SOFTER SIDE OF FALL HOME TOUR, PART 1

SOFTER SIDE OF FALL HOME TOUR- Fall is the perfect time to decorate your home in the softer colors of fall. Lots of home decor ideasI think Lancaster County does fall like no other place on earth. It wears it so beautifully. Rustling golden cornfields and pumpkin patches dot the rambling, bucolic countryside and are as plentiful as roadside farmstands! Leaves saturated with brilliant color fall quietly on country lanes and covered bridges. And quintessential fall elements like mums, marigolds, hay bales, and big plump pumpkins fill front porches alongside rocking chairs draped with cozy quilts. Lancaster County is spectacular in the fall! A real throwback of bygone days and nature’s bounty!  Not to be outdone by all the beauty outside, I’m celebrating fall inside too!

 

A B-I-G THANKS to Laura at Finding Home for inviting me to celebrate fall with her and some other FABULOUS bloggers. I’m in such lofty company and thrilled to be a part of this tour! StoneGable readers, make sure to visit Laura and say thanks! You are in for such a treat!

This year I am easing into fall decor! Starting with very soft colors and simple designs and as we delve deeper into the fall season my color palette will take on more saturated tones! Fall is more than orange pumpkins and corn stalks. 

Our area really could be called “pumpkinland”. You can find every shape and size and kind of pumpkin your sweet heart desires! But it is still just a week or so early to bring home our natural bounty in bulk! I was lucky enough to find a few pumpkins at the Amish stand down the road and I bought every one!

And what I could not find at the Amish stand I made myself. I have been up to my eyeballs in faux (sounds better than fake) orange pumpkins. I’ve been transforming them into blue and green and white pumpkins for days! It’s nice to have the real thing, but now I have a stash of faux pumpkins in colors I love.

You can find a tutorial for transforming orange pumpkin white HERE.

Today I’m sharing the front part of my home. It’s a little more formal… arched windows, wainscoting, high ceilings, interesting millwork, french doors. This year I’m keeping the fall decorations a tad more formal and quite simple. A nod to the architecture of our home! 

One, big, over-the-top fall display sprawls across my dining room table. I think it calls enough attention to itself so the rest of the fall decor in the front of the house is way  more subtle!

The inspiration for this year’s decor are two pumpkin pillows that grace the head chairs in the dining room.

The buffet is simply decorated with a wooden tiered stand filled with lots of white decor! 

My garden is filled with huge busy amaranth plants. Small round globes in white and purple and lavender. Using what I have in the garden I picked a basket full of white amaranth to add to StoneGable this fall!

I think of the front of my home ia sorta like a bowling alley. It’s long and the foyer connects the living room and dining room! Very open!

Now let’s head to the living room.

Bittersweet is one of my favorite fall elements to decorate with in the fall. And Lancaster County is full of this invasive plant! Hedgerows and fallow fields often are filled with it. Again, it’s just a tad early for it to be harvested.  When I can get my hands on this pretty, nuisance plant I’ll add it to the decor in my living room.

This sweet pumpkin is called “porcelain doll”.  So interesting! I put it on a wire pedestal cake rack!

  1. Yvonne, what a beautiful softer side of autumn! Your dining room table is the piece de resistance…definitely the wow factor! I love all the soft tones…just beautiful and inviting, as always! Thanks for welcoming me into your home! Blessings, Pam @ Everyday Living

  2. You are blessed to live in such a beautiful part of our country. Here in Michigan, we have numerous small Amish communities and my husband and I love visiting and shopping at their businesses and roadside stands. I bought last years mini pumpkins from an Amish farm stand. Your pumpkins look lovely.

  3. Karen VanLoo says:

    Just beautiful, Yvonne! I love the subtle blue pumpkins. I never thought of painting the faux pumpkins in those tones, but I love that idea! I live in the deep south, and our pumpkins don’t start coming out until October because it’s so warm here. I love the idea of painting them in those soft tones. The fairy tale pumpkins are some of my favorites in the blue and gray tones. Thank you for the inspiration today, I just love your Fall home tours. They’re my favorite!

