I’m cozying up to fall by adding some simple seasonal touches to my home. Come along as I take you on a home tour for some autumn inspiration.
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be sharing my fall home tour with you today! For the Brilliant Colors of Fall Blog Hop, hosted by Kelly from The Tattered Pew and Mansa from This is Simplicite, I’m joining 30 bloggers to bring you some wonderful fall decorating inspiration. If you’re visiting Cecilia at My Thrift Store Addiction, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Fall is the one season when I gradually transition my home decor and add more and more autumn elements once the leaves start falling from the trees, and the weather gets cooler. So in September, I start out with a more neutral palette for my decor.
Bringing the outdoors inside is the focus this year, knowing that I will be missing my summer garden, now that the flowers continue to fade away as the fall season takes over.
The Fall Living Room Home Tour
You will find dried hydrangeas throughout my home this fall. I’ve spent many weeks cutting these gorgeous blooms from my garden. There are many different varieties, so the color palettes vary. I love the soft greens from these hydrangeas, sitting in a vintage galvanized bucket.
My accent colors this fall season are shades of greens, roses, and grays. Read more about the 3 easy ways to dry hydrangeas.
I have a couple of great fall signs this year. And of course, my vintage goodies always steal the show.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve waited to decorate for fall until after the first of October. Fresh pumpkins aren’t available in our area until then. But because I am starting so early this year, I brought out all my faux pumpkins. I have to tell you, they are getting cuter and cuter every year!
Read more about my fall vignettes and the natural elements that I used this season for my seasonal decor.
Here is another variety of hydrangeas. I LOVE this dusty rose palette! And don’t forget the copper! That is a huge fall essential in our home.
I just found the crock with the cotton stems in it a couple of weeks ago at the Bremerton Flea Market. I am almost ashamed to say that this is the first crock I’ve owned. It’s a perfect fall home decor accessory.
This pumpkin sign was personalized and fits perfectly in this spot above the glass cabinet.
Bronze bottles were added to my clear and green bottles for more of a fall touch.
The Fall Kitchen Home Tour
Copper accessories, seasonal flowers, and fruits, such as apples and pears, make up my fall kitchen home decor.
Faux pumpkins were sprinkled here and there for a more fall festive look.
Adding vintage pieces to my vignettes always adds more interest.
Check out my wooden pumpkin! I think I bought that at a local shop last year. I even made my own. Check out my wooden DIY pumpkin!
My fresh-cut dahlias are a perfect touch for my kitchen island. They will continue to bloom in the garden at least through mid-October, so I will continue to bring them indoors as much as I possibly can. You can find more about growing and caring for dahlias here.
Dough bowls and a cute vintage chicken feeder will be some of the decor pieces I will use on my farm table this season. There are so many fun things you can fill them with. Apples, pears, pomegranates, pumpkins, eucalyptus, olive branches…the list goes on and on.
Here’s a shot that I don’t show very often. This is a little spot across from my pantry where I store my placemats and tablecloths as well as some fun vintage pieces.
Here’s a fun look at a fall tablescape I just did. Apples, pears, and tree leaves filled the table, with fresh-cut dahlias in a galvanized bucket for the centerpiece. If you like tablescapes, you can see my late summer tablescape on my deck, overlooking the Puget Sound.
Here is a little peek of my pantry with hydrangeas, strawflowers, and globe amaranth drying, so I can use them for more fall decor when they are ready.
Thank you for coming along on my fall home tour. I’d love to hear your comments.
Until next time,

What a cute home! I loved seeing all your vintage touches in your home – it just makes my collectors heart swoon! So glad to be a part of this blog hop with you!
Thank you Jennifer! I never really noticed how much vintage I had until I started looking at all the pictures. I think we just get used to what we have. Loved touring with you!
Beautiful and inspiring as always. I always open yours 1st when it hits my email and I’m never disappointed. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Anne. You just put a huge smile on my face. I appreciate the sweet words so much.

