Fall Home Tour | Autumn Scents, Colors, & Traditions

Hello & welcome to our fall home tour! I am so thrilled and honored today to be participating in the Homegoods “Make Home Yours for Fall” fall tour!  My friend Jessica at Four Generations One Roof kicked off the tour yesterday in her beautiful home.  Please be sure to go visit her home as well as the other participating homes that I will send you off to at the end of mine. Each blogger on this tour is giving away a $100 Homegoods gift card (thank you Homegoods for the generosity!).  So be sure to enter after touring each home for 8 chances to win!  Now it’s time for some fall touring fun! For those of you coming from the stunning home of French Country Cottage, a huge welcome to you! Isn’t Courtney’s home absolutely breathtaking?

My name is Shauna and I live in Colorado Springs, CO with my husband, 3 boys, and a pint size yorkie named Gucci.  I love, I mean LOVE to decorate my home and work on the ever changing design projects that go on around here. Fall is my favorite season of the year, especially living in Colorado. The weather is changing, the temperature is already dipping to low temps and the leaves are beginning to turn beautiful shades of autumn. The scents of fireplaces burn in the air and the aroma of pumpkin spice candles announce that our long winters are soon to come.

Every fall I go into full fall nesting mode and decorate every room of the home. This year I’ve taken a more simple approach by infusing our home with some new rich, warm colors and velvety textures.  You’ll see some traditional fall colors of gold and burnt orange, a few scattered pumpkins (no luck finding the real ones yet!), yummy autumn scents and traditional treasures for our family.  Now come on in, I’ve been waiting for you!

What better way to welcome guests to your home than with a simple fall wreath.

The Kitchen…hot apple cider, glowing candles, harvested apples

The kitchen is the heart of our home.  A place where we come together as a family every night to have a meal together. With three boys and hectic sports schedules, sometimes that means a quick dinner around the island.  Gathering together every night, even if for only 20 minutes is so important in our family and a time to connect with one another.

I’m looking forward to using my new blue and green wine glasses for Thanksgiving.  Most of our meals are pretty casual, but the holidays call for pulling all the pretty dishes out of the cabinets and put on display.

I wish you could scratch & sniff this photo because this pumpkin candle is scrumptious!  You’ll always smell a burning candle in our home.

The colors of seasonal fruit like these harvested fall apples are simple, yet pretty, displayed in a wood bowl.

The pumpkin mugs hold nostalgic memories of years past.  Memories of our boys once chubby toddler hands embracing the mugs of warm apple cider.  I love holding onto pieces that have sentimental meaning and bringing them out every year.  Simple traditions give my heart that warm & fuzzy feel.

Old family photos are another piece of nostalgia that I like to display throughout the home. Open kitchen shelves can display anything with meaning, not just pretty dishes.

The Loft…burnt orange pillows and mini pumpkins. The place where “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” will be watched on repeat.

Our upstairs loft recently got a big makeover and has now become the coziest hang out spot for our boys.  This time last year, I had emptied it of all it’s old furnishings in hopes to give it a new facelift. That project ended up getting put on hold for almost a year.  I’m happy to finally have it complete since this is the time of year that we curl up more on the sofa to watch Sunday football and all of our favorite holiday movies.

Burnt orange is a new fall color I’m loving in this room.  I’ve tried it in other rooms of the house in previous years and haven’t quite liked it.  With the stark contrast of the neutral linen sofa and the navy blue drapes, rugs and pillows, orange has found it’s home..at least through the fall season.

Add in my love of brass and metallics for that sparkle.

There’s something about old books and fall decor that go hand in hand. Maybe it’s the colorful bindings or the gold lined pages.

  1. I would love to find grapevine pumpkins, plum and sage velvet pillows, and small covered white soup tureens to fill with pumpkin soup.

  2. It’s all so beautiful Shauna! I giggled when I saw your pumpkin mugs. We grew up with those mugs and I have so many wonderful memories with them. I bought more for my own family years ago. I’ll be pulling them out soon… once the temps drop below 90 here! 😉 It was so nice participating in the tour with you! Your home is so lovely. 😉

    1. Jessica, thank you so much! Means so much to me that you invited me to be a part of such an amazing tour with such a fantastic group…truly an honor to me! Can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks in NYC! And thanks for all your help to this newbie 😉
      xoxo

  3. Shauna, your home is stunning already, even without the real pumpkins. What an incredible way to kick off the season! That wreath is scrumptious against your newly painted black door and I MUST find that wooden bowl at my local HomeGoods! So in love!