  4. It all looks wonderful! Fall is my favorite season ! We were on the other side of PA this summer visiting family and also enjoyed the farm stands and Amish stores (Volant) It is so quaint and beautiful! Thanks for sharing! karen…

  5. Peggy spencer says:

    Love everything.The white pumpkins are my favorite.Oh how I wish I could see your part of the country.I have always loved Lancaster and surrounding communities.i will never be fortunate enough to go, but I have many books on them.I dream of fields of bittersweet.My son found some in the mountains a couple of years ago,and brought me some.I think that was my favorite thing I have ever received.

  6. Mary Stevens says:

    I love love love your home and your fall deco!! You have a wonderful talent!

  7. Hoping to visit your beautiful area in October. Save some of those pale and pastel pumpkins. Loving your softer side.

    1. Make sure you go to the PUMPKIN WAGON. Ask around and I’m sure someone will direct you to it!

      1. Cindy Sensenig says:

        Is the pumpkin wagon in Willow Street? If not could you tell me what town it’s close too? I live in Sinking spring and I plan on heading to the PB outlet tomorrow? I would love to visit the pumpkin wagon while in the area

  8. Sherry Pelle says:

    Your dining room table is so lovely! I’m so enjoying how you’re displaying the softer side of fall with all the easy on your eyes colors. So beautiful! Yvonne, do you have a color formula or tutorial for painting the pumpkins the beautiful blue and green?

  9. Fall is my favorite!!! Thank you for all the pictures!!!

  10. i love the unexpected here. the softs with the bold black and white stripe rug. the rustic with the acrylic. and of course all the white pumpkins. can’t wait for it to truly feel like fall here!
    b

  11. Love your house in all seasons but fall is my favorite. So happy it’s that time of year again. Looking forward to part 2!

    Kristen 🙂

  12. Great way to ease into Fall! It’s still in the 90’s here this week in MO so going all out with Fall colors and decor seems premature. I like this idea plus you get to take your time and enjoy the process.

  13. Carol Elkins says:

    Your home is beautiful!!!

  14. Kay McDowell says:

    Love the pillows, you inspire me to go out and find that perfect pillow for the season.

  15. Becky Jancosko says:

    Lovely! My flowers are still blooming but the evenings are getting cooler in CO. Fall will be here soon enough. Not ready to go there yet, but I love the ideas. Especially the white pumpkins. Soft and simple!

  16. Wow, this is stunning. If an artist had created your “porcelain doll”, it would be Peter Paul Rubens.

  17. Freda Carroll says:

    Love the softer colors you have used for Fall!

  18. Just beautiful, Yvonne! The softer side of fall suits my home too, as well as my style, and mixes beautifully with all our French antiques. Happy Autumn!

  19. Yvonne, your blog is my absolute favorite! I follow several bloggers, but I ALWAYS find inspiration in yours. Thank you for working so hard to present beautiful pictures, ideas, recipes, and Spiritual inspiration! You are the best!

  20. Doreen Bednarski says:

    I love the simple beauty of the soft colors. Well done!! I can just picture Lancaster county from your vivid description. Makes me want to jump in the car and drive the six hours it would take to get there. When is your peak leaf time? Suggest areas to visit and places to dine. Thanks so much.

    1. Make sure you go to the PUMPKIN WAGON. Ask around and I’m sure someone will direct you to it!B

  21. Feels like I’ve been waiting for weeks to see your fall décor and you haven’t disappointed!! Your table is gorgeous!!! And it just dawned on me that I have some “faux” pumpkins that are crying to be painted. I think I’ll try the soft blue/green on a couple and see how they look. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery!!! Can’t wait to see the rest.

  22. Carolyn George says:

    Love your ideas and the way you implement beauty in your home……wish I could start over! I have mostly neutrals, but I do have a sage green, coral and peach print (chair, round tablecloth, pillows) that limit my wishes!

  23. darla coffman says:

    I really love your decorating ! You are blessed with a wonderful talent to be so creative. Thank you so much for allowing us to see your beautiful home.

  24. Rita Spicer says:

    I spent part of my weekend painting faux pumpkins also. I went for blues and greens, but a little more saturated color that you have since I have brown leather sofas in my room. I love your softer side of fall also.

  25. Betty Hill says:

    Absolutely beautiful!

  26. Marty@A Stroll Thru Life says:

    This is absolutely stunning Yvonne. I love it all.

