Fall Blocks and Fall-i-days Tour

Fall

I’m excited to be a part of another fall tour with some good blogger friends of mine.

Today I’m going to show you how to make simple fall blocks too.

Okay, come on in for the fall tour!

Fall blocks on a galvanized bucked with a crock on top of it.

Welcome to my home!

A small table in the foyer with a galvanized bucket and crock on top of it.

Did you know I’m in Canada? Well, I had to add some maple leaves. I love adding natural elements to my home especially for the fall.

A crock on top of the bucket with fall leaves inside it.

And what a better way than adding something from your own backyard. It adds height too which I love in this grand space. If you are a follower of my blog, then you know how much I love crocks and I just added this one on top of a galvanized bucket turned upside down. I also thought it needed a bow. {burlap, of course}.

There is a burlap bow tied around the bucket.

I have another version of my foyer too because I just can’t decide which way I like better.

There are maple leaf branches inside a vase on the table.

See those little wooden blocks that spell fall? I’ve had a couple of friends tell me that they think it says FAIL. Welcome to my home…I hope you fail! NOT!

Wooden blocks with the letters FALL painted on them in white.

So I had to change it up. I turned them over and spelled them with CAPITAL letters so there was no confusion. Geesh.

UP close picture of the FALL blocks.

Would you like to know how I made them? Well, I purchased that little stool and those blocks in their natural state from Michael’s.

And stained them both with Minwax Dark Walnut.

Then I just drew the word FALL {not fail!} freehand with grey paint.

That’s it! Cute and simple DIY!

A glass cloche with a silver pumpkin underneath.

Let’s move on into my dining room.

A table set for fall, with small pumpkins on the plates.

I found these adorable brass deer at a flea market a few months ago. Then I added some bright glittery pumpkins I bought at Michael’s and the rest of my details are pretty rustic.

Little gold reindeers are on the table.

For once I was able to use my nice china but my glasses are just thick water goblets.

Glittery pumpkins are on the table.

Then I used my chicken wire basket for fresh rolls and added some berry garland that I got from Michael’s as well and just wrapped it all along the edge.

There is a chicken wire basket on the table with bread inside it.

Oh, there’s another sweet little deer grazing.

Let’s move on to my living room!

Fall mantel with a small wreath attached to the front of the fireplace with a ribbon.

I kept with a neutral mantel in my neutral living room.

There is a fall mantel with pumpkins and leaves plus books on it.

I made this Seasonal Burlap Frame and added a decorative toile pumpkin to it. Super easy!

There is a white pumpkin on the fireplace mantel.

I added some branches from my backyard again to either side of the mantel in a clear vase.

I shopped my house and added old books and some more glittery pumpkins. Rustic and glam. Love it!

Fall branches are in a clear glass vase.

I made these vintage pumpkins with Annie Sloan chalk paint and dark wax. They are super easy to paint!

Vintage white pumpkins are on the mantel.

Look at this fall split pea wreath I made, such an easy fall wreath DIY.

Split pea wreath.

Here is my mantel without the branches or the objects by the hearth for a more simpler decor.

A simple fall mantel.

I can’t decide which one I like better.

In my kitchen eating area, I just added some white pumpkins under a glass cloche and placed it all on a silver tray.

A round table with a glass cloche filled with mini pumpkins.

Did you notice my chalkboard? I keep seeing ‘It’s Fall Y’all’ and since I’m from Canada I thought I’d add an ‘eh’ instead.

    Ha ha! I love “It’s Fall, Eh?” So perfect for a Canadian like you! And I never tire of touring your home, Jamie. It really feels like such a retreat. And that’s too funny about “fail” versus “fall.” Although I didn’t see “fail” the first time, better to be safe than sorry. Also, I learned a new word: cloche! Thanks for helping to expand my vocabulary!

    Soooo loved doing this hop with you lovelies. Let’s do it again sometime, eh? 😉

      Thanks so much, my dear Lauren! Yeah, not sure why they thought it was fail but at least it’s much clearer now!
      Hugs,
      Jamie

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
