Welcome to Fall At Storybook Cottage. The idea for this wonderful tour is courtesy of my dear friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life. This year’s tours are being hosted by the fabulous Linda of It All Started With Paint. If you are visiting from Southern State of Mind let me say, “Welcome to Storybook Cottage!” Wasn’t Heather’s fall home fabulous?
Fall At Storybook Cottage
I am a bit slow to decorate for fall. Temperatures are still in the 90’s here in Texas. However, a few overcast days have had me pulling out the pumpkins and planting some mums.
A Happy Hedgehog
I recently made a rare trip to Michaels and became instantly smitten with a happy hedgehog.
I’m generally not an impulse shopper but she had to come home with me and grace the front entry.
The Dining Area
This year the formal dining area is a bit rustic.
Linen runners have been paired with mini oak stumps gathered from our yard.
The soft shades of green and blue seem fitting for warmer fall days.
Living Area
Similar hues can be found in the living area.
A neutral arrangement graces the coffee table.
The mantel features more oak stumps and colorful pumpkins.
An eclectic grouping of gourds.
This deep teal velvet pumpkin might be my favorite.
The Sunroom
With Sweet Guy happily ensconced at college the sunroom has been transformed into a cozy antique schoolroom.
It is the setting of the new weekly series Lessons With Laura.
The series includes creative crafts, delicious recipes, historical fashion, and much more.
A Cozy Kitchen
This fall touches of gold, brown, and turquoise have also been added to the kitchen.
The copper pots have been polished and await the making of yummy soups and stews.
The glass-fronted cabinet holds a small collection of cottage themed china. Perfect for a cup of warm cinnamon spice tea.
I’ll be back on Wednesday with the next installment of Lessons With Laura. This week we’ll be featuring Little House in the Big Woods. Come find out how Ma’s Vinegar pie is made.
Happy Fall Y’all!
Laura
Up next on the tour is Clean and Scentsible. You will love Jenn’s autumnal touches.

Laura,
Your home is dressed beautifully for fall! I adore the mantel with the log stumps. So creative!
Laura I always look forward to your home tours. I love how you bring history into all of your decor too. So beautiful and so fun to see.
A cute lil hedgehog will make anybody smile! Love the use of your stumps as pedestals in your mantel and table. Hope you are doing well.
Laura I love your gorgeous, inviting fall accents! Your linen table runner and table setting are so beautiful – love all the autumn layers! Pinned! xo Heather
Love all the pretty pumpkins and fun fall colors. Always love seeing how you decorate for each season. xo
I love the hedgehog. I’m seeing lots of blues and greens in fall decorations this year. I like the short stumps.
Loving all those greens and blues! Just lovely! And that little hedgehog is darling … and love those thrifted from the yard tree stumps!!! Thanks so much for joining us on this fall tour!! 🙂 Linda
Thank-you so much for the beautiful tour! I love seeing all of your little fall touches – especially the blue pumpkins. Wishing you a wonderful fall.
so many wonderful fall touches, Laura. Your use of blue throughout the seasons is always so lovely. now that glass fronted cabinet. definitely my cup of tea! Happy Fall, Laura!
If you hadn’t had me before (and you did) you would have had me at the mantel. That’s the nicest mantel I’ve seen in years for this season. And your kitchen warms my heart!
Laura, that cute hedgehog made me smile. I also added a little hedgehog to my decor this fall. Love the mantel and tablescape with all the wood and colorful pumpkins. Beautiful tour!
Lovely tour Laura, love your hedgehog and using the stumps adds so much texture and interest. Copper is a great treasure for the cooler months ahead.
Pretty tour my friend!

LOVE the landscape painting in your kitchen! The oak stumps are a clever touch to your fall decor! I’m all for rustic, natural, organic!
Great tour Laura. Each nook and cranny with the critters is adorable. Not so sure I’d like a vinegar pie but it looked good. 😉 Enjoy your fall! See you next week!
Something this amazing how can one just choose just one thing to love. You nailed it all! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
What a gorgeous tour with so many wonderful fall touches! I love that little hedgehog and the greens and blues in your dining room. The craft room cloche is perfect too.
Yout pretty mums in the basket have me wanting to head back to the thrift shop where I saw a similar basket this morning. Hope it is still there!
Thanks for the inspiration and happy fall!
I enjoyed that very much! Thank you!
