Colorful Fall Touches Around The House | 2018

Fall Home Tour--ConfettiStyle 2018

Hi friends.  We moved into our new house just over a year ago and while I haven’t done an official house tour, I have shown you bits and pieces of our decor.  To be real, I’m still decorating, searching for the perfect piece of art to go over the sofa, and adding finishing touches to our decor.   I’m hoping to finish up a few things before I start decorating for Christmas and plan to create a video tour to share with you.  Until then, let me show you my fall decor!

Even though I don’t traditionally do much decorating for fall, I did add little touches to our living and dining room.  If you’re expecting traditional fall colors and lots of plaid and leaf decor, hold tight because my fall decor is a little untraditional.  It’s all about color.

THE COLORS OF FALL

I LOVE COLOR and have lots of bright tones and patterns throughout my house. So as not to stray too far from my design aesthetic, I used bright elements to decorate for the season.  I replaced the pink peonies that were on the coffee table during summer with these beautiful yellow sunflowers.  Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and I just love how bright and cheery they look.

I moved the decor around and switched up some of the books.  And I filled a vintage brass pedestal bowl with handmade felt acorns.  Even more color!

The acrylic tray got replaced with an animal print tray that I snagged for under $5 at a flea market.  I always have a touch of animal print in my decor and fall is the perfect season to showcase it.  You might have noticed that I didn’t change the pillows on the sofa (yet), but think I’ve found the perfect fall combination.  Stay tuned.

There are no big changes to the fireplace hearth except the addition of white pumpkins nested amongst my blue and white jars.

We have a small console table that sits next to the door leading out to the deck.  The pink and gold pumpkins along with the orange peonies give this little vignette a fall feel.  In case you’re wondering, the beautiful peony stems cam from Hobby Lobby.

Over in the dining room, I dressed up the buffet with an eclectic mix of items.  I grouped brown tortoise hurricanes with small blue and white ginger jars and a velvet pumpkin under a glass cloche.  Then I added small green and white pumpkins to the mix.  I love the reflection in the mirror at night when the candles are burning.

design tip:  to prevent candle wax sticking to the bottom of a glass hurricane, place a few drops of water in the container.  The water will prevent any candle wax that drips from hardening.

Have you noticed that I have pumpkins of all shades and sizes.  I found some really cute ones this year and couldn’t resist.  The green pumpkins are from Micheals and orange velvet pumpkin is from HomeGoods.  The white ceramic pumpkins are from Hobby Lobby but I painted the stems gold…just because!

I sat a grouping of colorful pumpkins on the kitchen peninsula and love this little spot of happiness.  Grouping pumpkins in different finishes and materials makes the grouping more interesting. The gold pumpkin is from HomeGoods, the small orange pumpkin from Target Dollar Spot and the pink pumpkin is from Michaels.  I shared a picture of the pink and green pumpkins on Instagram and so many of you loved them.

I even got my cocktail bar in on the fall fun by adding small pumpkins to the monkey bowl. Sometimes it’s the little things that make the best decorating moments.

To finish off the dining area, I did decorate the table for fall.  Here’s a sneak peek.  I’ll be sharing the full tablescape tomorrow as part of a fall blog hop so make sure to check back.  You can see my fall tablescape from last year here.