  6. Homegoods is addictive, especially this time of the year with all the fall decorations…..I love to just go there to take it all in….it’s my happy place 🙂 I love your decorating inspiration for fall, it really looks warm and inviting. And that runner in the kitchen is so beautiful, I love it. I’d love to find a rug like that…..and those cute pumpkin mugs.

  7. Such a beautiful home!! I love the black, white & blue. So lovely. I’ve been on the lookout for new pillows & warm throws at my home goods.

  8. So happy I get to enjoy my morning coffee while drooling over your amazing fall home tour! You’re the best and I’m the luckiest. Period. End of story. Love you, Bestie!

  9. I absolutely love your home. I especially like the dark grey color in your kitchen. Can you tell me the paint color? Thanks for a great tour.

    1. Thank you Betty. I had my kitchen cabinets painted almost 3 years ago and somehow lost the paint swatch…gah! I know the color was call “Gray” or “Grey” That simple, no fancy name, but I just can’t remember the brand. I’m thinking it was Sherwin Williams though. I need to figure it out since I may need to do some touch up painting eventually. I’ll be sure to update it on my SOURCE page under Kitchen Category once I figure it out. Sorry, I’m not much help 😉

  10. Your home is very elegant. I love the blues and grays. The addition of silver accent pieces and glitzy pillows makes it festive.

  11. I am gaga for your stunning home! That couch in the loft is incredible… and the runner in your kitchen…
    I feel like I’m at Home Goods every other week and I’ve been looking for things for our bathroom makeover.

  12. I love your house. I have to get to Homegoods to get that wreath. I need that for fall. That rug is absolutely beautiful!

  13. My birthday is the first day of fall so it’s always been my favorite season! Truly enjoyed your home tour – a very lovely and cozy home! Home Goods is great because you just never know what you’ll find there and the possibilities are always something to look forward to! Thanks to all of you ladies and gent for sharing your homes and your stories – really a treat to be a part of!

  14. Your home is beautiful but I especially like the Loft. So happy for you that you got it finished and that you and your family will be able to enjoy using it during the holidays. The tray and the brass orb on the ottoman are really nice touches. All of the pillows on the couch look so good together. Your wood stained entertainment center is very unique. I love Home Goods. It’s my very favorite store.

  15. The start of your fall home tour is just gorgeous! I just found your blog yesterday and am so glad that I did! What a gorgeous home in Colorado and at the beach! 🙂

  16. Gorgeous fall home tour! Home Goods is my home away from home…where I could spend hours upon hours just walking each aisle…over and over again. I am looking for some unique fall decor this season; specifically a front door wreath, pumpkins to scatter about and I know Home Goods will not disappoint!

  17. Love the fall wreath and all the beautiful pillows. Found you over on Sand and Sisal. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

  18. I absolutely love every inch of your house! I especially love your kitchen and loft area. I am now motivated (thanks to you) to get all my Fall goodies out and oh yeah, make a quick trip to HomeGoods for some of their Fall décor. Great job on your lovely home!

  19. I love the photo you have with your boys. I’d love to find some throw pillows and a blanket to show my appreciation of Fall coming this year….I love that it’s starting to cool down.

  20. I need a runner for my dining room table in a lovely fall color. Thank you for the giveaway! I was just at our newly opened Homegoods and spent way too much money…

  21. Your home is so beautiful and inviting, absolutely love the upstairs loft. I’m already a HomeGoods shopper and in the Fall it is a favorite destination for the perfect décor. Top of the list is always candles-love them in any season. I hope to find some of those burnt orange pillows, so perfect for Fall. Thank-you for the tour and can’t wait to receive your newsletter.

  22. I love to shop for decor items, pillows and pet items at Home Goods! I’d love to find more pumpkins there to add to my collection!!

  23. Absolutely beautiful home- I love it! This would be such a blessing. I would love to purchase a new side table, a lamp and some little décor pieces for my living room!

  24. I’m buying a new house and don’t have near enough decor to fill it! I’m desperate for wall art and something to make my backyard look a little less blah.

