour, but here I am, so welcome if you’re new here!
I want to welcome you from Kim at Savvy Southern Style, who is sharing her Fall updates in her master bedroom. so don’t miss out on seeing Kim’s updates, she’s has fantastic style that you’ll love.
We recently moved in our new house just a few short weeks ago, so are definitely not all put together and picture perfect (well, I’m never really picture perfect on any of my tours), but today I’m sharing a Fall mantel that I hope you’ll enjoy. It’s fun to have a new mantel to decorate and being in a new house has all sorts of fun possibilities and I’ve only just begun to get this house looking pretty. That’s the part I love the most.
That being said, welcome to the B Home Fall tour of homes and I hope you enjoy my little corner of the world.
As I mentioned, we just moved in a few weeks ago and it’s been one project after another, getting things painted and just trying to get settled in and living here.
The mantel in our new family room was the prefect spot to add some Fall goodies, so I just pulled out things I have on hand that reminded me of Fall and cozy comfortable living. Fuzzy throws in a basket and a bamboo chair add some Fallish feels to the vignette.
An aqua vase holds some fig leaves from my dad’s yard along with red leaves from a dogwood tree. We don’t have a lot of leaves turning here yet, but in a few more weeks, we’ll have lots of colored leaves out there.
I’m using a mirror I had above the mantel, along with this wicker and metal basket with leaves and I’ve had a long time, I think I found that at a long ago yardsale. Pinecones always speak Fall to me, so those are included too, along with some faux golden pears. I just love pears and their yellowy tones remind me of Fall leaves.
Another large green pear sits atop a wicker riser and two glass candlesticks flank the mirror. It’s simple but definitely speaks to Fall!
Looking back toward the kitchen, I’ll be sharing more of that space soon.
And tomorrow I’ll be back with another little Fall tour highlighting our new dining room. It was actually fun to stop all the work I’ve been doing to create something pretty, so thanks for taking the time to stop by today.
Next on the tour is Kristy from Starfish Cottage. I know you’ll enjoy her coastal cottage home full of inspiration for Fall, so don’t miss it!

I just visited the Plush Pumpkin site – WOW – beautiful vibrant colors and textures.
Love those velvet pumpkins! Visited the site, pinned them as well as shared them with my daughter. Also I am loving what all your have done and are doing to your new home……beautiful! I am sure that there will be some wonderful memories created in the new home.
Rhonda, your photos, decor, and styling are spot on…always! When you said, “I never feel like I can keep up with all the beauty out there” that’s exactly how I always feel. Your home looks beautiful and thank you for the lovely tour. I can’t wait to see all of the other beauty you’ll be sharing of your new home.
Hi,
I love your new home and your mantle, the throws by the hearth are just simply perfect. There is nothing more comfortable after a long day than to snuggle with a soft pretty throw by a cozy fire.
Gorgeous! I visited & pinned. Thanks!
Visited the site and pinned! Thanks for the chance to win! Love your blog!!
Love the Harvest Trio velvet pumpkins. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Love decorating for it. Your home is coming together also. So glad to hear Dad is doing well : ))
Congrats, Rhoda, on participating the fall tour – a challenge so soon after your move, but it was great to see your touches of autumn. I especially liked your white-on-white tabletop vignette with the white pumpkins, white candles and white coral piece. I did visit the Plush Pumpkin website, too – what fun, brilliant hues they’re featuring! Is it me, or am I noticing that the new color for plush pumpkins this year seems to be a rich, jewel-toned turquoise? Saw a few in that color some brick-and-mortar stores in my travels during the past weekend, too, and I don’t think I’d seen that color so prevalent in past years. So pretty!
Loved the Plush Pumpkin site. Velvet pumpkins are the epitome of luxe decor for fall!
The plush pumpkins were so nice! Would be nice to display them. Looking forward to seeing more of your new house!
Your new home is looking great-love the fall décor. Visited the website , I love all the collections-would be so hard to pick one!!

Beautiful fall pumpkins.
Rhoda, Your new home is beautiful. I look forward to watching you decorate it. You are always an inspiration to me.
Happy Fall!
Wow, new house is looking so pretty. Just have fun and don’t worry.
I thought the last thing I need is a velvet pumpkin! HA! now I am not so sure. I know I need some velvet acorns, those are adorable and I do love velvet anything.
If you have time, I would love to know where you got that fireplace screen, I can’t find one I like as much as that.
Nancy, that was one of my prized yardsale finds years ago. I love it too!
I’m glad you are having fun decorating your new home for fall. The teal plush pumpkin is the perfect shade for your living room. I would love to win some of their beautiful pumpkins. The mix of the luxurious velvet and other rougher textures, like wood or twine, would be a great mix. I saw many beautiful colors visiting plush pumkin’s website. Happy Fall!
Rhoda- your mantle looks so lovely! I miss my fireplace mantle it was so fun to decorate. I think you doing so great for only moving in a few weeks ago! I can’t wait to see your new home as you transform it, making it your own. We lived in Atlanta for 8 years and fall is a beautiful time of year there- enjoy it!
Love the velvet pumpkins – all the colors. I posted to my Pinterest page.
I pinned. So pretty!
I visited the Plush Pumpkin site earlier today. They don’t decorate for fall in England like we do. I would Love a plush pumpkin!
