Welcome to my Fall Home Tour. I’m so excited to share all the budget-friendly decor ideas and how I’ve used them to decorate my farmhouse for fall. Creative DIY and craft projects, in addition to vintage and thrift store finds fill the home with a unique, eclectic, industrial farmhouse style.
I hope these ideas will inspire you to think outside the box when decorating this year.
My tour is part of the Bloggers’ Best Fall Home Tour 2022, hosted by my friend Kelly from The Tattered Pew. You will see links at the end of this post to tour all the beautiful homes.
If you are joining me from Tammy at White Lilac Farmhouse, I’m glad you stopped by. Didn’t you just love Tammy’s beautiful farmhouse?

Welcome To My Fall Home Tour
We will start today’s tour in the entry area, although you can see the whole house as you enter the front doors.
When planning the farmhouse, we decided on a modern, industrial style with all neutral colors.
Therefore, you will see many textures within the home.

Farmhouse Entry Home Tour
As you enter the home, you are immediately in the living area. This vaulted space includes an entry table and my work station.
The vintage gas station light illuminates the old ceiling tiles above the doorway.
The entry rug provides ample space for guests to enter.

Entry Table
The entry table and surrounding area are filled with budget-friendly DIY Projects that help to create a unique fall decorating style.
The deconstructed chair was a project from a few years ago. I still want to tackle another chair but haven’t gotten over the real truth lessons I learned during this project.
The thrift store lamp project is still one of my favorites. The lamp looks just like my inspiration photo for a fraction of the cost.
In addition to these projects, I’ve added two craft ideas to the entry table.
First, the sweet gum ball stems are made with foraged supplies for Free.
Also, a favorite Fall DIY is the Corn Stalks Topiaries which are foraged and almost free for fall decor.

The bedroom barn door is a perfect place to display another recent project, the DIY Preserved Magnolia Wreath.

Office Desk
On the other side of the door is where I write my blog.
The desk is a repurposed dining table with many vintage office supplies like the vintage typewriter and rotary phone.
The desk chair is also an antique find with an updated chair cushion.

Loft
You can view the industrial loft area from anywhere in the entry and living room.
We spend most of our evenings in the loft because it’s our home’s entertainment area.
Last year I shared this tour of the loft decorated for fall.

Living Area Fall Home Tour
During the daytime, this is work central. That is unless I’m in the greenhouse or my shop.
Although my desk is adjacent to the living room, I spend much of my work time on the sofa and side chairs.

The living room is also filled with budget-friendly projects and fall DIY crafts that give the room a cozy feel.
The side table is my #1 Industrial transformation, and the stationary box on top is a trash to treasure transformation of an old silverware box.
In case you missed it, the decorative pillow is a scrap fabric craft project from last year.

Coffee Table Centerpiece
One of the focal points of the living area is the large repurposed coffee table that we found while the farmhouse was under construction.
For this fall, I wanted a centerpiece made using natural elements, so here’s what I did.

I began with a bed of corn stalks and husks.

Then I added a shed leaves bush and a shed leaves candle ring to add some color. The main focus is the three natural gourdes nestled into the florals.

Additionally, some dried okra pods, dried wheat, and faux berries completed the centerpiece for fall.
A couple of burnt orange pom pom pillow covers add a fun punch of color on the swivel side chairs.

The pedestal table holds more fall decor, including a glass cloche filled with napkin decoupaged dollar tree pumpkins. This inexpensive decor technique is a great way to update decor for any season.

Farmhouse Kitchen Home Tour
Next, let’s move into the farmhouse kitchen. Here you will see the play on textures that help to keep a neutral home from looking blah.
The brick backsplash is a welcome break from the white shiplap walls. Although the brick is neutral in color, there is enough contrast to draw attention to the wall.

DIY Kitchen Island
The DIY kitchen island adds a pop of color since it was repainted last summer. The muted green color was a mix of several shades to compliment the original chippy paint on the repurposed pantry door.

The 6 x 7-foot island is filled with vintage amber bottles for a fall vignette in the center. This also allows plenty of workspaces to remain around the ends of the island.

The vintage toolbox was one of my first purchases after building the farmhouse. It has occupied a spot on the island ever since. However, it is always filled with new and interesting thrifted finds.

The pantry door is a repurposed screened door, but instead of a screen, it now has a chalkboard and magnet board.
Its angled position is a focal point of the entire kitchen.

Storing collectibles on open shelves is one great way to add vintage charm to a modern kitchen.

Concrete countertops and an apron front farmhouse sink also add to the authentic farmhouse charm.

Dining Area Tour
Next on the home tour is the dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen, it’s a convenient spot to store copper pots and dishes.
The DIY plate rack is filled with vintage breadboards, french copper, rolling pins and more.

Dining Table Centerpiece
Y’all know that I love setting a seasonal tablescape. However, the centerpiece vignette is my second favorite to create when I’m not adding dishes.
Here I’ve combined a vintage French cheese board with crocks, pumpkins, heirloom salt & pepper shakers, and fall florals to warm up the table for fall.

The rustic chippy church pew has traveled with me from house to house and I always find a spot for it.
A more recent find is the folding bench, a $10.00 thrift store find.
The entire dining area is filled with thrifted finds that are budget-friendly options for decorating your home. You can see more tips for decorating with cheap vintage and thrifted finds here.

Guest Bedroom Tour
Finally, I wanted to share a brief tour of the guest bedroom.
This room has been updated for fall with a vintage quilt that was a recent yard sale find for only $5.00.
The lovely colors in the quilt sparked a couple fall DIY projects.

First, I wanted a throw pillow to add to the bedding and decided a Scrap Fabric Pumpkin Pillow was just the ticket.

Finally, the DIY Dollar Store Leaf Wreath I shared earlier was the icing on the cake. The room is now inviting and warm with pink, brown, and burgundy touches.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the farmhouse home tour today and that you got some tips for budget-friendly ways to decorate your home for fall or any season.
