Welcome to my Fall Home Tour! It’s reveal day today, and after working tirelessly for the past month or so to get it all done, I’m so happy that today is finally here. I can tell you, it’s a lot of work pulling together a tour showcasing so many rooms at once! But all worth the effort, since we get to bring you fresh decorating ideas and endless inspiration with blog tours like these. If you’re coming over from my dear friend, Erin’s blog, The Sunny Side Up, welcome to CitrineLiving! I’m thrilled you’re here and I hope you love it! Isn’t Erin’s home such a dream? She has been inspiring me for a few years now and I can honestly tell you, she is the sweetest person too. I’m so excited that I’ll have the chance to see her in person again next week, in New York City, along with most of my closest best blogging girlfriends that are on this tour with me today – everyone on the tour is listed at the bottom of my post, so please don’t forget to hop over to each of them and pay them a visit for tons of decorating ideas this Fall. I hope you enjoy my tour today, where you’ll notice almost immediately, that in lieu of using pumpkins and gourds (except for my wreath and a few in the kitchen), I’ve chosen to keep our home’s Fall look simple and sophisticated with rich colors, and warm metals.
*A very big thank you to Lux Decor, Tonic Living and Boutique Rugs for providing some of our newest items in our home – I’m very grateful! While I have received these items in exchange for writing this post, everything was chosen by me, and all opinions are my own! *Affiliate links are provided throughout, or at the bottom of this post for your shopping convenience. I make a small commission (at no extra cost to you) when you purchase through my links, please see my full disclosure policy here.
If you saw my front porch reveal last week, then you’re familiar with this Fall setup. I kept it simple, only using some seasonal flowers and plants, along with a new wreath for the front door. You can visit my front porch tour here for some more decorating ideas – I think you’ll love it!
THE ENTRYWAY
Please come on inside today, and I’ll walk you through the main living area in our home – our entryway, dining room, living room, and kitchen.
Starting at the entryway, you can see that our open concept home allows for visibility and flow from one space to the next. The dining room is immediately on the left of the foyer, and you’ll also notice right away there’s a couple of new things in here… We’ll come back to that a little further down :)

THE DINING ROOM
I also recently shared my first tablescape of the season, using only faux foliage and warm metallics. That was a couple of weeks ago, and our dining room table is still set up exactly the same way. That’s the beauty of faux – long lasting and no mess to clean up! Click here to see this table in more detail.
I layered in some gorgeous leopard into our dining room, as well as throughout our home this Fall. I just love it. It adds warmth, instant glam and a fashion forward sensibility that I love. I’ve had some old pillows sitting in our basement forever, and I paired them with these fabulous new leopard print Bianca pillows, from Tonic Living, which you can find here. I love how perfect they go anywhere I put them. As they say, leopard is a neutral!
Not quite Chinese Chippendales, but a very close second, and I just adore them. They bring a completely different look and feel to our dining room than the brown oval back chairs. Which, by the way, I still love, and have no intention of getting rid of just yet…
What do you think of my new chairs? I love that they also play off of the pattern in the rug and bring in added texture. Next item on the list in this room is a new dining room table or painting our existing one a light cream or taupe color. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to have that by Christmas :)

THE LIVING ROOM
You’ll notice some big changes in our living room as well, which have really brought in a new feeling that we love! A GORGEOUS new rug from Boutique Rugs was a happy accident in this room. I ordered this beautifully detailed Harput rug for our bedroom, and being in the usual rush that I’m in, I measured wrong…too big for our bedroom, but perfect for our living room! It opens the entire space up and I think was truly meant to be! It’s a perfect fit. We ALL love it, hubby, kids and bunny included ;)
Speaking of blue and white, I opted for only that, when styling these bookshelves this season. We built these shelves last year and this is the first time they’ve been dressed with only my blue and white collection. You can read all about my latest pieces that I’ve added here – and it just keeps growing! Have a look at last year’s Fall home tour here, to see our living room – a lot has changed!
Finally, let’s talk about our new lamps. Again, a lucky find, and after hunting for what seems like forever, these brass and navy babies literally jumped off the shelves and into my arms when I walked past them at HomeSense.
Did you spot Oscar our bunny? He likes navy and gold idea too by the way ;)

THE KITCHEN
Our kitchen is the one room that I usually keep very simple, and I often have the same thing happening for most of the year. Except a few seasonal touches, I keep it relatively simple.
I usually keep my chinoiserie pieces in here as well, throughout most of the year.
I like the idea of combining that somewhat rustic feeling with my more traditional elements in our kitchen. Something about it is comforting to me. We have a casually elegant and relaxed look and feel to our kitchen, and adding those layers emphasizes that feeling.
I love the little touches of warm tones throughout our home this season. I’ve intentionally threaded it through each room for a cohesive palette. Living in a completely open concept home can be tricky when it comes to seasonal decor, and this is a simple way to achieve continuity.

Would you mind telling me where you got them? I too love all things black, gold, blue, white, with a pop of red? AND, you’re right, leopard is a neutral!. Loved everything!

Thank you so much :)