  27. Simple yet elegant! Love it!

  28. I love, love, love your dining table centerpiece! You would think it would be too heavy or cluttered, but yours doesn’t at all. How many pumpkins have you used throughout your house? I never thought of softer colors for fall and how inspiring to add colors later in the season. I love bittersweet, but the faux ones doesn’t measure up. We used to have a farm which had bittersweet–oh the nostalgia.

  29. Love it all but really want to know where to get those pretty beaded pillows? I LOVE them and have some similar for Christmas time but the fall colors are perfect!!!! More inspiration!
    Love it all – thank you, Yvonne!

  30. Lovely, as usual!
    I always see the tables beautifully done for holidays and wonder where the food goes! Lol! I need a wider table to accommodate food and beautiful decor. 🙂

  31. Cassandra e says:

    That tumble of pumpkins on the table is stunning. Such a great idea to paint pumpkins. I could not tell what was what. I like your bowling alley too. 😉

  32. Yvonne, your home looks absolutely stunning in these beautiful soft Fall colors. You have done a wonderful job! Everything looks gorgeous!!!

  33. Dorinda Selke says:

    Oh I’m just loving the softer colors of fall. I have these colors in our master bedroom and I treated myself to that same pumpkin pillow at Pier 1 this year. I’m just loving all the autumn decorating this year !! Hugs, Dorinda

  34. Beautiful! I love the neutral pumpkins!

  35. So beautiful. Love all the different colors of pumpkins.

  36. I’m loving it all, Yvonne, so beautiful!! I painted dollar store pumpkins last year with the typical (cheap) craft paint (in a muted blue) then rubbed them here and there with antiquing medium and they still look good. May I ask a question? If company popped in and stayed for dinner, is there still room at your dining room table for placemats and dinner plates … or do you find you have to remove some of the pumpkins around the perimeter? I’m assuming you can leave most (if not all) of it remaining on the table.

  37. To say I love your home is an understatement!!!! Fall is my favorite season and your home makes me want to start decorating my own for fall now too. I love Lancaster, need to make a trip there and enjoy it again as its been a few years. Thank you for sharing!!

  38. So many ideas to steal! What a beautiful display of fall! You always have the most gorgeous items in your home. I try really hard not to envy, but to just get inspiration!!

  39. Beautiful pics! I love the centerpiece.

  40. “Bountiful” is an adjective which describes your dining room table. The wreath pillows add great texture & visual appeal.

  41. I love your pillows with the blue pumpkins and the softer look of fall in your home with all the white pumpkins. For some reason, I’m not in the mood for all the orange pumpkins this year and I think I’m going to keep my fall decor on the softer side. Thanks for the inspiration!

  42. Don’t get me wrong, I like orange pumpkins but the white and blue pumpkins are so beautiful! It looks so peaceful and elegant but also cozy and welcoming. Thanks for all the great decorating ideas!

  43. Wow, what a beautiful tour. I am going pumpkin hunting in two weeks and I can’t wait. I always wait for your post to get my day going. The neutral palette is inspiring. You have a beautiful home.

  44. Love those white amaranths – I really need to plant some in my garden next year. And the beaded wreath pillows are so sweet.

  45. Yvonne, your home is simply lovely!! I love everything about it. I find that I am wanting to use more subtle tones this fall. I am loving the burlap pumpkins! Course, I love everything burlap!

    Hope you enjoy every beautiful thing Fall brings you this season!

  46. Carol Swanson says:

    Thank you for reminding me that I can buy one of the fall vines of leaves and bittersweet at Dollar Tree and snip pieces off to use in vingnettest!

  47. Mary Bogart says:

    I love white and gray pumpkin!! I am in love with those beautiful pillows on the bubble chairs!

  48. Diane Walters says:

    You’ve done it once again!

  49. Love your decorations style and your beautiful home all gussied up for Fall!

  50. Love the blue and white pumpkins…another painting project, can’t wait! Thanks for sharing!

  51. debkaplun@rochester.rr.com says:

    I am in love with what you have done for Fall! I can’t wait to get started!

  52. Beth Beard says:

    Beautifully done!

