Happy first Tuesday of fall! Today, I am partnering with some of my amazing blogging pals to bring you our fall home tours. A big thanks to my friend, Kelly at The Tattered Pew, for hosting the Blogger’s Best Fall Home Tour.
I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things that fall has to offer.
A Cottage Welcome
Before we get started, if you’re new here, my name is Kim and let me say I am THRILLED to have you in my home! Welcome!
Being from the Mitten, I’m blessed to enjoy all the wonderful seasons. Although spring and summer are great, we are heading into my favorite two seasons. Fall and winter! I love all the beauty that fall has to offer and all the magic of snow-covered landscapes, that winter ushers in. Call me crazy, but yes, I do love winter!
A Cozy Fall Table
Who doesn’t love going to someone’s home for dinner and seeing a pretty table?
I think it makes people feel like you went the extra mile for them.
Don’t you?
Have you noticed all the orange and teal that has been circulating this season? I love it so much, that I decided to use it inside my home this fall.
Finding a table runner with the same vibrant colors was a bonus for me and those stripe table napkins…they are a staple in my table decor stash!
Then, guess what I found while window shopping at Marshall’s? Some beautiful dishes with the exact colors! Already having a set of cream dishes from The Pioneer Woman’s collection, I used both to set my table.
I love mixing patterns and colors!
If you saw my post last week on An Easy Way to Transform old Candlesticks, now you can see where I actually used them. They were ideal for this table setting!
Adding some pine cones, I acquired on my last trip up north, pretty faux branches, and some tiny pumpkins, were the perfect additions.
I’m so please with how it came out!
I hope my guests will be too!

Cozy Corner by the Door
My home doesn’t have a formal foyer. The first floor is one large room, so I have to be creative with the space I have.
I have a small cabinet positioned beside the front door, topped with a large mirror. Maintaining a consistent color palette is crucial for creating a cohesive look in this shared space.
Do you have Golden Rod that grows wild in the area where you live? If not, I’m sorry. It’s fun and yellow and FREE! I went to the field near my home and cut some, using it in my teal vase. I added a few pumpkins and presto!
That little cabinet and cozy corner is all ready for fall.

Mums and More: Creating a Fall Porch Oasis
Transforming my porch for fall is one of my favorite seasonal traditions. Every year, I love the challenge of creating a fresh and inviting space. From vibrant mums to cozy pumpkins, I’m always excited to see my porch evolve with the changing leaves.
This fall, I used some wreaths that I’ve used in seasons past. They still look good and I love the vibrant colors.
I always start my porch decorating by shopping for my mums. If you have been visiting here for a while, you know I love color. So I am betting it will be no surprise, that I always buy at least three different colors of mums. This year, I bought yellow, orange, AND purple.
I threw in one muti-colored one too!
Pumpkin Perfection: Fall Porch Favorites
I also love using pumpkins with a little character. In my opinion, they don’t always have to be orange. I actually hit the jackpot at my local grocery store, this year.
Imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon a galvanized bucket while thrifting! I’d been searching for one for weeks. As soon as I got it home, I knew a pumpkin would be the perfect topper. It was such an easy yet effective way to decorate it.
What do you think?
I also snagged a crate when purchasing tomatoes to freeze. It was the perfect home for my multi-colored mum.
The Final Touches
Cornstalks were the perfect finishing touch for my fall porch. I love the rustic charm they add, especially when they still have corn on them…however, so do the neighborhood squirrels! Believe it or not, my neighbor told me he saw a squirrel run off with a cob, right before I got my pictures.
Seriously…the nerve!
Here’s my fall porch in all her glory!
Oh, one more thing…you see that sweet little face? That’s my precious grandbaby! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that every Tuesday, all summer long, she took time to smell the flowers. Now that summer is over, she’s still smelling those beautiful flowers.
Bless her heart!
I hope she always remembers to take time to smell the flowers.
Cozy Michigan Fall Home Tour
I hope this tour has inspired you to embrace the season and create your own haven full of fall comfort. Whether you prefer bold colors or subtle touches, there are endless ways to celebrate fall indoors and out.
Happy fall!
Your home looks beautiful decorated for fall. Do you have any color in your area or is it still a bit too early?
Thank you, Paula! I went for a walk this morning and there was some color!
You look so adorable, Kim and I love your home all decorated for the season. The colors you used on your porch are just stunning! Happy to be touring with you this week. Pinned!
That is so kind of you, Jen! Thank you! So good to be touring with you, too!!

The colours you have used in your home are so beautiful Kim. That wreath is gorgeous and I love your fall tablescape!
Thanks so much, Shawna! I am so happy with the way the table came out. The touch of teal makes me happy!
Everything looks amazing! I love your Fall touches! My favorite pic though is the first one, the one of you, my beautiful friend!!
Well, that is so kindest! You made my day, Kristin! 💛
Ooh, I am crushing on all of your colorful mums! I agree about different colored, imperfect pumpkins–they’re my preference. I also had to laugh at your nervy squirrel story. The are incorrigible when it comes to garden mischief! It’s a pleasure to tour with you this week. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Haha, yes! Now that my pictures are done, the squirrels can take all the corn they want! So nice to tour with you, too! Happiest Tuesday to you!
Your home looks wonderful. Here in NZ, winter is not my favourite season but I understand why you would think that, having lived in Canada where winter is a wonderland. Here, it’s just cold and wet, nothing to celebrate at all. I’m enjoying the spring weather and the warm and lack of rain.
Thanks, Carol! We do get a lot of snow and so it definitely makes for a winter wonderland. I hope you are having a wonderful spring in NZ!
All those beautiful colors of mums are just amazing and your porch could not be any more perfect to welcome fall. Pretty cute grand little too!
Thanks so much, Michelle! I think my grand is pretty cute, too! 😉
Kim I loved your tour my friend! I also loved seeing you greeting us at your front door. It feels like we were just hanging out at Haven!

Kim!!! I loved your tour!! We have golden rod growing Luke crazy around here too, but I went to the grocery yesterday and they had some good sale in the floral area haha Silly grocery store!! Also, loved seeing your precious gbaby!! Taking time to smell the flowers is such an important thing we can learn for our little people! So glad I got to hop with you!!
Thank you so much, Aliya! We do learn so much from our babes! Happy fall and great hopping with you!

Thank you, Cindy! I wanted to buy some flowering kale and neglected to. It is so pretty.
I picked up one of those purple/rust combo mums, too, and I think it’s my favorite! So glad you found a galvanized bucket; you will enjoy it! Your entry looks wonderful; so bright and pretty. Yes, Fall in the north is beautiful!
Those combo mums are so beautiful! I appreciate your kindness! Happy fall to you!

Hi Kim!

Your mums are just so beautiful. And your porch is the epitome of Fall – love it!
That’s so kind of you! Thanks, Ana!
Beautiful my friend! Your mum colors are so gorgeous! And I love your table runner, perfect for fall. I found the pumpkin and leaf-patterned dishes last year and can’t wait to use them for a tablescape. I tucked them away somewhere and you have inspired me to look for them. Great job Kim, everything is so warm and cozy.
Thanks so much, Kim! Those dishes were a great find. Hope you find yours! Happy fall, friend!
Kim, a great tour of your home welcoming fall was a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, Linda! Happy fall!
