Hello and welcome to the Storybook Cottage 2018 Fall Home Tour. This wonderful collection of homes decorated in their fall finery is organized by my talented friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life. If you are coming from Southern Hospitality I am so glad that you are here. Sweet Rhoda has such an amazing eye for color and detail.
2018 Fall Home Tour
Storybook Cottage is slowly making its way towards fall. It is still quite hot here in Texas. But the front door is sporting a wreath I recently made from Dollar Store materials.
Dining Room
The tablescape was kept casual for the early fall season.
An antique linen and lace runner was topped with a wooden box filled with cheerful sunflowers.
A few pinecones and other autumnal accessories help to complete the vignette.
Over on the sideboard, a repetition of the same decor elements was given a slight twist.
Kitchen
For our family, the delicious delights of fall happen in the kitchen.
The table is set with my moms vintage Mikasa stoneware and amber goblets.
The leaves haven’t begun to turn here yet but backyard clippings help to fill out the center floral arrangement.
Please help yourself to a bit of cider and warm pumpkin bread.
The ever-changing shelf gets a fun fall makeover as well.
Guest Bedroom
So far we are only expecting one guest to arrive this fall. But that can always change.
I am truly thankful for all the friends and family members who come to stay at Storybook Cottage.
Grace the doxie hopes you have enjoyed the tour. Up next is Cuckoo 4 Design. You will love Julia’s home. Her lovely European touches always remind me of when I lived in Germany.
Please be sure to visit all the lovely fall homes on the tour.

So beautiful Laura! I can’t get enough of that floral print in your guest bedroom. So good!
Everything looks perfect for fall. Sun flowers are one of my favorites and actually were my wedding decor flower. They look beautiful in your fall decor.
I love the pretty sunflowers you have used in the dining room, and your table vignettes are so beautifully done. Your kitchen is such an inviting space and that pumpkin bread made me hungry. Thanks so much for joining the tours again, your home is always such a favorite.
Your home is so warm and welcoming Laura. I love all of the pops of yellow and orange- so perfectly autumn.
Very beautiful! Your seat covers in your dining room caught my eye. Do you have a post on how you made them or are they purchased?
Beautiful. And a reminder that I need to get my fall on (even though I don’t want to yet) before we leave for England on October 3 because I sure don’t want to come back a month later and see summer!
I love the simplicity of your dining table and the coziness of your kitchen table and yes, thank you, I’d love to sit with you and sip cider and eat warm pumpkin bread. Being from the sunflower state. Kansas , (originally), I have to comment on the sunflowers in your wood trays. So pretty.

So warm and inviting! All the amber in your white kitchen is just stunning!!!
Your home looks gorgeous and we even have a little Fall weather to go along with it! I’m planning to put out my pumpkins today. Autumn can’t get here fast enough after this long, hot, summer.
Grace is adorable! I did the online version of a double take when I saw her. Our mini doxies BreeBree and James Mason send hello to her. Your fall home is so pretty!
This is gorgeous Laura! Your kitchen is so pretty and those flowers are to die for!
Such a beautiful tour Laura! I love that arrangement on your table . You are so talented!
Its such a treat to see your home, Laura, which I still feel is a new thing for me! You sound happy there in Texas!
I absolutely love your kitchen. I think this is the first time I’ve seen I kitchen that isn’t cluttered, but isn’t barren and sterile. A nice happy medium. I am a clutter bug, and try as I might, I work hard in my kitchen, and I also love to express myself with a few little fun things, so I just strive for clean and tidy! lol! Your cabinets and counter tops are gorgeous. And I’ll have a slice of the bread and a cup of cider!
Happy fall!
Jane
Laura,
Your flower arrangements throughout your fall house are beautiful. While I am not a yellow fan ordinarily, your sunflowers are so beautiful. Hope you are getting some much needed rest.

Laura I love touring your home! It is so warm and inviting. I love your vintage amber goblets! Mine have been in storage since we moved here five years ago, but after seeing this post, I will be be digging them out for use later this fall! Your dining room is stunning and elegant, and the colors you have chosen for your guest bedroom are exquisite.
So happy to be joining you on this fall tour my friend. Happy early (almost) fall!
Amber
Oh, Grace is a cutie, so pretty!! And I couldn’t get enough of your kitchen, love those beautiful fall colors against the white. And the table with the amber goblets and the lovely placemats was my favorite!

Hi, Laura, your home looks so festive and pretty for Fall! I love your front door pocket and your kitchen looks so warm and inviting, would love to sit down for a cup of coffee in there. You add some many colorful touches to your home for the season and it looks great!

So pretty! Oh, those sunflowers provide so much color, just fabulous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home design with us.
That purple print in the winter mint guest room is so cozy! Reminds me of a suit I had in 196…..
