I don’t know how many times I’ve started posts this fall telling you guys how much I love fall, but I’m gonna do it again because it’s true. I love fall! I love the smells, the colours, the weather, the fact that it means Christmas is on its way. I’ll take a year of falls over a year of Springs or Winters any day. It’s only natural that my home should look its best for fall, because I feel like deep down I’ve been styling it for fall all along. With that being said, my Bold, Bright & Colourful Fall Home Tour is something I’ve been building on for a few weeks now. You can click through to each individual post to catch a certain space or craft in all its glory, or just enjoy it as a whole here, much like I intended.

While I remember, I want to thank Christina from The DIY Mommy and Shannon from AKA Design for hosting the tour and wrangling everyone for their link and photo. They’ve both got such distinct styles and have such a lovely touch when it comes to fall decor. If you’re joining me from Kim Power Style, The Creek Line House,
Sustain My Craft Habit or northern style exposure – Welcome! You can read a little bit more about me // here //.
Don’t forget, if you love any of the pieces you see you can shop my look // here //.
Starting at the front door, I used fall classics and some pieces from the Spring ORC // here // to complete the look. Mums are so perfectly cheery and bright – perfect for fall – and they’re hardy enough for the changing weather. I think they look right at home in my thrifted chinoiserie planters on my stoop. So far no squirrels have made off with anything, so I’ll count that as a victory.

The entryway is simple; pumpkins and some turkeys. They don’t leave a whole lotta room for a purse, but they’re highly impactful and very a propos. The best part is that I can move them around so that they can double elsewhere. There’s nothing worse than when you buy decor that can only serve in one spot – I like my pieces to be multipurpose.

The living room has subtle changes this fall. I’ve got a few embroidery hoop wreaths that I made // here // and placed around the bookcases. Because this space is already so colourful it would be easy to overhwelm the space with more warm colours and pumpkins. Even last year // here // I didn’t do too much to the living room and it was all in the small details.

The Kitchen is too busy to really dress-up for the season. We have such little counter space that I can’t really give too much of it away to pumpkins – try as I may. I’ve got my DIY Fabric pumpkins // here // as well as large pumpkin tureen to help spice things up. Are there mallamar pumpkin candies in there? or aren’t there? You tell me.
I nabbed the pink Le Creuset salt pig at Homesense a few weeks ago. They’ve started carrying more of their pieces and I had been looking for one forever, so I was glad to snatch it up when I did! I’ll have more about the kitchen soon as I show you guys how I jazz-up a store bought pie for thanksgiving.
These delightful fabric pumpkins are hanging-out in our dining room. I won’t be sharing too much of this space because it’s the one I’m making over for the upcoming fall One Room Challenge. The pumpkins are all made using fabrics from Fabric.com.

Make sure visit the others bloggers in the hop and see what they’re up to style-wise. I know I’ve got a few favourites already, and can’t wait to hear what you all think!

I absolutely love your entrance with the bold stripe and the proud pumpkins contrasted there so perfectly and those wreaths are just wonderful! I’m the same, give me all of the fall all of the time – awesome tour! 🙂
Glad I caught you with my entryway 😉 It’s a bold mix for sure, some have even suggested Beetlejuice! ahaha
Love your colourful home! I think favourite little touch might be the cool retro birds with the modern orange pumpkins and simple straight. So fun. And those fabric pumpkins are awesome too.
those little salt and pepper shakers are good times. I think they’re the perfect touch for fall and especially thanksgiving. Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Those turkeys get around! The green chair is a perfect hit of coniferous forest for this time of year. That sideboard is sensational! 🙂
they sure do! I bought them ages ago and they sat on my shelf for a while. Now they’re making the rounds!
I think it’d be hard to ever be upset in your home with all of the bright and cheery decor. Of course, I love all of the blue and white ceramics (i scored a bunch at the thrift shop this week, in fact). You definitely have a knack for putting colours together where most would be afraid. Perfectly executed!
Aha! I’m glad my home inspires joy and life! I’m a colour wizard after all 😉
I always love your tours, there are always so many little details to pour over. And the vintage of course. So fun.
Well shucks, I’ll take that compliment for sure! I love the fact that I take time to place all the details and they are then appreciated.
Super cheery and fun tour!! Love your welcoming pops of colour everywhere!
Thanks girl! I try to welcome everyone with all my colour 🙂
I’ve started to really look forward to your tours now because they’re always such a breath of fresh air. Love all that colour even though I can never seem to get a handle on doing anything like that in my own home!
Aww thank you Courtenay <3 You can always spot my pic in the collage that's for sure 😉 You've just described how I feel about all the white decor! I love it, but not for me.
I love your bold style, Ariel! The entry is my favourite with the striped piece and all the pumpkins. So fun!
I Love your love of colour…I’m always excited to see how you have decorated for the seasons! I have to say that your black and white striped cabinet with the pumpkins is my absolute favourite! love love love
I love all the different pumpkins you have! I also love your pink walls and gallery wall. So pretty 😉
Hugs, Jamie
The entryway with the pumpkins on stripes is so eyecatching and lovely! The flowers and pumpkins and stripes on the porch are awesome too. Like the others who commented, I too love your use of colour. It’s so fresh and cheering. Bruce is a pretty friggin’ cute touch too! haha
Thanks Joann 🙂 I love that entryway something fierce, so I’m glad the pumpkins look right at home there.