  53. I just ordered a similar wreath pillow that says “Grateful” inside the wreath. How Fun! Now I’m really excited to get my hands on it. Your “calm” Fall decor is inspiring.
    PS: I spotted that lonely orange pumpkin in the mix though 🙂

  54. Love the tablescaping with “recycled” faux pumpkins. Thanks for the painting idea.

  55. Patti Kander says:

    Love the softer side of fall that you have in your home for fall. I guess I’m one who thinks of fall as oranges, browns, golden yellows, reddish colors. I guess I like the colorful side. Your home is absolutely beautiful. Happy Fall to you.

  56. Love the beaded pillows. Where did you purchase them?

  57. Marcy Leonard says:

    Am so enjoying your house tour today–have left and come back three times now! Here in the middle of Texas we were blessed with a surprise week of rain in August, and for once we are not entering September all scorched and baked. Fall really does seem to be on its way; right on cue scattered little elm leaves have started to turn and fall. Love the variety of pumpkins here, there, and everywhere–and their soft colors–but what really caught my eye is your table lamps. I know I have been seeing them in many previous blogs, but the one on the foyer chest really grabbed my attention today. The glass base is interesting, but what drew me is the shade. Did you add that trim yourself, or did it come that way? Would really like you to do a blog on choosing lamps in general and ways to repurpose and update “tired” ones. (as if you were ever low on ideas–not!)

  58. Teresa Alexander says:

    so very pretty! thank you!

  59. Beautiful! At some time in the future, can you please enclose a picture of your hallway lit up using the white pottery crocks? I would love to see that 🙂

  60. Just beautiful! You always have the cutest pillows.

  61. Beautiful home. You are blessed to live in such a magnificent place. Is your husband comfortable with all of the white and decorations? I cannot hold a candle to you.

  62. Thanks Tina for the tutorial on painting pumpkins. I have everything so no excuses! Love your style especially in the Fall!

  63. Looks so cozy, pretty and ready for fall ♥

  64. Nancy Mattox says:

    Always beautiful no matter the season. May I come home now?

  65. Valerie Tingley says:

    Love the soft colors!

  66. holy cow – can’t wait until part deux!

  67. Everything is so beautiful. I hope someday to visit Lancaster. I believe today is the 7th anniversary of your blog isn’t it?? Congratulations!!

  68. Kathy Lahr says:

    Oh so beautiful ! Your early fall decorating is just gorgeous, calming & serene with just the right touch of drama with that dining table
    display.

  69. Mary Chris says:

    calm and soothing look. great job.

  70. Lanita Anderson says:

    Beautiful……so many great ideas and great pictures of your home! Thank you for sharing – looking forward to Part 2! Blessings to you…..

  71. Love your blog. I am a long time follower and enjoy your gorgeous photos. Always very inspiring!!! Thank you!

  72. Linda Charlton says:

    Once again I am overwhelmed by your dining table display. And I want some of those pale green pumpkins.

  73. Erin King says:

    We live in Ohio Amish Country and heartily agree…. it is one of the most beautiful places to experience Autumn. There is nothing like taking drives on rolling hills and seeing the pristine white houses and lawns, haystacks, and a backdrop of trees in glorious color!

    Your home is so beautiful and relaxing! It has inspired me… I am very stressed about this holiday season with too small children and a new baby due shortly after Christmas. Your photos are so peaceful and show what I am hoping to achieve this fall… beautiful simplicity.

  74. So lovely! I love the powdery blue and white them in the dining room, very unique. Those pillows! I think as a nod to your ‘bowling alley’ you need to buy an antique bowling pin for display in the corner by the coat closet!

  75. I love the beaded wreath pillows. So simple but definitely says fall.

  76. Ok i’ve been lying to myself when I left comments that your encouraging fall posts couldn’t get me to switch seasons until the equinox. I just luv all the autumnal jewel tones ( unlike you mt neutral loving friend ). Today, I gave in and put out 80% of the seasonal dodads. The rest will go up Sept 22nd. Thanks for the encouragrment.

  77. You did it again! The deep Fall colors just aren’t my favorite so I love your softer side of the season. I absolutely love the green and blue pumpkins! I painted some white last year, which I loved but now need to paint some in blue & green. I hope you will be posting a tutorial? Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!

  78. Bernadette says:

    Simple, elegant and beautiful!! Loved hearing about Lancaster. I grew up in New Jersey and loved the fall drives to Lancaster!!

