Fall Home Tour: Modern and Fresh

What’s better than a fall tour of homes?

A fall tour of homes……..that you can go on in your pj’s with a makeup free face while drinking a hot pumpkin spice coffee – that’s what!

Modern & Fresh Fall Home Tour
It’s a fall tour of homes hosted by Kristin of KFD Designs and Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. and I’m honored to be participating.  Yesterday, Bethany of Dwellings by Devore shared her fall home, here’s just a snippet.

I made a door bucket in lieu of a wreath this year. 
Here at the Phillips house we have one rule, please be sure to take note.

I live in Lexington, Kentucky surrounded by horse farms, so I can’t help but pull decor inspiration from my surroundings.  Horse farms are beautiful year round, but underneath the colors of fall they’re truly exceptional.  As a girl who grew up in Southern California I feel really blessed to call the bluegrass home.

I recently changed my mantel from a fall look to a not so spooky look for Halloween.  My kids get a kick out of dressing White Beauty for the holidays.

I love embracing the textures of fall and really like to decorate with natural elements as much as possible.

 On my kitchen/breakfast room table I like keeping the centerpiece below eye level so no one feels like they need to remove it when we sit down to enjoy a meal together.

I also love displaying things my kids have made for me.  This pink pumpkin makes washing the dishes feel like less of a chore.

For me fall is about slowing down and getting cozy in your home.  I’m all about candles, throw blankets and natural elements.

I’m also a  big believer in making your resting place a haven and just recently dressed my bed for fall with new leopard sheets.

  • I love your planter on your dining room table, it's so simple! I'm still crushing on those new sheets too! Did you see that Target (Archer Farms) now has a Pumpkin Spice K-Cup? It's delicious – I'm going to hoard some to get me through the year!

  • Obsessed with your dining room, love all of the special details and textures!
    I didn't realize you were in Lexington! I am just up the road in Cincy! Hoping to make it that way for Keeneland this fall!

  • Gorgeous Carmel! Not overdone, just the perfect amount of seasonality! Also love how you incorporate elements of your city and state into your decor. We live at the foot of the rocky mountains where the prairies meet the foothills. There is so much natural inspiration to be savoured all around us and I absolutely LOVE incorporating those elements in my home. Roosting where you are. Its a good, good thing 🙂

  • Your fall decorating is like a warm hug! Very beautifully done, Carmel. 🙂 So what part of SoCal are you from? We've been in San Diego now for just over one year and love it. 🙂

  • Beautiful, Carmel, all of it! I will never, ever get tired of your dining room stencil (even though that has nothing to do with fall). Also on a non-fall related note – did you paint your stairs treads black or did you buy the house that way? I've been thinking of doing that in our new house.

  • Gorgeous Carmel, it really is. And your kid's pink pumpkin makes me smile, so cute!
    I still really want your brass trunk ;). I have been looking forever and can't find one.

  • PLEASE don't think I'm a crazy stalker, BUT I know the artist that sketched your children! lol I went to high school with Iven. I was going through some of his artwork photos on facebook one day and saw your kids! Took me a minute to realize where I recognized them from. He is insanely talented! Your house is lovely!

  • Carmel, you whole house is so warm and inviting! I love that you sue pattern and texture being the less obvious choices to create a great fall feel. BTW, your cabinets are so amazing! Love the finish! And I would like to lay down and relax in your room! That is what a bedroom oasis should be all about!

  • SO stunning! Carmen, I am so inspired by your home! That gold trunk, the rug, that entry (an ALL-TIME fave!), the mantel…well, okay fine, every single detail is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing…I'm so inspired!

  • I have Bella Rosa and Flora Passion and love them both. Flora Passion seems go look better on me with my blonde hair ,green eyes and medium skin with yellow undertones, plus I am a sucker for corally pink lips!!! I wanted to share with you thst my 135 lb. Doberman. Ernie just loves to watch me put on my make up and do my hair. He tilts his head from side to side as if saying,"Yes, that one looks good!" " So cute! resilience salt cell

  • Extraordinary feature. I for the most part don't observe any feature till the end of it. In any case, your feature made me to watch it till the end despite the fact that its length of time is too little. A debt of gratitude is in order for the feature.vaporizer Australia