I’m loving your dried hydrangeas! Such a beautiful tour!
Thanks Lindsay! They are a favorite of mine as well.
Love your home all cozied up for Fall, Kim! So many warm touches!
Thanks my friend! I’m so glad you stopped by.
So cute! I love all of your vintage details, and the colours in your home are fabulous! I’m your neighbour to the north on Vancouver Island:) Such a beautiful area you live in!
Thank you so much for the sweet compliments Krista. We’ve been to Nanaimo, Sidney and Victoria on a boat trip several times. I love The Butchart Gardens so much. I’m so sad I will miss them this year. That was the highlight of my trip.
Kim, your home is so cozy and inviting and I just love how you styled it for Fall. Thank you so much for joining us on this tour!
Thank you so much Mansa! It was so much fun and I found some great blogs that I had never seen before. Thank you for letting me join you all.
Your home is so cozy, colorful, and pretty! I love all of the seasonal vibes. Beautifully done.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment Kathy! I really appreciate it.
Your Fall home tour is so warm and cozy. Love your farmhouse style and all the attention to detail. So nice to connect to you through the fall home tours!
Thank you so much Joy! It has been so inspiring seeing all of these fabulous home tours!
Kim, you did such an amazing job decorating for fall. I could look at your pictures all day. And I definitely enlarge them to see every charming detail. 👋💙🍂
Thank you so much Linda! You are so sweet, and I appreciate you checking my tour out!
I love every nook and cranny of your precious and the most-coziest-of-homes ever! I want to just jump through my screen and live there! So adorable! Pinning and still grinning!
I love the pinning and grinning at the same time Cindy! Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot!
Kelly, above said it well! Your house has character.I honestly hate the all white kitchens that look like you could do surgery on the kitchen island. Your home looks comfortable, cozy, welcoming, and lived in. I went through the pictures a second time so that I didn’t miss anything! I have drying herbs hanging in my kitchen–off wall planters and even a rack on a cupboard door. I envy you your pantry!
Thank you Kathy! Boy am I smiling today! I really appreciate your kind words. Fun fact, my pantry used to be a bathroom. Yes. a disgusting bathroom. I like it much better now! Especially with flowers drying in it! Thank you for stopping by!
Oh Kim! I love so many of your little details! I think my favorite is how you brought the beauty of your gardens inside your home. All the dried and drying flowers are just perfect in your cottage home. And that huge pumpkin sign! The wood pumpkin that looks like a cutting board is fantastic. And the drying flowers in your pantry? Swooooooon!
I’m glad you like all my details Anne! I just can’t say goodbye to my flowers, even though it’s fall! Thank s for stopping by!
Oh Kim I have always thought your home was so cozy and beautiful but now with all of your flowers and dried florals and fall decor, I think it’s even more gorgeous! It’s filled with so much character and you decorate it with your vintage find to perfection! I loved looking at all the details in each and every single picture. Thanks for sharing your cottage all ready for Fall!
Thank you for the amazing words Kelly! It’s always so much fun to transition from summer to fall. I look forward to adding the fresh pumpkins and cornstalks outside when they are available here after the first of the month. I am so happy to be here with everyone for the tour. So much inspiration!
Kim!! I love all the copper!! And my Spring pie safe looks like your Fall cabinet with a collection of glass bottles!!! Adding those amber bottles is a beautiful Fall touch!!
Thank you so much Aliya! I do love glass bottles all year round.
I am loving your vintage bottle collection – all of your Fall touches are just perfect. So glad to have met you through the tour.
Thank you for the kind words! This has been a fun tour for sure!
The house looks so pretty for fall Kim!
Thank you Stacy! Now it’s time for Christmas! 😂 I think i’m kidding.
I loved touring your home decorated for fall and so much enjoyed every single picture that you shared. I’ve never seen a hydrangea dry with a dark rose color like yours. I’m wondering the variety and thinking perhaps that that variety grows well in your area and not mine. (VA)
Thank you so much Paula! I want to say it’s just a pink mophead hydrangea. It’s amazing to me how different my hydrangeas look at the end of summer. It’s like a completely different plant. You basically get two for the price of one with hydrangeas!
Your home is indeed cozy, Kim! Love all the lovely fall elements you’ve added… and the faux pumpkins don’t even look faux, until you say something about it! LOL! 😉 Love your bottle collection, too! So fun to be hopping with you! Pinned… twice! 😉
Thank you Julie! I can’t wait to see what you have going on for fall! This fall tour is so much fun, and the fact that it goes on for a week, is even better!
Everything is absolutely beautiful. I especially love the hydrangeas! Happy fall!

Thank you so much Jen! I really appreciate it.
Kim, I’m loving your tour and like you dried hydrangeas are everywhere in our home for fall. I can’t get enough of these beauties.
I have mine in all different pieces and copper is perfect for fall and Christmas. My pieces make an appearance too.
Such a cozy and beautiful tour.

Thank you Cindy! I’m so glad you stopped by. If I had to pick two fall faves, they would be the dried hydrangeas and copper pieces like you mentioned. Thank you for being here.
Kim, your beautiful home is dressed perfectly for autumn. I love every lovely vignette that you have shared. Your home exudes warmth and coziness within each space. Happy Fall!
Thank you Pam! Fall is a fun season to decorate for. I think we are all ready for some warm and cozy vibes right now.
I love your little kitchen! It is so cozy and has that wonderful collected feel. Makes my heart happy!
Thank you so much Karen! That is such a sweet thing to say, I appreciate you being here.
