Early Fall Home Tour 2019
It is still really hot here in Fort Worth so I’m not quite ready for autumns warm color palette. I decided to transition from the late summer season by pairing teal, turquoise and brown with copious amounts of white and cream.
Formal Dining Area
I absolutely love using the Friendly Village china pattern in the fall.
For the centerpiece, a simple wooden box was filled with a fresh flower bouquet from the grocery store.
Aside from the fresh flowers, I didn’t purchase anything new. Existing accessories already on hand were used in a new way.
Over on the sideboard, the theme continues.
Additional wooden boxes were also used. They were filled with special treasures and heirlooms.
Living Room
The formal dining room is right alongside the living room in an open-concept space.
We recently purchased a new English rolled arm sofa.
The cabinet of curiosities also received a bit of an early fall makeover.
Alongside the cabinet, a carved wooden squirrel keeps his eye on the room.
Perhaps he has his eye on the ingredients for a harvest hoedown.
The living room is quite dark so I have hung mirrors on two of the walls to reflect the light. I certainly love how the bar cart mirror showcases the mantel.
Various pumpkins collected over the years have been gathered together.
The two felted wool pumpkins came from the Target dollar spot. Deal!
I still love the fall topiaries I found a few years ago.
Kitchen
Finally we arrive in the kitchen. I think copper pairs so well with soft shades of green and aqua.
A bit of brown was added in as well to tie it into the formal dining and living area.
You can see the complete kitchen tour HERE.
I certainly hope you have enjoyed this early fall home tour.
I’ll be back on Thursday to kick off costume season with the Downton Abbey inspired dress I recently made.
Happy Fall Y’all!
Laura
Up next on the tour is my sweet friend Rhoda from Southern Hospitality.

Your Downton dress is divine! And I love the home tour. It’s elegant but warm. Your table setting rocks my world — love the china and of course I’ve always admired your fireplace and remember your tutorial. I’d better get on the stick before Christmas comes! (I saw those pumpkins too!)
Love your stove nook and pumpkin plates! Lovely tour as always Laura
I love how warm and inviting your home always is. Love, love, love the tablesetting – so pretty. That is one of my favorite china patterns too. Your stove area is always a winner and the copper is gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining the tour again this season.
This is so lovely! You’ve created such a cozy atmosphere.
Love your tablescape with the pretty Friendly Village china! Yep. it says fall all around. And you totally rock that Downton Abbey dress. Beautiful!
Hi, Laura and Happy Fall to you! Your home looks beautiful and warm and inviting! I love love your new roll arm sofa, it’s gorgeous! And those pumpkin plates on your table really caught my eye too, love the colors. Hope you have a wonderful Fall season.
the blue sofa is SO pretty! love how it plays with the turquoise in the hutch and pillows!
Such a beautiful tour! Love the mantel styling and fall touches all around your home. Your dishes are perfect and so is that box of flowers! I have an antique sugar mold you have inspired me to play around with!
Happy fall to you, Laura. Your home is lovely and I do love your Friendly Village. I am also taken with your beautiful goblets, they look like Fostoria. They are certainly pretty. Your post has made me realize I’d better get busy and get in the fall spirit.
p.s. Oh, my, your dress is lovely!
Laura, I love your use of Friendly Village in the DR and how you carried that throughout the buffet and also in the cabinet of curiosities. The bar cart and that mirror reflection of the mantel is gorgeous. And so is your outfit!
It’s so cozy, Laura! I agree that copper is just so warm and inviting, in the kitchen and everywhere. The new sofa is beautiful and looks comfortable, too. Can’t wait to see more of your Downton dress. Happy fall to you!
I love your cabinet of curiosities! What a fun piece to display all kinds of pretty things. Happy fall! 🙂
Your tour looks scrumptious. And I think I have that same print on your mantel upstairs in our game room. Did you get it from Pier One? I never go up there so because of the 2 inch coating of dust, it could be different. 😉
Wow! Your dress looks like you could walk right into DA and be right at home with the Crawly clan. I love the rich purple and the pretty jewellery you added. Remember when Lady Mary bobbed her hair much like your pretty style? Perfection!
Your house always looks so welcoming and stylish. The Friendly Village dishes, the flowers and other accessories you have added just make it look warmer and cozier for the autumn. I love your mantle piece decor and the way you have dressed the buffet. Makes me want to dig out my fall decorations and get the house prepped for the cooler days.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home and peeks at your gown. Cheers!
Such a beautiful tour, Laura!! So glad to be sharing it with you as well. Happy fall! xoxo
Love your flower arrangement in the box Laura!! Everything is so pretty, but I’m really loving your dress!!
Oh my goodness your house is stunning! I love your vintage style. And you dress is amazing… Im so excited for Downton Abbey.
I have so many vintage sewing patterns, but my sewing skills are rudimentary at best. Hopefully someday I’ll learn more!
You are so cute, and so is your fall home! Loved it all!
love your fall home! so beautiful!
So many gorgeous touches Laura! I love your centerpiece and the amazing runner! Friendly village is a wonderful pattern too.
Loving your new sofa and your collection of pumpkins, but YOU steal the show in your Downtown Abbey dress!
Happy almost fall dear friend!
So lovely! Your styling in your cabinet is beautiful!
Look at you in your Downton Abbey dress. Lovely. I think your squirrel has it’s eye’s on your bar and wants a cocktail! 🙂
I love how you blended subtle touches of fall in with the cooler turquoise hues. That acorn garland is so adorable! Such a pleasure touring with you, Laura.
Beautiful fall home! Love that dinnerware and the pops of copper!
