Happy Labor Day! It also happens to mark the start of fall home tour day/week! As you likely know, home tours are pretty much my favorite thing of all time and I anxiously await the arrival of these days throughout the year.
If you’re stopping in from A Stroll Thru Life, welcome! Marty is the talent and the brains behind this fall home tour, and if you had the opportunity to visit our summer home tours, you know this is an amazing round-up of blogger home tours. Marty’s home looks so beautiful for fall and I am loving her mix of throw pillows and throws! At the end of the post, you find links to all 30 fall home tours that will be occurring throughout the week and I assure you, you don’t want to miss any of them!
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Sarah with Life On Virginia Street and my husband and I moved into our current home almost three years ago. After three years of DIY and home decor projects, it’s starting to really feel like “ours” and we love it more with each passing day!
Typically, my decor tends to be fairly neutral with additions of blue and green throughout. This year for fall, I decided to take things a bit warmer with deep navy, plums, and wine colors to warm our home up for the cooler months that are forthcoming. I tend to not be too theme-y in my seasonal decor (with the exception of Christmas), but rather try to change up the layers and the textures to fit the season. I’ve tried to source things along the way, so pull up a chair and enjoy our tour!

I’m a huge fan of cozy throws, especially in the cooler months. I recently rounded up a great selection of fall throws under $30, many of which would look perfect in our space right now! I also love that they can brighten up dark leather furniture, as I did in our living room.
As you can see in our living room, I continued the same colors that we saw in the entryway.
Lamps | Thanks and Giving Print | Gold Orb | Herringbone Throws (similar) | HomeGoods Vases |Â Navy & White Riad Pillow | Floral Pillow | Navy Velvet Pillow | Navy Betwixt Pillow
In the dining room I added some layers to warm the space up for fall. By bringing in some textured throws and pillows, the space feels warmer than it did when I did the dining room reveal a few weeks back with more of a summer vibe.
Chandelier | Art | Rug | Wood Tray | Drapes | Dining Room Set | Navy Cable Knit Throws | Mirror
I also wanted to share a little sneak peak of a recent room refresh I just did in one of our guest bedrooms. You can see the prior look in this post. There are still quite a few changes that will be taking place here between now and Thursday (when I share the reveal), and it will likely include completely different pillows (I haven’t finished sewing them yet), but for now I’m loving the fresh new look. The headboard is definitely the star of the show!

In our unfinished mudroom, the primer is still doing a great job of pretending to be paint so in photos I can make it appear much more presentable. I recently added a DIY Gold Stick Art project to add a touch of fall to the space.

Lastly, one of my favorite spaces in our home – which is actually outside – is our courtyard. It is wrapped by my office, the long entryway hallway and our dining room and it is the perfect space for conversation with friends while roasting marshmallows around the firepit! I didn’t get a chance to shoot any new photos of the space but wanted to include an older image because we use this space so much in the fall!

Everything is so beautiful. I love the addition of the plum colors, so pretty with your navy.
Each and every touch is lovely but the grouping in the dining room completely captivated me!
I like your pillow selection for your entryway bench!! Navy and pink are always a good choice

Sarah you home is just gorgeous! I love the use of plums and wine colors for the fall. All your vignettes are so pretty too.
Happy Labor Day!

Gorgeous friend! I love the non traditional colors and all the beautiful prints and textures, so cozy and beautiful!
So beautiful! I love the colors that you used – such a pretty combination. And I hadn’t seen your newly redone guest room – love it!
I absolutely adore the courtyard! It is such a perfect spot outdoors the way it is nestled between your office and dining room. I also really like the idea of swapping out the pillow covers seasonally – never thought of that! You have a lovely home and a exquisite taste in home decor. Thank you for sharing it with your readers! 🙂
Everything is GORGEOUS Sarah! I can’t even pick a favorite spot! I really need to see this stunner in person 🙂
Your home is beautiful and I love all the Fall touches!
xx,
Sherry
You always do such a beautiful job Sarah! I love your new pillow combos, and that round mirror in your dining room is absolutely gorgeous in there!
Very pretty! I like how you added the throws on the dining chairs, and all the different layers. for a sense of seasonal warmth and coziness.
I love the plum color with the navy!
Sarah, first — your home tour always gives me total house envy! Your tastes are so impeccably gorgeous (as are YOU) and you do it all so effortlessly. I love how you’re putting your own stamp on it and it’s becoming so you. Second, I really appreciate you sharing all of your “secrets to success” at Haven, and that you also work full time and have a career outside of blogging. Totally could relate during your session and I learned so much. Third, once I devoured about an hours worth of content here…I then found your travel posts. I know exactly where to visit when planning our trip to Europe next year. Thanks so much, so glad we connected at Haven 🙂 xo
Gorgeous home! I love your design style!
Gorgeous home! I love how effortlessly you bring fall into your home!
I love the KW bengal bazaar you added in Sarah 🙂 Such a fab pattern! xo
Beautiful home! Love all your pillows and your fiddle leaf fig 😀

looks very cozy and inviting.
Your house is just so stunning. Always enjoy your beautiful tours!
It’s just gorgeous, Sarah! I always love seeing your home!!
So pretty and timeless! Just beautiful 🙂
Your home is beautiful! I love your style and every fun detail. I am loving the large Darlana light over your table. I have two black Darlana lanterns over my island but now that I see yours, I almost wish I went with that finish instead! Gorgeous!
