Hi everyone and welcome to the first day of the 2015 Fall Home Tour series which will be showcasing 30 of your favorite blogger homes all decked out for this glorious season. I am so thrilled to be part of this parade of homes since the fall is my absolute favorite time of the year! If you are visiting 21 Rosemary Lane for the first time I hope you will become a regular reader, it would be great to have you along for the ride. And if you are arriving here from Jeanette's blog Snazzy Little Things welcome and enjoy the next leg of this bloggy tour!
This year I kept our front porch very simple. Just some mums and seasonal wreath to accent the front door. These 2 wicker chairs are slated to be the end chairs of my new table (we are currently creating) for the back screened in porch area.
(More of the back porch's new look at the end of the tour.)
Come on in!
Our fall entry features a Home Goods pitcher filled with autumn inspired florals.
I so adore this small hutch my dear friend Colene gave me last year. I really love to decorate it for each of the seasons.
The living room is sprinkled with pretty oranges and natural hues. A great contrast to all of the turquoise in this space.
Our dining room has more of a colonial vibe, so I typically like to decorate it using natural seasonal elements like gourds and squashes. However it is a little too early for pumpkins in these parts so instead I used what I happen to have on hand...fresh tomatoes and peppers right out of our garden. Tossed together in a pretty white pasta bowl, our garden goodies make a lovely seasonal centerpiece display.
The buffet's mirror is adorned with another colorful autumn wreath.
And now on to our newest redecorated space...the screened in porch! Since we moved here some 13 years ago the porch has been in desperate need of new screens, so this summer we were finally able to tackle this rather large project. In addition to replacing the screens we also painted the entire wood frame both inside and out, and Mr. Rosemary Lane added the wood "X's" to the lower portion of the screens. This was to not only reinforce the screens but to also to deter our family's 100 lb. furbaby from creating his own entrances and exits on and off the porch.
Almost every piece of white wicker was either found or given to me with the exception of the chair and rocker which were both thrift shop and yard sale finds.
I am so in love with all of the fresh blue and white in this space. The color combination is very nautical yet it is easy to add accent colors to create a seasonal feel.
There is our furbaby now! No busting through our new screens in Mr. Buster!
Our other furbaby Moe decided to grab a catnap on one of the settees!
I sure hope you enjoyed this fall tour of our home. The next blog up on this tour is the beautiful blog Peaceful Home Decor.
