Early Fall Home Tour

Fall Home Decor - the kitchen

Technically, it's still summer, but I'm already in the Fall mood. This post is one of my favorites as it's full of accessible and affordable Fall décor ideas you can implement in your home.

I love that our sweet host Marty from A Stroll Thru Life always gathers a selection of homes in the most varied décor styles. From traditional to modern, eclectic, boho, farmhouse, etc. You'll find great ideas on the style décor that you love!

Are you guys stopping by Sarah's beautiful home on her Grace In My Space blog? It's always a feast for my neutral-loving eyes. If you still need to stop by, you should; I know you guys will love it! 

You'll find the links to all 30 beautiful homes at the end of this post.

Ok, ready to come to peek around my house? Below each picture, I've linked sources to most of the DIY projects tackled in each room and the decorations and furnishings.

Our first stop is the family room. Lately, I've been using green accents in this room. Well, I kept them and added even more. 

Thank goodness I managed to keep my monstera green.  ;)

Fall décor was mainly relegated to pumpkins and dark textiles.

Faux pumpkins are the easiest way to bring Fall inside your home.

Luckily, one day before taking these pictures, I found a good stash of tiny real pumpkins at Target. 

And no, the ones you see in this picture below aren't real. :)

The built-in unit stayed the same. I simply swapped a few accessories.

And yes, It's pumpkin spice season!

The biggest change in this room came from installing new curtains and a mirror. I bought that mirror thinking about using it in the powder room. But, given that I haven't even started working on that room, the mirror can wait here.

BREAKFAST AREA

Tired of storing my heavy pans inside the oven, I bought a pantry cabinet a few weeks ago that had the perfect measurements to fit in this little nook in our laundry room. 

You should see the before right HERE to really appreciate the after. Not only did that little nook get organized, but installing this cabinet here brought so much organization to my kitchen!

Look at all that I could store in there!

Now, some of you asked me how far from the kitchen was the laundry room. 

The following picture answers that question from inside the laundry room.

You can see the pantry cabinet on the left and our breakfast room a whopping one big step apart.

I removed the door separating both areas, giving me a new view of the breakfast room.

We call it a breakfast room, but it's just a little area between our family room and the kitchen.

This summer, we had to update the chairs; I love their design and comfort. We had a bit of trouble putting them together as some of the screws didn't align with the holes. Thank goodness for having lots of tools for that type of job. ;)

I quickly set the table using as a base these leaf placemats, one of my early wooden projects. They are very easy to create, and they immediately add that fall vibe to the table.

Black and white buffalo check napkins always look good.

Pumpkins and more pumpkins were sprinkled around.

KITCHEN

Let's look at the other side... The kitchen.

I love how that peek of color from the velvet curtain complements the blue island.

This pretty painting you see below is one of my daughter's creations. She is super creative and has a knack for art (I wonder where she gets it from). Although her primary medium is polymer clay/ceramics, she likes dabbling in acrylic painting. 

She came home one evening after hanging out with her girlfriends and gifted me this cute mini canvas! She drew inspiration from a similar painting online and decided to recreate it. I loved it so much that I wanted to have it in the kitchen where I could see it daily! 

I love the contrasting colors she used; so vibrant.

Looking at the kitchen from this angle, all I can think of is... Hey, no more pans inside the oven! :D

Oh, these are the real little pumpkins I got. They also give the kitchen a good pop of color.

I took this pic standing by the side of the kitchen table. Let's take a look at the room back there.

HOME OFFICE

Yep. This is where you can find me anytime during the day or late at night. I didn't add Fall décor here besides the little apple orchard sign.

On the plate rack outside the room, I placed three simple pumpkins that read BOO!

I found them at Dollar Tree, and I think they're so cute!

Last but not least, MR. RLC's new office space. The little corner of the living room that he's now enjoying.
