Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Fall Home Tour 2016

September 12, 2016 Uncategorized

findinghomefalltours36

Hello Friends and Happy Fall! I am so so excited to have you here today as I am joining some incredible friends as we open up our homes for a Finding Fall Home Tour hosted by the lovely Laura at Finding Home Farms! Welcome to each of you, those who are new here and those who have visited with me before. I am going to take you through the main living areas of our home and share how I have added some simple and rich autumn touches to our spaces…

As you come into our home, you will enter our living room. Our home is smaller, so the front door enters straight into this room. It is where we drop our backpacks, purses, hang our coats and leave our shoes =). It also serves as a guest room and an office (you can read about our DIY sofa/bed here).

Pumpkins were not quite ready in our area during this time of the year, so I used what I had on hand and relied on colors/textures to deliver the feelings of fall. I wanted the tones to mimic the richness of the season both golden and vibrant…

As you travel down a long hallway you will find yourself in the larger part of our home, our kitchen.

Where we have maximized storage with a DIY kitchen rack and some open shelving. Kale and butternut squash hang from a market tote. I love having things like this that can serve a purpose while still being beautiful.

We did a small remodel on this kitchen almost a year ago to the day (here) and I have really found so much joy in this little space. Whether it be cooking meals or baking up treats for my kiddos.

Tastes of the season inspire me to start baking as soon as fall rolls around. These plums and pears were no exception and just like the market tote, are lovely decor all while providing a tasty snack or dessert when needed.

We put together these easy puff pastries and finished them off quickly after ;)…

I let these plums and pears become the color scheme for this sweet little tour. They set the tone for how I bought flowers and set our dinner table.

Each element simple and together they all remained cohesive. Giving our small space a flow and a rhythm for just a little bit of money.

From the kitchen you will take a small step up to our sunroom which is used both as our dining room and family room. As seen above, decor was set out and then repurposed for baking and enjoying. You get so much out of your decor when you are able to do it this way.

Golden juicy pears are set on each plate and make a pretty statement set together.

You may have noticed the variety of eucalyptus set atop our dining table here. This is one of my favorite greeneries to use really any time of year. It is inexpensive and fanciful; I absolutely love how it moves and dangles when placed in a vase. Using the same greenery or foliage throughout your home when decorating is a great way to unite the look and feel of your entire home.

Not to forget another favorite use for any season of the year… texture!

Having lots of seating and plenty of pillows and throws full of texture create an atmosphere perfect for this season.

Across from the dining room you will find yourself in the coziest spot of the house, our family room.

Pillows overtake our large sectional (details here) and the amber sun streams through the large windows.

You can tell what season we are in by the color of the sun shining through the glass. I am always amazed as I sort through photos to see how very true this is each and every time…

Relaxed linens and some subtle prints welcome autumn into the space.

A couple pumpkins find their way onto the coffee table and now it is time to enjoy.

Decorating for fall really was simple and enjoyable, it fits our needs and makes us feel at home. Hopefully this inspires you to enjoy decorating purposefully with some delicate touches. I hope you enjoy all the inspiration these talented friends have so lovingly put together. Make sure to go and stop by each one and thank you so much to Laura at Finding Home Farms!

This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