  25. Gorgeous home! I would love to find velvet pumpkins and a new Fall wreath for the front door. Even if it dosen’t feel like Fall in Savannah yet I can still make it look like Fall!

  26. Oh what a beautiful kitchen!! I love your use of color, as well!! Homegoods? Love the place and I need some “Fall” items too…pillows, table runner and oh, yes I need a lamp! Well…to be honest, I could use a whole lot of “stuff”!! thanks for sharing your lovely home…and thanks to Homegoods for the giveaway!

  27. I will be moving into a new home, I am excited to start decorating all over, need new looks! Enjoyed looking at your pictures.

  28. I love the color of your front door. The glasses are beautiful, but the wood bowl candle holders are my very favorite! I love the picture frame and burnt orange pillow with the linen gorgeous couch and indigo pillow. Thank you for the tour.

  29. I love the colored glasses and the idea of a simple throw under your tablescape. I will now be on the lookout for one! So great you can find so much at HomeGoods. Wish I had one closer!

  30. Your home is absolutely beautiful! I love your couch and the pillows you picked out! I would buy new bedding for my guest bedroom!

  31. You have a beautiful home! Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I would love to find some lovely fall pillows for our home.

  34. Loved your fall home tour! I would love to find great pillows for fall and great fall decor for my home at Home Goods!

  35. So inviting! Thanks for your lovely home tour.
    I love love love your blue rugs..and need for my coastal Florida home!
    For fall..my fave is this large wreath you have featured.
    Off to HG I go!

  36. Love your inviting home.
    You have definitely found some treasures from Homegoods!
    I go weekly to different locations to try to not miss out on any must have items. I hadn’t even started to look for fall decor yet, I need to start so I don’t miss out on the best items. Thanks for your inspiration!

  37. Shauna!!! You’ve outdone your self this time my friend!! Every last detail is so perfect and I just wish I could hang out with you there over some hot apple cider! Thanks for sharing you lovely fall home with us and I love all of your goodies from HomeGoods!! P.S. We have the same wreath ????

  38. You have a lovely home! Thanks for sharing. I’d love to get some new pillows & outdoor decor for our deck this fall!

  39. Every year my husband tries to convince me that fall decorating has been postponed until the day before Thanksgiving. He never succeeds in gaslighting me on this issue. Pumpkins have already made their debut at both of our local farmers’ markets, and you can be sure there are several throughout our home. Even the commodes have their own mini pumpkins sitting on them. With few exceptions, all of our seasonal decorations are natural elements, like twigs and leaves, pinecones, real pumpkins, wood, and textiles. (Hey, cotton and wool are natural elements, right?) So, I’m always on the lookout for seasonal hand towels, bed linens, and throw pillows; most anything with a turkey or pumpkin printed on it will suffice. I’m not picky. Turkey or pumpkin. Or an autumn leaf.

  40. love that the sentimental items were used and the wooden bowl with apples.. especially love the brass with navy. Happy Fall !

  41. Beautiful! I love the ottoman tray with the orb. And that wooden bowl. I always say, if I win the lottery I would spend it all at Home Goods

  42. Your house us so pretty!! Homegoods is my absolute favorite store!!!!!!! I’m in need of new master bedroom bedding. Thank you for the chance 🙂

  43. Your home is lovely. Love your pumpkin mugs and that you bring them out every year with all their memories❤️ I would use the gift card to buy a new plaid throw to snuggle under.

  44. Your home is lovely. The wreath on the front door is so unique. Your dining table looks great with the wooden bowl and the yellow leaves.

  45. Your Loft turned out amazing!! It’s such an inviting and cozy looking space… I really like the Navy and burnt orange combo. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home tour!

  46. I love seeing all of the latest HomeGoods finds on this tour. HomeGoods is always my first stop. In fact, I’m headed there this weekend to look for throw pillows and a tray.

