Fall Home Tour 2018: Front Porch
I was more excited than usual to decorate our front porch this year because we just completed a much overdue renovation of the porch which now has all new supports, stairs, and lumber all around. We have not gotten to stain the wood yet, but who knows when we’ll have time to do that, so I just went ahead and started decking it out for fall! This is a project we had on our list since moving in, as many of the boards had major cracking or holes in them, but somehow or another it always got pushed to the side. Now it’s as good as new and completely structurally sound as well.
What's NEW: Fall Candles
Some of my newest obsessions are these chai flavored candles from The Growing Candle ! The container is a reusable planter and the label is embedded with wildflower seeds that you can plant once your candle is gone 🌱! They come in all different styles and sizes and we have chai and apple cinnamon scent to choose from ($26-35). Seriously THE perfect housewarming or hostess gift to have on hand for gifting! Hurry and grab your favorite because we only have 1-2 of each pot/scent combination available and they're going fast!
Fall Home Tour 2018: Living Room
The next space up on my fall home tour is my living room! I have been steering more towards all neutrals and pale pastels in this room lately so I decided to keep that feel for fall instead of adding my usual pops of orange and browns. I used lots of layered velvet and knit pillows on the couch in all different shades of cream. blush, and magenta mixed in with my favorite gold leaf pillows from Homegoods. I layered up the mantle a bit more than I usually do for fall by adding some eucalyptus garland and then piled up some neutral pumpkins on the threshold too. I always add lots of pumpkins to my built-in shelves, all white and metallic this year, and also added a few vases with simple fall stems.
Fall Home Tour 2018: Kitchen
Today I’m sharing the next room up on my fall home tour, my kitchen! I love to decorate this space for any time of year because there’s so many different areas and elements to refresh: open shelving, fireplace, table settings, and more! I usually use a lot of bright colors in here normally but add an extra pop of orange in as well for fall. I love how it looks mixed with the greens, blues, and gold accents I usually have in this space. Some of my favorite elements of this room are the simplest decor items- like the blue vase on the kitchen table filled with a tall autumn leaf stem; or the fireplace filled with a combination of firewood, bright pumpkins and gourds, and modern brass candlesticks.
Fall Home Tour 2018: Entryway
I’m kicking off my fall home tour today starting with my autumn entryway! This is always one of my favorite areas of my home to decorate for the changing seasons. There are a few things I do every year as far as decor, like the pumpkins up the stairs and garland on the banister, but I also like to add a few new elements each year too. This year I decided to use this vintage floral painting as the inspiration for the space. I hung it off to the side instead of centered on the back wall and then added a hanging metal bin on the other side to balance it out. I filled the space with lots of different fall stems and greenery too, including the gorgeous fresh leaf wreath from Trader Joe’s that I hung on the mirror.
Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits with Crockpot Apple Butter + Country Ham
There’s nothing more comforting for fall than homemade apple butter and buttermilk biscuits! Add in some country ham, and this unexpected combination is the perfect mix of sweet and salty and such a good autumn breakfast option, snack, or lunch! The apple butter could not be easier to make as you literally just throw everything in the crockpot and let it do all the work! I really worked with the amounts of sugar and spices to get just the right blend so it’s not overly sweet and you can taste the apple flavor even more. I also used this apple butter on my autumn cheeseboard and it was the perfect compliment to both sharp and milder cheeses. I love this biscuit recipe as well because they are perfectly fluffy, just the right amount of salty, and a little crisp on the edges.
