Fall Home Tour
Welcome to My Home…
I’ve been wanting to share these photos with you for days now, only with A Time to Clean: 30 Day Challenge {starts back up tomorrow!}going on and then the holidays being upon us it just didn’t happen!
Anyway, so my home is not fancy in any sort of way and I often wish I could hire someone to come in and finish all the wallpaper stripping, painting, and pulling out of carpets. The fact is, my husband is a pastor and we just don’t have extra money for that sort of thing. Little by little over the last 11 years we’ve been getting things done. It’s feels so slow!
We live in a small town and so much of my home decor comes from Wal-Mart, Dollar General, or Big Lots. I do shop from time to time at Kohl’s or Hobby Lobby and the occasional flea market or other shop.
Fall is hands down my favorite time of the year. I just love the warm colors. In fact, my home is decorated in fall colors year round.
The Front and Back Porches
The Pumpkin Patch sign came from Big Lots. All of the flowers and plants came from Wal-Mart. I bought the shutter and small table at a flea market. The old watering can belonged to my husband’s step-father years ago. We picked the pumpkins at pumpkin patch for $1.00 a piece – except for the Cinderella pumpkin which came from Trader Joe’s in Knoxville.
The Foyer
A few months ago I painted my front door black. I love how it makes the colors of my wreaths or other door decorations pop no matter what the season!
The Living Room
The pumpkins on the mantel came from Hobby Lobby and the sign came from Big Lots. I picked up the bird garland at a yard sale.
The Dining Room
So, I still have the vintage wallpaper {we found under the other wallpaper} on the walls and the hardwood floors still need to be refinished. Those will get done one of these days! I have my buffet decorated with a candle warmer and fox salt and pepper shakers from Wal-Mart, cake plate from Princess House, and the book Every Bitter Thing is Sweet by Sara Hagerty. The small silver dish is from Mary & Martha.
The placemats, burlap table runner on the buffet, and table cloth all came from Wal-Mart. The white dishes came from Pier 1 Imports many years ago and the blue plates came from Wal-Mart.
The Breakfast Nook
Every year I add to my collection of seasonal items to decorate with by shopping the end-of-season clearance sales. I love decorating for the seasons and constantly change out my decor so that our home feels fresh and inviting and still interesting to my family.