  47. I thoroughly enjoyed every single space, and every single little fall touch, Shauna!! ???????????????? It looks like you are soooo ready for fall now, and all you’ll have to do is sit back, light a fire, and enjoy some hot cider!! ????☕️ And, I’m still over here in GA sweating in the 95 degree heat, wondering if we’re ever going to see fall!! ????☀️????????????. This Ohio girl is missing those fall days!! ????????????❤️ I LOVE the new loft reveal too…it’s just perfect!! ????????????????????✨✨✨xo

    1. Thank you Debi for stopping by! I wish you could really come over and have some hot cider or wine in our cool fall weather! This is my favorite time of year in Colorado…so pretty! Your Georgia heat sounds like Florida, although they are neighbors so probably feels the same! At least you have a beautiful yard to enjoy for a longer season! Our trees are already dropping leaves here!
      xoxo

  48. We recently bought a new home, and my rug budget got wiped out before my rug NEED did! This would help:-) Your home is lovely!!

  49. Shauna! I just love your home! It’s so elegant and stylish, but also cozy and inviting! BEAUTIFUL Fall touches sweet friend! Can’t wait to see the rest! xo

  50. Just gorgeous! I need a new cake stand/footed platter, and I’d love to find a runner for the entryway, wreath for the door, and a couple of throw pillows.

  51. Love your home – thank you for sharing. Fall is such a welcome season for me. Living in So Cal we don’t get much variation outdoors, but i love to bring all of the warm, rich fall colors inside. I love your green and blue glasses and i am a huge fan of throw pillows – particularly sturdy ones that aren’t strictly for show….

  52. Love the warmth and joy of your home! Thank you for sharing your fall ideas. I’m going to put some of your ideas into play!

  53. Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Fall is one of my favorite seasons, but this year I wasn’t much into it until I saw all your decorations, I can’t wait to start decorating my house, I just wish I could be as good as you 🙂

  54. i am dying for some new pretty baskets, a throw or two and definitely a few new mugs. i seem to be a mug fanatic lately and am having withdrawals from not buying one in the past month

  55. I love the navy in your loft area! I know that wasn’t quite the point of the post… I’m always afraid to commit to a dark color especially, but the throw pillows along with the dark curtains are gorgeous!

  56. I would love to add decorations to my bedroom- my dresser is completely bare on the top so I would try to find fun things for that!

    1. Hi Rebecca! Truth be told, this particular sectional is not the comfiest because it is pretty firm and has a low back profile. We throw a lot of pillows on it to lounge against which really helps and since it’s not our main family room, we’re happy with it! Plus, love the look! But if you would be using it all the time for family lounging in a family room I’d suggest a sectional with a higher back to lean back on. Hope that helps!

  57. Come up with any theme or décor inspiration, and you will sure find what you need at Home Goods. I am relocating to Georgia from Florida, and look forward to decorating my house and browsing many sites such as yours for Inspiration. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

  58. Your home is lovely and I really enjoyed the tour. Would love some grapevine and/or velvet pumpkins from Home Goods.

  59. I would enjoy finding lots of goodies at Home Goods !!! My first stop would be the glass ware & dishes maybe some candles too. Thanks

  60. I just found your beautiful blog and thoroughly enjoyed the house tour. Your home is lovely! I have a weakness for blue and white so I loved those touches and loved that rug! I think the burnt orange pillows look very nice but I understand your hesitation. Their color is certainly nice for the Fall. I also enjoyed seeing a mix of metals!! i was surprised to read about your trees dropping their leaves already … here in Southern Ontario (Canada), our leaves haven’t changed at all. We had an incredibly hot Summer with many, many 93F days for months on end. It’s only been in the last week that (I think!!) we can turn off the air conditioner! Many Americans, I find in my travels, think of Canada as being cold; we actually grow tobacco in the area in which I live. I’d love to see your part of the USA someday … I have visited a lot of it and find Americans SO friendly. Thank you again for allowing us to view your gorgeous home!

    1. Hi Elaine! I do always think of Canada being pretty cold. Our leaves drop pretty early here even though we can still get warm days in the 80’s. We have extreme weather changes from low 40’s in morning and night to the 80’s in the day. Crazy weather here, but I do love Fall in Colorado. Thank you for leaving a sweet comment about my home. Happy fall to you! 🙂

  61. Hi Shauna….Your home is so beautiful. I loved your blog. I was interested in finding out where some of the pieces that you have. Do you have a list of the items on another blog by chance.

    Happy Holidays!

    Kristin

    1. Hi Kristin, thank you for your sweet compliments!! I have a home sources page on my blog that lists room sources. I’m still updating some of the rooms in our Colorado home. Go check it out and let me know if you still can’t find what you’re looking for. ????