  79. Dear Yvonne, You truly have a special touch! It all looks so gorgeous… your home glows with such a lovely light! Blessings, Judy

  80. Beautiful, I think I’ll come visit?

  81. Your home looks beautiful with the soft hues on the pumpkins. Still too early and hot here around Chicagoland to put out real pumpkins and mums, but my faux ones are coming out this weekend, I’ve noticed a lot of people like to decorate with real bittersweet. It is beautiful and I love it too but I’d like to warn those with pets. One year I put real bittersweet around the top of my cabinets in the kitchen. While taking it down a few berries fell to the floor and our dog, Dasiy of course ate them. She went into convulsions. And suffered renal damage. Bittersweet is in the nightshade family and very hallucinogenic. So all pet owners PLEASE be careful.

    1. Thank you Loryl- I had no idea about the canine dangers of bittersweet!

  82. So many beautiful photos- but I would have been satisfied with just one- the view from the dining room, across the foyer into your living room- stunning!

  83. Yvonne, I always loved your dinning table, but with it in pale fall decor, oh my goodness, so soft and lovely!
    I think I see a new lamp shade in that room also, darling!

    Warm fall blessings,
    Jacklyn

  84. MEDRA SOUTHERLAND says:

    Wow! so lovely. Did not expect this color scheme from you this year. Such a contrast from last year’s decor, which inspired my own decorating for fall last year in my home. Can’t wait to see the gradual evolution for fall into Thanksgiving.

  85. Just returned home from a local craft store with supplies to paint my little orange faux pumpkins white…per you wonderful tutorial!! So excited! Hope mine turn out half as pretty as your softer side of Autumn displays!

    Thanks for ALL your inspiration!!

  86. Caryn Kilgore says:

    Thank you for inspiring all of us with your fabulous fall décor! I love decorating for fall. You always have such creative ideas!

  87. Beautiful as always! LOVE that rug under your dining room table!!

  88. Simply stunning….beautifully calming ! I’ll say it again…YOU ARE THR BEST YVONNE !!!!!!!! ………Smiles………. Anne

  89. Tammy Durham says:

    Just beautiful!!! Love the deco on dinning table

  90. jane collins says:

    Beautiful. Love all the pillows. Everything glows! Happy Fall…..

  91. Yvonne, your home look fabulous! Love the softer side of decorating for fall. One of my favorites was the sweet pumpkin called the “porcelain doll”. Did you use chalk paint to get the softer orange color? I have a beach house, so these pale colors would look great in my home for fall. Look forward to part 2 of the fall tour.

  92. Though not ready to decorate for fall, this post was full of inspiration! Thanks for linking the dining room pillows—my Pier 1 Imports had only 2 in stock and one came home with me! ?

  93. Can’t wait to get started decorating for fall at my house. Especially love your pillows!

  94. Janice Stewart says:

    Love the softer shades of all your pumpkins. Going to try painting some following your steps. Really admire your fall pillows too!

  95. NANCY CARR says:

    The tablescape is exceptional. I love the soft colors and even the leaves you have tucked in as well as the little milk bottles. Also, thanks for the tutorial on painting pumpkins white. Blessings

  96. Oh how I love your decor! I especially like the white and very pastel pumpkins you are using here, for “early Fall” decorating. I also had not thought of such soft, light, pastels for pumpkins, but now I want to paint some myself ~ maybe try the lightest Aqua, Ochre, and Sage (for different areas, not together!)

    Thanks for the suggestion, Yvonne!

  97. LOVE LOVE LOVE you have such a great way of pulling together your design elements!

  98. As always we are all inspired by you. You definitely have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. My husband loves all the new things I have tried in decorating our home, including rommaging through boxes in the basement and using older items that were his mom’s. So much fun. Thank you so much Yvonne. God bless.

  99. Anne Marie says:

    Your home is beautiful – you are such an inspiration to your readers.

  100. Your home is so pretty. I love all the light colors for Fall

  101. Lisa Marutz says:

    Soft and beautiful…I’m taking notes ?

  102. Theresa Kleinschmidt says:

    Autumn blessings to you ,Yvonne,your house looks absolutely stunning.I especially like your tablescape with all the pumpkins.I tried replicating the look with my orange faux pumpkins this afternoon on our dining room table. Thanks for the inspiration.

