Fall Home Tour {Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours: Fall 2014 Edition}
16
Hello friends! It’s time for LOTS of gorgeous fall inspired home tours organized by the creative Lindsay from White Buffalo Styling Company. Woo!
Found your way here from Ashley’s stunning fall decorating at The Handmade Home? Welcome! It’s lovely to meet you and I’m so glad you’re here!
Okay…I really had planned on more fall decorating than I’ve actually completed but with a big 5-0 birthday celebration in Cancun with my love (ahhh…summer ALL the time there!) and a last minute overnight class trip this week, it’s not the grand fall festival reveal I had planned. I know. Boo. I’m running behind schedule. It will evolve as it unfolds over the next couple of weeks in preparation for the rustic woodland themed {October} baby shower planning in the works. (Stay tuned!) But let’s get this show on the road…
A bit of rustic glam fall dining room for entertaining guests/a few autumn themed dinner parties this season…
And some sneak peeks from outside…

Next stop on the Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours {Fall Edition} is Summer’s beautiful home at Simple Stylings.
Happy fall! Thanks for stopping by!

Decorative Fall Centerpiece
The season is changing. Cooler mornings, shorter days and soon pretty leaves. As a part of the Michaels Makers’ team challenge, I’m decorating the dining room table for fall entertaining.
Fall Centerpiece
Materials:
{all materials purchased from Michaels}
- birdcage
- fall floral and wheat picks
- feathers
- styrofoam disk
- small plastic pumpkin
- ceramic owl
- pinecones
- burlap ribbon
- decorative fall ribbon
- hot glue
What I did:
Simply place the styrofoam disk into the bottom of the bird cage.
Layer fall floral pieces (deconstruct using wire cutters if needed) and feathers. Secure with hot glue.
Weave burlap ribbon between bird cage bars.
Tuck in pieces of ribbon and pinecones. Secure with hot glue.
Add ceramic owl and plastic pumpkin to the inside of the cage.
Add height by displaying on a cake plate and/or wood disks.
I layered a little bling (sparkly mesh runner) with a little rustic (burlap runner) down the center of my tablecloth.
Add wood disks, colorful fall leaves, candles. I topped a pair of gold candlesticks with faux pumpkins for balance and height.

I love the fall living room changes from Marty at a Stroll Thru Life…perfect for fall and so cozy!
There’s still time to whip together this beautiful harvest circle felt leaf pillow, something you’ll cherish every year. Great tutorial at The Sweet Survival.

Happy Halloween ~ DIY Fall Festival linky party and Halloween Highlights
Happy Halloween, DIY friends! It’s a day when I miss when my girls were little and I was sewing Halloween costumes and getting the two of them set to head out to trick-or-treating. Now they’re grown up and we live in a location with ZERO trick-or-treat’ers coming to the door…so just another Wed. evening around here {and actually it’s been postponed until Saturday due to rain and heavy winds} but it doesn’t stop me from taking time out to appreciate your Halloween craftiness!
I LOVE the entire Halloween mantel over at Days of Chalk and Chocolate but especially her Halloween glam wreath:
Lynda from Focal Point Styling always does an amazing job at well, “styling’ and seasonal is no exception. Her harvest entry is so warm and welcoming…
and the spooky Halloween entryway inside is enough to chase me right back out…
She has some more awesome Halloween decorating ideas you’ll want to check out too and I LOVE her steampunk Halloween collection.
Courtney from A Diamond in the Stuff has a GREAT idea for all of that left over Halloween candy (or in my case since we don’t get trick-or-treaters…clearanced Halloween candy!)…Halloween Candy Bark. YUM!
