Welcome to our little farmstead as autumn leaves begin to fall...

In our home this season, autumn whites and woods meet pale shades of orange and green. Much of our fall decor is provided by nature. 

I'm excited to be part of the "bHome for Fall Tour" and am so glad you stopped by! Links to the other home tours in today's lineup are at the end of the post.

Warming Up White For Fall... {The Entryway}

Have I mentioned that our previous home was filled with color? I was inspired by the French Country master of design - Charles Faudree. As I flipped through the pages of his books, I was in awe of how he would layer patterns and textures and bring out a home's personality and charm. Each room seemed to have a story to tell. 

Well, I didn't quite achieve the look of Mr. Faudree, but we enjoyed our warm and welcoming home for eight precious years. Then, about the time we were looking to move (two years ago), I became drawn to a more simple, lighter interior. Maybe with three young boys, I realized we didn't need the added interest and "excitement" of toiles, checks and roosters anymore. 

I hoped for a home that would be a welcoming backdrop for family memories, but that wouldn't compete with its people for attention. A more restful, sun-faded interior, could balance our family nicely. So began the love affair with whites and neutrals. And more recently, I'm starting to embrace less in a room, more often.

Happy Autumn on the Farm...

Happy first official day of Fall!

Last week, my sister texted me, saying there was a "vintage antique country" sale being advertised by where she lived. Vintage, antique and country. 

This was serious. We were on it.

I found this rustic vintage wood scoop that I filled with our *new* colored eggs...

A More Neutral, Natural Palette of Fall...

I hope your week is going well.

Just stopping in to share a few photos of rustic fall-time beauty taken from nature.

Branches with changing leaves, apples and wheat pair nicely with bread boards, vases of white and woven baskets.

With simplicity, we welcome the crisp autumn air...

Decorating for Early Fall in the Family Room...

Our kiddos are getting ready to head back to school and the weather has started cooling down. Even though it's still officially summer, back-to-school time reminds us that autumn is right around the corner.

Sun faded flowers, antlers, and a few pale pumpkins help transition our home from summer to fall...
