Welcome to our Home Sweet Home! Fall is in the air and I am so excited to be joining the fall “It’s a Colorful Life” home tour today. This tour is always a bright spot each season and I love seeing everyone’s colorful homes. A big thanks to Jennifer and Jewel for putting it together!

If you are new here- WELCOME! WELCOME! I’m Heather, the crazy-crafting-iced-coffee-drinking-mom behind the blog. My husband and I live in Atlanta with our two boys – ages 5 and 8. I have been blogging for around six years, ever since I was fortunate to stay home with my youngest.
This blog brings me so much joy and I am so glad you are joining me today to have a look around! One way to catch up with me is to read my Front Porch Coffee Talks where I share what’s on my mind like friends chatting over coffee.
I always love sharing our home with you with hopes that you feel inspired and have a fun few minutes to relax and escape. So with that, let’s take a fall stroll through our home sweet home starting with the front porch.
SNAPSHOTS OF FALL: THE FRONT PORCH
First stop is always the Front Porch around here. As I mentioned I do a weekly Front Porch Coffee Talk series where I share tidbits of life and whatever is on my mind as if we were two friends sitting on the porch. And it’s where you can find me most mornings. Few seasons or holidays go by without the porch getting a little tweaking and this fall is no different! I used “pumpkin spice” to inspire this space

For the planters, I grabbed some Black Eyed Susan’s and purplish red coleus and an orange mum. I love the mix of rich colors and you may even notice that I placed fun wire pumpkins among the plants. Love that little detail.
SNAPSHOTS OF FALL: THE FAMILY ROOM
Next stop is the family room! This space got a quick update with antlers and sunflowers…and lots of pumpkins in the built in bookshelves.

Can you spot the other DIY Designer Inspired project in this room? You can see how I made this DIY Hob Knob Lamp here. Spoiler alert- I made mine for under $20!
SNAPSHOTS OF SUMMER: KITCHEN
Next stop is the kitchen. I kept the counters super simple and just did a few Ginger Jars with Trader Joe’s Sunflowers. Since our home is an open concept- I try to keep the kitchen very minimal on clutter and decor.

The handwritten recipes that I added above the stove are still there and I still love them!

This and many more free printables are available to Southern State of Mind subscribers.

Such a classy elegant fall home tour, Heather! I loved all the earthy tones!! That feather pumpkin is just beyond.
Beautiful fall decor. I love the sunflowers with all the blue and white and your back porch was so fun. I also love the idea of special family recipes printed in the kitchen.
Heather, I always enjoy seeing all of the layers and textures in your home! You’ve made it such a warm, inviting place! Thanks so much for touring with us this week!
Heather, lovely tour! I particularly adore the orange, navy, and dark woods combo, so cozy! Happy Fall!
Beautiful tour, Heather! I love that cotton wreath on your front door and all the pretty Chinoiserie details sprinkled throughout your rooms
Of course I’m always crazy for blue and white! I love the sunflowers in the Ginger Jars! How absolutely screaming autumn! Great outdoor area, I know you must just use that space an awful lot!
I almost missed your home in the tour. I am glad I caught it in the recap. I am inspired by your straightforward style.
