Fall Home Tour Part Two!
Do you love seasonal decor? Or prefer to stick with a pretty solid look all year round?
I definitely like to change things up a little for each season… but over the past few years I have enjoyed making me seasons last longer and longer.
Truth be told, I don’t know if I will decorate much for Halloween this year. We just have so much going on that I don’t think I’m up for it.
But, Fall?! Autumn?! Fall Home Tour? That’s a whole other story.
I’m loving the warm touches to our decor this fall. And really, I don’t think it has to take a whole lot of effort to add a little “fall” or “autumn” to your home.
Today I’m part of a fabulous group of Canadian bloggers sharing their Fall Home Tours, and I want to share with you some super simple ideas for “fall-ifying” your home, without going over-the-top.
Let’s start with the front porch!
All it takes to fall-ify your front porch is picking up a few tubs of fall flowers at your local big box store, throw in some pumpkins, and maybe some plaid pillows if you have somewhere to put them. Done!

This wreath took about five minutes, tops.
I used some faux eucalyptus leaves from my local dollarama and simply wrapped and tied them to a grapevine wreath form. Great colour, simple style, super thrifty, and no time at all. Perfect!
This fabric from Online Fabric Store is still one of my all-time faves…and isn’t the colour scheme perfect for the season?! It’s called Iman Ubud Sunstone.
Our little console table in the front entrance is still one of my favourite pieces. We “inherited” it from our sister and brother-in-law when they were redoing their living room. It’s a fab little piece but is pretty scratched up on top (something about 3 year olds digging metal objects into it?!)… so I think it may get a paint job one of these days.
Did you ever see how I actually made that lampshade myself?! Such a fun project! I borrowed it out of my craft room for Fall. Shopping the house is always one of my favourite tricks for changing up my decor seasonally.
Fresh flowers are great for every season… I don’t buy bouquets – I just save some money by purchasing them in bulk at the florist and then grouping them in jars or vases once home.
Oh, pumpkins. Nothing else quite says “fall” in the same way. Except, maybe, maple leaves.
From our entry hall you can head right into our living room…
And there is a lot more to see…
Head over here to see the rest of my FALL HOME TOUR: the living room and dining room.
Or head into our kitchen to see our brand new kitchen makeover!

I love how simple touches can change the whole feel. It looks so lovely! Plaid does say fall doesn’t! My morning is just now getting a nice chill here in the states and makes me want to snuggle up by a fire. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!
I agree Renee! A cozy plaid throw for fall – and a roaring fire?!? Sounds amazing!!
What is that blue color on your walls in your entry, Krista? It’s perfect!
Hi Chelsea – it is called Colorado Gray by Benjamin Moore. It is a really pretty combo between blue/green/grey.
I love the pops of red you added to your front door wreath and the plaid pillow! Lovely like always.
Thanks Amy!!
Soooo pretty! I really, really like how you’ve mixed orange/red with aqua, Krista. It’s just so happy and fresh! Thanks for joining the home tour!
Thanks for organizing it all Christina! It was lots of fun!!
I LOVE everything you’ve done to welcome Autumn. Your home always looks so welcoming and of course, happy!
Best wishes from Down Under,
Natasha in Oz
Gorgeous Krista! Your turquoise looks so pretty with all of the fall orange!
Your home tours always make me smile! So much cheerful colour, but done in such a light and airy way. And that kitchen? I’m dying over it. Just stunning!! ~Kerri, A Pop of Pretty
Love all your fall decor!! It’s so colorful!
