Nature Inspired Fall Home Tour

Natured inspired fall home tour – We’re bringing in branches, gorgeous autumn blooms, and grasses to welcome the new season to our coastal home.

Here in New England the air is refreshing and crisp, the sun is coming up later, and the leaves are starting to turn the most magical colors. The boys have started back at school this week – in a hybrid model – two days at school and three days at home. I took the opportunity to begin decorating for fall. I had Carly Simon blaring as I styled and photographed. I had so much fun and I’m so excited to share our nature inspired fall home tour. I will be sharing our downstairs rooms with you in today’s tour. I actually took so many photos of each space that I might do a more detailed post on each room during September and October.

Fall Entry

This is the view when you enter our home. I haven’t changed much in here since our entry refresh last fall. That’s actually a floor cloth on the floor that looks like tile and it’s perfect with kids and dogs. I added a few vintage books and this beautiful arrangement in a blown glass vase from Ikea.

The lamp, marble-topped dresser, and mirror are all vintage.

You’ll notice this season I’m very drawn to greens, grasses, and this lush fuchsia color in the hydrangeas from our garden.

I found the Cockscomb Seeds at WholeFoods and I’m currently obsessed with them. Don’t they look like velvet? You’ll see more of these in our dining room.

Opposite the dresser is our staircase – you’ll notice the intricate details on the balusters.

Our umbrella stand is new and I love the vintage image of our home from 1960s.

Fall Living Room

Okay, let’s head into our living room. I already shared our mantel with you last week.

This room also has lovely dark woodwork and period details. We love sipping tea or wine by the fire with a good book.

I’ve repeated the hydrangeas along with some sedum.

On the other side of this room is where we hang out with our two boys. We love to watch movies on Friday night.

Again, I’m trying to use what I already have on hand. I did buy that new succulent in the bamboo container from Trader Joe’s I just couldn’t resist.

We all have an obsession with faux fur throws in our house. Max especially… That one is actually on sale right now!

You’ll notice I added candles and vintage brass to warm up the whites in our living room.

Fall Dining Room

Let’s head through the dark wood columns into our dining room. You maybe saw on Instagram or Facebook but we just celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday over the weekend so they beautiful flowers are still on the dining table.

I gathered flowers from our garden – zinnias, limelight and vanilla strawberry hydrangeas, ornamental grasses and zinnias. I added in some greenery and those cockscomb seeds from WholeFoods.

These sweet blush mercury glass votive holders are so dreamy at night.

I’ll share more photos of this room but have to share one of our chippy blue cabinet.

I already had everything in this vignette but I bought the pampas grass. I’m obsessed with it! I love the softness and the neutral color. Isn’t the texture wonderful?

Fall Kitchen

Here you can see into the kitchen from the dining room.

I absolutely love our stools and have had them for the passed 7 years. They’ve really stood up wonderfully in our home.

I made the Fresh Oysters sign for Luke and the floor cloth I moved from our upstairs bathroom. I cleared all the countertops to make the kitchen feel bigger. This space can get very cluttered. It’s where they kids eat snacks and leave EVERYTHING on the counters.

For fall I brought in a pitcher full of wheat and bunny tails (I saved them from last year).

My husband and kids love snacking on apples. We usually go apple picking but haven’t this year. I filled a vintage bowl with assorted apples.

I have to show you my hand carved fish. I actually got it the same day I got the above bowl, both from a consignment store.

You can see our view of the dining room. Again I’ve added a fragrant candle and some flowers.

Over by the sink have the sweetest mini mum my neighbor gave me.

I took far too many photos of our kitchen but will share more in a later post.

Fall Sunroom

Finally, the last room on our fall tour is our sunroom.

I already shared this pretty arrangement here.

This room overlooks our yard and has beautiful views of our pool. I love reading and painting out here. It gets wonderful light. Sadly it’s only a three season room but we’re hoping to make it four season next year.

The small sunflowers are from Conor’s sunflower plant and the larger one is from John’s. I love bringing the outside in and enjoy using all the plants we have in our yard.

The only rooms I didn’t include on our first floor are our teeny tiny bathroom (with the corner sink and toilet) and the boys’ playroom, but you can see the playroom here.

I hope this gave you some simple ideas for fall in your own home. Be sure to see all the beautiful homes featured in Krista’s Seasonal Simplicity Tour this week.
