fall home tour

Hey friends!  Today I’m participating in the Eclectically Fall Home Tour coordinated by Kelly from Eclectically Vintage.  
If you’re dropping by from the last stop at City Farmhouse, welcome! 
I’m thrilled to be participating in this tour of homes as fall is without a doubt my favorite season!  
Our Fifth House - Fall Home Tour - 2014
I love the colors of fall……….the cooler temps that call for sweaters and boots…………..the slow cooked meals that make your house smell incredible…………..and most of all, the decorating!  My mantra when it comes to seasonal decorating is “keep it simple”.  I basically like to dress my home for fall the same way I dress myself……………..with cozy, comfortable layers. 
But enough chit chat……come on in y’all! 
Our Fifth House - Fall Home Tour #EclecticallyFall
Anne of Green Gables  - I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers
I’m an Anne fan, and every fall this quote comes to mind.  October is the month I celebrate my birthday and my anniversary, so it’s kind of fitting.  ðŸ™‚

I love plaid blankets, little pumpkins and wood burning fireplaces!  And I’m currently obsessed with my new jute storage basket (from the Desert Caravan Collection at World Market) that I’m using to hold firewood.

I also love little white pumpkins, decorating with wine corks and cute, mossy cornucopias

And feathers and trophy cups!
I like bringing in natural elements like branches, dried eucalyptus and clippings from the yard.

I keep succulents in the house year round because they’re the only plants I can manage to keep alive.  ðŸ˜‰ I gave the succulent planter box on my breakfast room table a little fall makeover just by adding in some wood slice orbs.

Like I said, I like to keep things simple, making a few tweaks here and there to bring in that warm and cozy fall feeling to my home. 
Thank you all so much for popping by today, be sure to catch the next fall home tour over at Ella Claire
Thanks very much to World Market for sponsoring today’s tour!  You all know how much I love me some World Market……..now if I could just get them to open a store here in Lexington, KY my life would be that much sweeter.  Although it would probably be bad for my basket hoarding tendencies.  ðŸ˜‰

  • First of all, you are gorgeous. I love you outfit – and your super sweet smile. Also, I adore your home! You had from the first photo with the stag wreath holder! Everything looks amazing.
    I'd like to invite you to my blog: simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com

  • I wish I was better at seeing something I love, something like your basket, and bringing it into my home and just finding a place for it to go. I'm just not confident enough, I guess. I love how you do that! Thanks for sharing your home. I love fall! GO UK!

  • I used to be that same way, but then I just decided – well, what's the worst that can happen? – if it doesn't work I can always just return it back to the store. More often than not though, the things I really love I end up loving even more once I get them in my home. Try it – you'll see – there's a reason why you're drawn to certain things. And yes, Go CATS! 🙂

  • Carmel, Your home is a delight to my eyes!!! I adore your fun and so beautiful take on fall! Oh my I would love to spend hours in your gorgeous home just looking around!!! Pinning like crazy!!!!

  • I just love your horse head – he never fails to make me smile when I see him above your mantel. I am sure your kids love how he changes his "clothes" with the seasons!
