When Kristen and Lindsay contacted me about this fall home tour, I was thrilled. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. Crisp mornings, apple cider and cinnamon anything. I’m not a huge holiday decorator. It is one of the busiest times of the year for my interior design business and often times my home gets very little attention. But this year was different. Why?
Because of these two. This picture was taken at our local pumpkin patch where we have bought pumpkins for the past 9 years. (Yes, since my oldest was only 1 year old.) They loaded up pumpkins in all shapes, colors and sizes.
Here is what we ended up with. Ok, I helped a bit with the presentation, but Eric and the girls handled all the carving!
This is one of my favorite additions to our fall decor. The vine is left over from summer. Stack up the pumpkins and you’re done! My kind of holiday decor!
Don’t you love the big teeth and tongue? After it was done, my first thought was of Miley Cyrus, but to my girls she is still Hannah Montana, so I kept my comment to myself. Ha ha!
These fun ghosts are a great addition for Halloween and once the holiday is over, I can just pull them out and these pots will be perfect through winter.
I keep things simple inside. Fall’s colors work well with my home’s color palette. I added a few gourds to one of my favorite bowls here. I love the fact that I can keep this out through Thanksgiving.
Love this cozy spot in our kitchen. It’s still too warm for a fire, but it won’t be long… By the way, check out next week’s post and see what happens with that orange bowl on the table. Doesn’t it look like it’s missing something? I’ve finally figured out what to do with it and I’ll be posting about it next week!
Simple Happy Halloween blocks and pumpkins add just enough of that holiday flair.
So, that’s it for us this fall! Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out Jennifer’s post tomorrow!

Wow how have I never seen your blog before? Love your entry way. Those doors are stunning and all the pumpkins are so fun.
Thank you so much Julia! I feel the same about your wonderful blog!
Lori… your home looks lovely all decked out for Fall. Your front door is beautiful!! And, I am very impressed with the pumpkin carving. Ours never look that good. My boys favor the “vomiting” jack o’lantern… it’s charming. Would you mind telling me the paint color on your kitchen walls? It looks beautiful!
Ha! I will keep the vomiting pumpkin to myself or I’m sure that’s what will be on our porch next year!
The color in the kitchen is Behr’s silver sage. It’s actually the same color as the exterior of our house as well.
Take care!
I just adore the exterior of your home 🙂 I would love to have that…ours is a brick ranch, and I dream of exteriors like this! Beautiful! xo Kristin
Thank you Kristin. You should see the before pics of ours. We had red brick and painted the brick and siding all the same color. Might be a good idea for a ranch as well.
Have a great day!
Sweet home tour. You have a beautiful family! And your pumpkins made me smile : ]
Thank you Jennifer!
Can’t go wrong with pumpkins for fall decorating! Your carved pumpkins are SO SO fun! Pinning right now!
your exterior is so fun and welcoming! and what a gorgeous family!
Oh my goodness, I would never leave your front porch! Everything looks beautiful, Lori. Your family is adorable!
Thanks so much Jennifer! We do spend a lot of time out there!
Gorgeous, Lori! I really am so blown away by your beautiful cozy home and I’m with Jennifer, I would never leave that porch. Sorry for the late commenting…I’m catching up after a blogging conference 🙂 Thanks for joining us!
Wow! Your fall front porch is so welcoming. I love the three stacked pumpkins in the summer vine. Do you happen to know the name of the vine? It has such a nice blue green undertone. Thank you for sharing your home tour with us!
Thank you Emily! I wish I could tell you what the vine is. To be honest, back in the spring, I chose that vine because I also loved the color. I have no idea what it is!
Take care and thanks for visiting!
That’s ok, Lori! I’ll look for it this spring. Thank you for the reply!
Wow…Lori! I love love love all the pumpkins and gourds on your front porch! It looks gorgeous. I am so happy that this series has introduced me to you and your amazing work! And that green entryway table has my heart…it’s stunning. 😉
I love it lori! Im headed out to get some more pumpkins today, and you have inspired me! it looks great!
Love your front doors, would love to know the brand and stain – thank you!!
