French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green (No Orange Allowed)

Fall

Welcome to my fall French home tour, with beautiful purple and green flowers.

French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green - So Much Better With Age

Before we begin this tour, I’d like to thank my friend Rachel from Maison de Pax for having me. I’ve known her for about three years now and we hang out at Haven each year. We are French lovers (wait, we love French things we are not lovers) anyway let’s move on.

Welcome to Vancouver (AKA the Wet Coast), it’s just stopped raining long enough for me to take some photos outside.

This is my new-to-me house (Sweet Little Bungalow) and this is its first fall tour probably ever. There is still plenty to do for curb appeal outside but I’ve added some mums, white pumpkins (I  scoured the town and found odd ones here and there in little florist shops) and, of course, crocks (because I’m obsessed with crocks) holding florals that resemble vegetables. The salesperson at the garden centre I went to made sure to tell me not to eat them, they just resemble vegetables. Point taken although I was aware this wasn’t a grocery store.

(Side note: at the time this post was published, white pumpkins galore in every store. Of course.)

So let’s take a tour inside and I’ll show you how I decorated for fall without using any orange (because I’m not a fan) and instead chose purple and green, totally not fall colors or are they?

Welcome to the living room. The seating area by the window has a bit of a vaulted ceiling as you can tell. It’s a quaint little spot.

I’ve been obsessing over this seeded eucalyptus this season. The color is perfect with the heirloom pumpkins. French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / French limestone mantel, neutral decor, heirloom pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / French limestone mantel, neutral decor, heirloom pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus on mantel - So Much Better With Age

I still have to fix this broken mirror but for now it adds character. French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / French limestone mantel, neutral decor, heirloom pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus and wooden mirror - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / French limestone mantel, neutral decor, heirloom pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus, and wall sconce - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / French limestone mantel, neutral decor, heirloom pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus and gold wall sconce - So Much Better With Age

The little corner by the window has purple/blue hydrangeas from my garden. I clipped them this summer for my kitchen details post. French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple and blue hydranageas in dough bowl - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple and blue hydranageas - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple and blue hydranageas in dough bowl on table - So Much Better With Age

Now let’s take you to the dining room where I’ve decorated my table with more purple hydrangea and a beautiful purple linen tablecloth I purchased in St. Emilion, France this year.

This is a tip that I stole from Heather Bullard from my trip to France, she used French yogurt jars to hold candles.

The French love their yogurt and most are sold in glass jars and it’s the best yogurt you’ll ever taste.

Anyway, I brought a bunch back (cleaned jars, not the yogurt) but I also found some French yogurt at my Whole Foods store.

I added epsom salts to hold the pillar candles. French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple hydrangeas, purple French linen tablecloth, white pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple hydrangeas, purple French linen tablecloth, white pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus - So Much Better With Age

I made a simple place card with a kraft tag, jute twine and a sprig of seeded eucalyptus. French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Table setting - So Much Better With Age

The centrepiece is very simple with white pumpkins, hydrangeas and eucalyptus on two metal trays (so funny, I just realized that post was a competition between Rachel and I!)French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple hydrangeas, purple French linen tablecloth, white pumpkins, seeded eucalyptus green, candles on table - So Much Better With Age French Fall Home Tour with Purple and Green / Purple hydrangeas, purple French linen tablecloth, white pumpkins, green seeded eucalyptus on table - So Much Better With Age

  5. So beautiful, Jamie! I’m not much of a fan of orange either. I think that’s why I usually decorate a bit for fall then look forward to Christmas decor. Although, you’ve shown it can be lovely without using traditional fall colours.

  6. Absolutely stunning! And the decorating is beautiful too! I love how you managed to make it feel like fall without the orange! Well done!

  9. Jamie, your home is gorgeous. I LOVED the tour and all your white pumpkins and eucalyptus. I can’t seem to find white pumpkins here yet. Hopefully soon! Just stunning, my friend. xx

    • Thanks Danielle. Isn’t it annoying about the pumpkins? I couldn’t believe when I went to the store today and saw them everywhere…right after I posted. I hope you find some soon!
      Hugs, Jamie

  10. I am just in love with your dining room tablescape! Gorgeousness everywhere. Tres bien! Truth be told, I’m a little jealous that you’re wearing boots already – it’s still too warm here for that. I’m ready for those crisp September mornings, complete with crunchy grass!

  21. Beautiful color palette for Fall.
    One request, I know that the tight shots are beautiful aesthetically, but could you put in a few more full shots that give us an idea of how the whole table looks? It’s too beautiful not to see. Thanks!
