Today is SO much fun! Why, you ask? Well, because I’m taking you on a tour of my home as spruced up for Fall and Halloween (Fall-oween, if you will), and so are fifteen other talented bloggers! We’ve teamed up to bring you this fun Fall-oween Home Tour and Hop, and you can click through to see all of the tours right at the bottom of this post!
But first, let me show you around my house!
At this time of year it’s definitely got a mix of Fall and Halloween decor going on. Don’t let my scary signage from Dollar Tree keep you away. I’m happy you’re here!
Now come on in and take a peek around my living room.
The fireplace and mantel is the perfect spot to show off some of the projects I’ve done over the past year – like my Rolling Firewood Caddy and Light Up Pumpkin Sign.
And of course, don’t forget the Wood Trim Corner Block Pumpkins!
They’re a perfect addition to my decor this year!
Some new pillows in fall colors round out the look. It’s definitely fun to update a room’s look with pillows and that’s something I’m going to be better about from now on! (I’m sure my husband will be thrilled about that!)
One of the simplest but most special fall decor touches I added this year were some family photos of a recent apple picking trip. They’re a beautiful reminder of a fun day spent with family, and they look great in frames that I refinished with chalky spray paint and hung above my Changing Table Upcycle.
I am the WORST about actually printing photos I take, but I’m trying to get better. This was a big step!
As you come out of the living room, you can see that I have a few simple fall decor pieces in the dining room. I’m not one for doing fancy tablescapes, especially if I’m not entertaining, so I kept it really minimal in here.
I put this centerpiece together with an awesome wooden tray I found at Marshalls and other materials that I already had on hand; faux moss, faux greenery, and faux pumpkins. I like that it’s definitely “fall” without being over the top. The colors also work perfectly in the room!
This cute acorn banner from the Target dollar spot is also a favorite find! I love the whimsical touch it adds hanging on the mirror.
And then in the kitchen some more fun accents bring the color of the season inside. A smaller version of the wooden tray on the dining room table got a dose of fall color with some simple faux leaves in a small glass bottle adorned with a raffia bow.
And the decor on top of my backdoor boot bench got a seasonal update with faux dried hydrangeas, another Wood Trim Corner Block Pumpkin, and some adorable Halloween subway art that I got at Dollar Tree!
Over by the sink there’s not much going on, except for a cute Halloween plate that my mother-in-law gave me, and an awesome sign that says “my kids drive me batty.” My kids think this sign is awesome, but that’s because they can’t read yet.
My three-year-old keeps saying that the sign says, “my kids are serious.” What? (Sidenote: aren’t those flowers gorg? My friend gave them to me as a hostess gift a week ago and they’re still amazing!)
Well, that’s all I’ve got for you. I could only keep the toys and clutter out of plain sight for so long! Thanks so much for stopping by. Don’t let the door hit ‘ya on the way out!

JESSICA says
I could not help but look around your house, past the decor…I think I am in love with all charm and character in your home. It is stunning!
Bre says
Aw, thanks, Jess! This old house definitely has its flaws, but I do love the charm. Thanks for stopping by!
Emily, Our house now a home says
Love all of your Halloween and fall decorations! The fun feel to it is something I adore. I tend to decorate for Halloween with fun things, not too spooky. I love your home, it is so elegant and beautiful!
Bre says
Oh gosh, Emily – my kids were begging me to go spooky this year! I gave in a bit and bought tombstones for our large window box out front and then those ridiculous signs that say “Keep Out” and “Danger.” That was enough to appease them this year. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and for arranging this whole blog hop!

Ha! My kids drive me batty too! And they are very serious about it! The woodwork in your home is gorgeous! And so is that chandelier!
Bre says
Thanks so much, Rose! Some of those old features help mitigate the pain of owning an old home! 🙂
Karen says
Bre, your home is so pretty! I love your “less is more” style of fall decor, that’s how I like mine too 🙂
Now…about the house! I LOVE older homes and yours has been beautifully updated. But that kitchen door and radiator are amazing!!!
Bre says
Aw, thanks, Karen! Yes, we have tried really hard to update it but keep as many of the original features as possible! It didn’t make it into these photos, but in our kitchen we were able to save the original china cabinet from the original kitchen. It is super cool, too! Thanks for stopping by. I really enjoyed your home tour!
Sara says

Your home is gorgeous! I love the logs in the fireplace and the Thankful pillow on the couch! And the flowers in the glass pitcher are so pretty.
Bre says
Thank you, Meg! The “thankful” pillow was a Target find (although not in the dollar spot – darn!). 🙂 I enjoyed seeing your home tour, too!
