Yay!  2020 Fall Home Tour day! I appreciate you taking the time to stop in and check out the new changes since last Summer.  This time of year I look forward to the nearly perfect temps and changing leaves here in Northern Virginia.  While I generally don’t go crazy with Fall or halloween decor, I have added a few touches here and there.

This week I received a box with two beautiful new Revival Rugs, and I had fun this weekend incorporating them into a couple of our rooms.

Dining Room

Some of you may remember that we use to have a black and white geometric rug in both this room and the living room.  While pretty in pictures, these rugs proved impossible to keep clean.  Saturday we made the swap out to a gorgeous Jute Hart Rug from Revival Rugs.  This beauty if ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC!  With a low profile and pretty textural detail I think it feels more sophisticated and effortless than my last (high maintenance) rug.

The Hart rug isn’t shedding like some natural fiber rugs do.  Yay!  It also has a low profile, should be soil resistant, and would be perfect for layering.  Though, at the moment, I am enjoying the clean simplicity of this natural fiber against my busy wallpaper.

I am loving this new, textural look.

Next up on the 2020 Fall Home tour is our teenage hang-out area.  We also added a new Revival rug in here as well.  Usually I buy things for my home because I know exactly where I want to put them.  In this case, however, I loved the vintage rug and knew I’d find a place.

I LOVE Revival Rugs because they are the ONLY online, direct-to-consumer vintage rug shop, and their team hand picks beautiful collections in a variety of sizes and styles without the markup.   I only receive mailing list notifications from two companies, and this is one.  I like the early access notifications to new collections this way.

I have dubbed this new addition my “Candy Corn Rug”.  Can you see why?  LOL. 

Moving the 2020 Fall Home Tour to outside, I want to show you what we accomplished last month.  The deck area was my major effort for this summer and it feels so good to be done.

Loving the lamp in this corner and the warm Fall light.

We are still so happy with the kitchen changes last fall.  I have documented what feels like the one clean kitchen day since online schooling began. LOL.

Last week I wrapped up these Roman Shades in this room.  Though a little time consuming, it wasn’t rocket science (thankfully).  I have the tutorial here if you need it.

I added punches of mustard to this area and I like the addition.

Living room sources

At least for now, I brought this table and mirror combo from the blue living room into the entryway.  The verdict is still out, but it is fun to mix things up.

We are about to bring up the winter coats to this hall closet .

Though this is “my husband’s office” it has been taken over by one of my four kids for online schooling.

Our little half bathroom continues to bring me joy.

We completed this space last summer as part of the Bathroom Primp and Pamper blog hop.

I have added a wool blanket and faux leopard pillows to bring in a feeling of Fall in the bedroom.  I have a complete list of sources and a DIY headboard tutorial.

This recent bathroom makeover definelty fits the theme of the “colorful home” blog hop.  It was the major effort of our quarentine days, and I love the uniqueness of this small space.

This bedroom might be on the docket for a Spring 2021 makeover.  We have been brainstorming and begining to plan.

The DIY headboard was completed in one weekend, and it adds so much personality to the space.

While the I DIY’ed the striped walls AND the desk were fun, it might be time for something new.

These mustard curtains bring in a touch of Fall.

BTW- If you need it, here is a  complete upholstered bunk bed tutorial.  I think there is one step in there that would really surprise you.

Also, HERE is the complete source list for this space!

I can see the new Candy Corn Rug moving into this room someday.
