Welcome to the Storybook Cottage Early Fall Home Tour 2016. I am so happy to be participating in the weeklong Fall Home Tours hosted by my dear friend Marty from A Stroll Thru Life. If you are stopping by after visiting Barbara’s gorgeous home at 21 Rosemary Lane I want to say that I am so glad that you are here.
It is still quite warm in my neck of the woods so I’ve opted for cool colors and light neutrals for this early fall tour.
Storybook Cottage Early Fall Home Tour 2016
The Entryway
In the entryway, I have gathered a few fall favorites.
Thrift store silver and a vintage container are paired with painted pumpkins.
SQUIRREL!
Rustic elegance.
The Living Room
The soft shades continue in the living room.
In late June I found this art canvas on deep clearance as the paint had rubbed off in several areas. I just touched it up and it looks as good as new hung above the mantel.
Autumnal goodness: velvet pumpkins and tarnished gold acorns.
The layout of the living room has not changed since last years tour.
SQUIRREL!
But I’ve added a few new accessories here and there.
A centerpiece for the coffee table.
Pumpkin perched on a chair. 
The Kitchen
The kitchen received touches of blue and hints of warm yellow.
Happiness is copper colored bricks and vintage towels with pom~pom trim.
A French confit pot corrals cookware.
I see no reason why confit pots can’t be paired with Polish pottery.
The yellow also works well with the new tablecloth and napkins I recently made.
Pinwheel pizazz.
The fabric came from KariAnne of Thistlewood Farms. It was a gorgeous prize that I received for winning the recent Sweet Tea Challenge.
I hope you have enjoyed the early fall tour of Storybook Cottage.

Love the pottery! And now I'm hungry for some baked goods 😉 Happy Fall
Your home looks amazing Laura!
Laura, your fall tour is amazing! Everything is just gorgeous!! Love the entry way, the kitchen……well everything! It's perfection!!
I enjoyed your fall tour, Laura. So much to see and enjoy! I am impressed with your sewing!! Your patchwork napkins and pinwheel centerpiece would take me forever to finish. You love it and thrive in this area.
The tier tray party sounds like fun. I hope I can participate but will enjoy viewing if I can't get one together.
I always love seeing how you switch things up for each season. Your vignettes are so pretty and the entry looks fabulous, those squirrels, so fun. Great tour and I can't wait to see more.
You are not afraid of color!! LOVE IT!!! Love your fall touches and the squirrel theme to your post. Ha!!!
Loving your storybook cottage and all the blue and pretty pumpkins. And especially the squirrels! They're wonderful!
beautiful. love the pottery, and the way you added blue a not typically traditional fall color.
This was a great post for me. As a recent transplant from the Midwest to a warmer coastal climate, I am learning how to incorporate the seasons in a more subtle way in our home. My new color palette, blue and white, is also different for me. Different, but also exciting in that it opens me up to new options and combinations that weren't in my wheel house until now. Thank you for planting the seeds of fall with blues and softer shades.
Pamela
everything looks so pretty…especially love your kitchen and your tiered tray
my tray is up today…:)
When I saw that beautiful topiary on IG, I was excited to see the rest of your home, and yes, you truly did not disappoint! I love how unique your color scheme is this fall and how very pretty all your vignettes are! So very honored to share this Fall home tour with you Laura!
Laura, You've the finest sewing skills, the napkins and tablecloth are gorgeous! Happy to see a fresh take to the autumn decor with all the blue accents, pretty!
Your home looks lovely Laura! I love all the colors you used especially the coral pink. It's beautiful!
Everything is so pretty and I'm loving those pops of blue!
What a beautiful home you have Laura. I love that soft shade of aqua you have chosen. It goes so well with fall colours. I especially like your welcoming display in your front entrance.
I came by initially to see your tiered tray, but was happy to have a peek at your home too 😉
Wendy
So so pretty Laura, the blue is so unexpected and beautiful with the fallish things! Lovely and fresh!
Jenna
Very pretty! You found just the right spot for Kari Anne's beautiful quilt.
Laura,
What a refreshing look for Fall…. blues. Your first photo of the topiary with the pears and leaves called my name immediately. The Sweet Tea quilt top is perfect as a tablecloth for your Fall colors.
Thanks for linking up to our first Monday Social. This post will be a great one to link up next week.
Judith

So lovely, Laura! Your blues have me swooning!!! Now we just need some fall weather to go along, right?!! Have a wonderful week, xo, Andrea
Everything looks beautiful! I love how you combined the blues and golds with the topiaries, acorns and pumpkins. Your sewing skills are amazing ~ love the napkins and the tablecloth. When do you find the time to do everything with school? 🙂
Have a blessed week!

You have a very lovely home. It looks so peaceful! Have a wonderful week.
Beautiful tour, Laura! You have captured the softer side of Fall beautifully! Love that Polish pottery, I have never seen any without some red in it and that is why I shied away. Love your confit pot too. GORGEOUS pastel topiaries, did you make them? Happy early Fall!!!!
So so pretty Laura!
I love the blues and your kitchen is amazing.
Enjoyed visiting:)

It's all very lovely, Laura. I love those confit pots!
Storybook Cottage is stunning in its Fall Adornment. The color palette you chose is wonderful with all the shades of blue, yellow and gold! Wow!
Hey Laura, I love your introduction of blue into your fall decor. it works so well with your decor. I wish I could put together my own napkins and tablecloth but sadly I am not much of a seamstress. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.
Hi, Laura. Squirrel! You crack me up. It is darling. You always put on such a great tour. I love that you featured the quilt top.
Love it all but I especially love the squirrels.
Your home looks beautiful, Laura! I adore the tiered tray….you are so clever! Lovely napkins and the tablerunner is so pretty!
Warm hugs,
Carol
We could just move a few of those beautiful teal and green accessories into my home 😉 Everything looks great, Laura!
I just love the shades of teal! Yummy!
