Fall Home Tour 2016 - Family Room

Welcome to our family room, always my favorite spot to add some touches for fall. This year, especially, we are nesting at home as my husband recuperates from surgery (it went well thank goodness!). There is nothing like a health scare to force you to slow down and count your blessings. That is definitely what we are doing this fall.

I started out by re-arranging the furniture just a bit. This room feels cozier (and a bit smaller) with the sofa facing the fireplace and cozy is exactly what I was going for this autumn.

The stone fireplace is always the star of the show at this time of year. I added a few pumpkins, books and dried hydrangeas to the mantel. The wooden lanterns on the raised hearth are a new addition this year from Hayneedle.com.

The faux orange pumpkin was a HomeGoods find this year and the smaller white and blue pumpkins are from Wal-Mart (and at just under $3/pumpkin they are a great value! I found them in a bin by the produce department). Both the hay wreath and "count your blessings" sign are HomeGoods finds from years past, but I have seen similar items there this year.

Sitting by the fire with a book or magazine is my idea of the perfect way to relax on those first chilly evenings.

I hung the pallet sign I DIY-ed a few years back on the planked gallery wall and added a few fall scene paint by numbers.

I love the warmth the Pottery Barn console table behind the sofa brings to the room. I have been stalking the large Beachcomber baskets at PB for years but could never bring myself to spend the money (they are $$). I was so excited to find a very similar basket at HomeGoods recently for a fraction of the cost.

We have grown accustomed to using this round table in the family room. Board games, quick meals, homework and art projects are just a few of the things that happen here.

Down here, I enjoy keeping this room more traditional and full of the warm colors of fall. Upstairs, things are a lot lighter and brighter with a few pops of fall color. I hope you'll stop by next week when I continue this tour in our kitchen.
Warm and cozy family room with lots of ideas for fall decor.

  6. This room is just the kind of room I'd like to snuggle down in to. That fireplace is gorgeous - the stone is beautiful with the wooden mantel, especially the arch. Just overall wonderful, so cozy! And if I had a Dak to lay on the rug next to my chair . . . well, that would just be the icing on the cake :)

  11. I'm inspired that you use dark colors in your decorating with dogs! I have five (1 a golden) and I have hair EVERYWHERE!! How do you handle keeping it off the pillows, etc.?

    1. There IS hair everywhere and I am forever vacuuming! I use a lint roller to get the hair off the pillows quite frequently.