  103. Love the white and green pumpkins. Surprised I didn’t see your free printable. Your home is so lovely. Thank you for your amazing ideas Have a blessed day!

  104. joan clanton says:

    love your style. would you please share the paint brands and colors you used? thank you!

  105. Those pillows are wonderful…. So enjoying your home tours…….

  106. Doesn’t matter which room in your house you are showing. it is all so pretty! I would love to visit Lancaster County in the autumn.

  107. Your home is beautiful! I especially love those pillows!

  108. lovely as always. thanks for the inspiration

  109. From my dear friend Pinky:Absolutely beautiful, my friend! Of course everything you do is fabulous! I am starting my fall decorating tomorrow…inside. Outside will wait about a week as you said, it is going back in the 90’s this week:( I am OVER the 90’s!!!!! Have a beautiful day, it sure is gorgeous out there!!! XOXO

  110. andrea bayot says:

    LOVE, LOVE the blue pumpkins! I think I will make some today for my home. Thanks for the inspiration!

  111. Drema Hupp says:

    Beautiful as always! What color paint is on walls?

  112. Yvonne Leal says:

    Oh Yvonne, everything is just so very lovely. I love all your white pumpkins and you are such an inspiration to me in all you do. Thank you for sharing.

  113. I’m going to start my Fall decorating this week. It’s a little hard to get in the “Fall” mood with the temperatures in the 90’s and heat index in the 100’s, here in Waco Tx. Love the white pumpkins!!

  114. Ooh I just love it. I was looking at the pumpkins in Michaels yesterday because I was inspired by your style. The prices were ridiculous. I was astonished – I thought, Really, Michaels . . .
    Anyway, can tell us or better, show us all how and where you stash your seasonal staging decor? I live in a house built in 1954 with no real storage space, except the attic. I have to be careful about storing things there as it gets so hot during summer. Thank You so much. Debra

    1. Hi Debra, I’ll show you how to stash seasonal decor at the end of the year.

  115. Marilyn Gillis says:

    Beyond beautiful and so elegant!!!

  116. anna mcfarland says:

    You continue to inspire!

  117. Yvonne,

    I think your dining room is beautiful. The colors, light and decor make it a soothing and elegant space. I love the statement centerpiece you did on the table this year. The faux pumpkins are beautiful (I love the blue!). Your home always looks so welcoming. Thanks to your blog last year, my sister and I went to Ken’s Nursery on a girls weekend trip to Lancaster and I finally found my white pumpkins (for some reason they are hard to find in the Pocono’s). The back of the car was loaded! I was one happy girl. Thank you for all the inspiration.

  118. Who knew Fall could be so white!!!

  119. About seven years, I sold most of my faux fall and Christmas decorations and went natural. Our small town boasts an Amish market, several farms that sell produce year round, and two farmers’ markets, so natural is in abundant supply. What I don’t buy, I scavenge the back yard for: oak leaves, acorns, Sweet Gum balls, pine cones, Magnolia clippings, and more. Your home is very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

  120. Linda of CA says:

    WoW !!! Thank You for the TOUR… beautiful !!

  121. Julie Maier says:

    I was born in Coatesville, but we moved when I was 5 months old and have not been back. I have a good friend Suzanne Woods Fisher who writes books about the Amish and has visited there often. Someday I hope to visit and for sure it will be in the fall.

  123. Kathie from IL says:

    I was born in Coatesville but moved when I was 5 months and have not been back. I would love to visit someday and for sure it will be in the fall.

  127. I just love your home and décor! I especially love seeing items that you use over and over but in different ways. You have given me such inspiration so many times. Thank you for the tour.

  128. Teresa Ogg says:

    Absolutely gorgeous. It’s formal but not too formal…very inviting.

  129. Love your pumpkins and pillows. You always do it up right!

  130. The white, green, and blue pumpkins are beautiful. They make such a softer statement.

  131. It’s still hot here in NC, but I decorated our mantel with bittersweet (faux), & some wonderful cream (faux) pumpkins w/ some favorite things I’ve kept for years. I feel cooler already!
    LOVE all your decorating ideas & descriptions of how & why you do what you do beautifully!!

