The dust has settled. You know that gets kicked up with kids going back to school and summer ending. Well maybe it’s just the last bit of beach sand being shaken out from our car, but life finally feels like it is in somewhat of a routine, and the air is crisp with fall. I’m teaming up with my friends at bHome to share a little bit more of fall around our home.
I’m loving the cooler tones used for fall. It was something I started implementing in last years fall decor. Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with bringing out orange in the fall. But I crave a more subtle, neutral look. I know it’s not for everyone and that’s ok. I love that we aren’t all alike in our taste. I pick patterns that have a timeless feel to them like houndstooth and herringbone and plaids. They still feel like fall, just not the expected color palette.
This year has been about simplifying. Not adding more, but really emphasizing on special details. It’s easy to feel the need to add a ton to your decor when decorating for new seasons, however I chose to make subtle transitions to gradually add fall into our living room. We are back for another round of Farmhouse Holiday Decor Series. Today we are sharing our Living Rooms decorated for fall.
Sometimes the feeling of having to decorate your entire house for fall at once can feel daunting. Like this overwhelming task you’d just rather not start. I like to take it one area at a time. When I’m really struggling for motivation, sometimes just creating a simple fall vignette, will then spill out into the rest of my home and transition my decor from summer to fall. So today I’m sharing a cozy corner from our living room, and easy fall vignette you can create in less than 10 minutes.
I am so excited to share today’s Farmhouse Tour with you!! I know I probably say that every week, but…

I finally pulled the trigger on getting a rug for our dining room. I’ve been contemplating different options for a couple years now. Yes YEARS, you read that right. If I’ve learned anything in design, it’s not to rush the process. Don’t make haste decisions that you aren’t 100% confident in. Not only can you potentially waste money, you waste time and energy on a piece that wasn’t meant to be, and it end up stunting your decision to make the right choice because you live with “good enough” for far too long. I actually had a completely different rug picked out for this room, so let me tell you why I ended up pulling the trigger on not only a different color than my original choice, but also a much bolder pattern!
Today I’m sharing the lovely Elisa Jobe. You can find her on IG @jobestead, or on her photography Facebook page HERE. I love Elisa’s style, and her taste is the perfect blend of a crisp neutral palette with farmhouse touches! Enjoy! Hi my name is Elisa Jobe. Thank you for taking a peek into my home!
We are currently renting and just moved in a couple months ago. We are planning and hoping to build our own farmhouse very soon! I love to decorate with a modern farmhouse feel. Rustic woods, rusty metals and chippy paint are my faves …
You can catch all the details in the “tutorial” post as to why I decided to go with wallpaper vs. real or faux bead board. While I don’t think installing wallpaper to a ceiling is for the faint at heart. Once I figured out the right formula of soaking the wall paper, allowing the paste to activate, and cutting the right lengths, it went up pretty quickly! Are you ready to see the results?!
I know in some areas kids are headed back to school. We still have another 3 weeks to go before school starts for us, however I did just drop off kindergarten registration forms today for my baby! Our kindergarten is a full day program, and they go to school just like the rest of elementary kids, so we are pretty excited around here for both kiddos to be in school. Honestly I think they are more excited than I am, which makes me love the school they go to even more. So even though we aren’t headed back to school, I wanted to share a sneak peak of the look and feel we are going for this fall. I’m so excited about this, because one of my favorite shops Vol. 25, just launched their fall collection “Haven”, and it is full of beautiful prints to help you welcome fall in your home too!