  132. Just gorgeous! Just wondering what your wall paint color is in your dining and living room. Thanks!

  133. Karen Webster says:

    Your fall vingenetts are just beautiful Yvonne! I love the white pumpkins and accents in your living and dining room as well as your entry. So creative and inspiring. Thank you!

  134. Anna Starner says:

    I am waiting for a few pumpkins here in Lebanon County I haven’t seen any here yet. Just a tad early to put my mums out, evven though they are eerywhere. I will start my fall decorating next week. I am loving your dining room table. I love the soft colors you have chsen to use this year.

  135. Love everything you do! Beautiful and so inspiring.

  136. Laurie Orlando says:

    Love all the pumpkins! How do you keep your wood floors so shiny??

  137. Beautiful as always. Love the blue pumpkins to match the pillow.

  138. Hearing you describe Lancaster County during this time of year, I miss my home state of Ohio and the wonderful beginnings of fall. You just don’t get that out here in Southern California. I love your softer side of fall decor and am inspired to dress my house for fall with a non-traditional. Color scheme that still exudes the flavor of my favorite season. You have created beautiful and inviting home with this color scheme. Love your blog – the best out there!

  139. Beautiful. I love the softer side. My decorating style is French Country. So many of these ideas will work for me. Thank you.

  140. As always you lead us into a new season with eye-popping inspiration.

    Love what you’ve shown us so far and look forward to lots more!

    Thanks for the eye candy – I LOVE your softer side of autumn!!

  141. I like your idea of painting the pumpkins that are on your table. Great job : ) Your whole house looks so beautiful. I remember when you blogged about learning to love your house that you (we) have. I can remember whet there wasn’t money in our budget to do what I wanted. But I still loved looking at the beautiful pictures of homes all dressed up. So thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

  142. You diningroom table display is just so elegant, serene, and beautiful! Love the beaded wreaths!

  143. Swooning over your rooms filled with beautiful pumpkins…..Went to the Farmer’s market and no pumpkins yet….Glad you came across an Amish stand…such a beautiful place to be in during the Fall and any season for that matter!….Loving your softer side of Fall…

  144. Everything is beautiful. I especially like the white buffet.

  145. Grace Lawson says:

    Yvonne, your home is so beautiful and has been a big source of inspiration for me as we are a building a new home and I have picked neutral colors with pops of blue and gray. This post has inspired me to pull my faux orange pumpkins out of the closet and give them a new look with my future home colors. I will be so ready for next fall. Just love everything you post.

    1. Sharing inspiration is music to my ears! Thanks so much for letting me know, Grace!

  146. Sheila Monroe says:

    I love your blog it is in the first place for blogs. I love what you did for fall I’m trying to pair down but it’s very hard to do. Can I ask where you got the white lantern. Love your home thanks sharing your beautiful.
    Sheila

  147. Stunning! I can just see the bittersweet added in – it will look great with what you have. Love your pumpkins!

  148. Couldn’t agree with your more! Our area definitely knows how to do fall up right. But I could not find any real pumpkins last week, so you are so lucky to have scored all of those beauties! I’ll have to make a trip to the Pumpkin Wagon this year! Your home and styling is gorgeous as always.

  149. Mary Pickett says:

    Gosh. I just love it all.

  150. Absolutely stunning fall decorating. I especially love the blue ones which you pair with the neutral colored ones so well. Happy Fall!

  151. Sue Holte says:

    Yvonne, I love the tones you use! Your home is just beautiful.

  152. Maureen Stumpo says:

    Love your Fall decor! Agree with you that Lancaster County does the seasons so well… will have to look for the Pumpkin Wagon. Thanks for the tip 🙂

    Maureen

  153. Everything looks absolutely gorgeous as always Yvonne!! Soft and lovely. I love getting to be apart of the tour with you!

  154. Yvonne, all I can say is Wow, Wow, Wow!! Your home is absolutely lovely and inspiring. I plan a kitchen Reno soon and you give me dreamy things to think about! I live in Texas and our neutrals tend to be more warm …. but Goals! This is so beautiful and peaceful. Love everything! Enjoy! XXO Lauran

  155. GwenCondit says:

    Hi. I’m enjoying your home tour so much. Many ideas!! My absolute favorite is how your pumpkin display simply looks stunning and enhances the look of your “new” formal table top switch. How daring yet how awesome it looks. I like the mirror above the chest. Your entry under the stairs looks streamlined. Very nicely done!!

  156. Everything you’ve done is wonderful, but that tablescape is absolutely amazing!

  157. Susan Jackson says:

    As always, your home is absolutely beautiful Yvonne! Do you plan your spring planting thinking about what you’ll want for floral decor later in the year? You always seem to have just the perfect flowers for each season. Guess you could call this my “ah-ha” moment!

  158. Debbie Klausing says:

    Beautiful home! Love those bubble chairs! The wreath pillows are fun!

  159. Tamara Shaw says:

    I just found your blog and am in love with your style! Looking forward to the rest of your fall reveal.

    1. Hi Tamara, Welcome to the StoneGable family! We are so happy you found us!

  160. Mikaela Clark says:

    Elegant and cozy!

  161. Linda James says:

    Yvonne, This may be one of the more beautiful post you have done. I could look at this all day.
    Was in Lancaster last week end and picked up a few pumpkins at a stand. No where as beautiful as
    yours, here. I love the blue. Thanks for giving me such inspiration!!! Love it!!

  162. Carol Bisson says:

    I am a new subscriber to your blog and love your fall decor style. I love the white pumpkins.

  163. Sabrina Lawrence says:

    Absolutely beautiful!

  164. Your dining room table made me smile. i may have to mimic this look on my own table. 🙂

  165. You never disappoint!
    2 questions, if you could email me—color of your wood floors (are they floating?) and the color up above the table in the tray type ceiling—is it a gold? Which company?
    Thank you!

  166. I love Lancaster County! When my husband and I were newly married, he was in the US Navy and was stationed at Bainbridge in Maryland. We spent many weekends driving through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. That was 1975 and I still enjoy revisiting those memories!

    Your house is so beautiful!

  167. You are so right about Lancaster County in the fall. Several years ago,, before my husband retired, he worked in New York. We spent 17 weeks on Staton Island in a motel room, so every weekend he didn’t have to work, we hit the road and headed for Lancaster County. It was so beautiful. I grew up in Michigan and always thought fall was so beautiful there, but the trees in the East are even more brilliant. I had been told that, but didn’t think it was so, until I saw it for myself.

    You have a lovely home. Thank you for sharing it with us.

  168. I really like how you changed the color of the pumpkins to suit your softer style. Beautiful!

  169. This is my first visit to your blog….but it won’t be my last. Such a lovely home—I like your style. Can hardly wait to see Part 2. Thanks for sharing.

  170. My two favorite home decor color combinations are black and white, and French blue and white. I love the way you used neutrals in your decor…so elegant. I never thought to paint real pumpkins, though I have decoupaged plastic pimpkins with sheet music, book pages, dictionary plages, newsprint with good results. The beaded wreath pillows are too pretty to store away. I would definitely bring them out whenever I used fall colored flowers as a centerpiece on the dining table and/or buffet, or similar complimentary table setting colors.

  171. Simply elegant. Your home is amazing. I love it all.

  172. phyllis scott says:

    Beautiful home and I love your style. A cup of coffee and I can sit all day thanks for the tour.

  173. Marilyn Gillis says:

    Never read one of your posts, without pulling out at least one idea that I can use in my own home! Keep up the great work!!

  174. Always inspirational – encouraging – blessing! Thank you! Would appreciate source for white pottery crocks.

  175. Love the idea of adding a slipcover to a bench.

    I also like to lamps on you mantel. Are they plugged in? If so how?

    Your home makes me want to complete redecorate my home!
    Thanks Kathy

    1. Hi Kathy! Our mantel lamps do light. We built in a socket on the mantel. There are so many tricky things people can do now to add lamps to their mantel!

  176. I absolutely love the fall table scape. I just painted the pumpkins with the milk paint and they look fabulous! Thanks, for the idea

  177. Catherine says:

    Nice job this year. Every year you do something different….I would love to peak at your props closet!

    I always enjoy seeing your beautiful home. It truly feels like home. I do love neutral colors for fall and the blue painted pumpkins are gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to decorate either with blue or pink as I so love the pink shades as well.
