EVERY YEAR, I have same internal debate with myself over my fall décor. Do I use the traditional warm hues of the season, or keep to the turquoise and white theme I have throughout my house? The thing is, I love orange as a color. I decorated with it in college—my roommates and I won a prize for our university’s dorm room decorating contest—and it was one of the primary colors I used in my wedding. But for whatever reason, I don’t tend to wear it or decorate with it now. So during the fall, I have to decide whether to add in some pops of orange. Turquoise and orange can be very pretty together, but the bright turquoise I use in my house tends to clash with the burnt orange of…

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: • Large pumpkin in orange or white• Carving knife• ½ cup bleach• Small bowl or cup• Fall flowers of your choice WHAT YOU’LL DO: 1. With the knife, cut off the top of the pumpkin.

This will help prevent mold.3. Insert a small bowl or cup into the pumpkin—it should be small enough not to see from the outside.4. Add water to the bowl and arrange your flowers. Did you know?

DIY Pressed Flower JOURNAL

Besides taking pictures of the flowers you grow and forage, how can you preserve the beauty of summer during the fall and winter? Lucy Hunter, author of The Flower Hunter: Seasonal Flowers Inspired by Nature and Gathered from the Garden, has made beautiful journals with household and vintage treasures. The pages throng with “snippets of silk and linen from the dye pot” plus “flowers cut from the garden.” But the journal can also offer a reconnection to your natural landscape. “In early summer, previous collections inspire new color combinations in my floral work and inform my planting plans for the cutting garden,” she writes. And as summer turns to autumn, she will look back to her journal and recall “just how lovely that poppy was when the sun was at her…

DIY Pressed Flower JOURNAL

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES to kick off fall décor in my home is my fireplace. This simple DIY project is a leaner sign you can really put anywhere—the fireplace, front porch or entryway. And you don’t need power tools to make it, if you don’t have any. WHAT YOU’LL NEED Your supplies may vary a little, but here are my basics. I started with a 12”x6’ edge glued pine board from my local hardware store. This will be your base. I purchased two 1”x2”x8’ boards to frame out the sign (you can have these cut to size at your local hardware store if you don’t have power tools). Next, the letters. I picked the word “Pumpkins” and purchased 7.68” letters from Hobby Lobby. You’ll need a few colors of paint (I chose…

Did you know the bistro chair was the world’s first mass-produced piece of furniture? Michael Thonet designed the No. 14 chair in 1859 using bent wood, a process of wetting, shaping and drying the wood. Because the chairs are lightweight, affordable and able to stack and store, they became a staple for outdoor terraces in French restaurants and cafés. This reputation earned them the nickname “bistro” chairs. They now come in all sorts of styles. A set of bistro chairs around a dining table can give your home a unique look and add character, or bring them outside for alternative seating in your garden or on your patio. WHICH TYPE OF BISTRO CHAIR ARE YOU? • FOR THE COTTAGE CORE ENTHUSIAST: Wicker bistro chairs convey softness and simplicity. They’re perfect for bringing people…

Treasures Set in Stone

American stoneware was a necessity for life in the 1900s. It was how people preserved, transported and served food. Despite being called stoneware, these dishes are actually made of clay. When they fired the clay, they would add salt to the kiln, which gave the piece a glossy finish. This process is what makes antique stoneware so special. In starting a stoneware collection of your own, look for small bumps on the pieces under the gloss. This is left over from the salt particles, and means the piece is authentic. The most common designs on these dishes are simple marks in cobalt blue ink. If the piece is an antique, the design will be underneath the gloss finish. The lettering and numbering were all done by hand, so keep an eye…

Treasures Set in Stone

CRAFT ROOM Your craft or hobby room can often be a mess, with half-finished projects and piles of fabric and other materials. But even if this is the case, add a couple fall touches to help you enjoy your time here. Show off a few vintage collectibles, or simply add a bright pumpkin and cozy throw. After all, not every space has to be tidy in order to be decorated. MUDROOM This area sees a lot of traffic and is often a walk-through room instead of a sit-down-and-stay room, so the fall décor you add here should be simple and not get in the way. A plaid throw pillow on your mudroom bench, a few fall-friendly hanging pieces on hooks and maybe even an extra pair of rain boots will do the trick. DINING…

Marryn Mathis of The Farmhouse Flower Farm always dreamed of owning a little white farmhouse surrounded by fields of flowers. “But at the time, it had been the fixer upper craze, and you couldn’t find anything,” she says. With her husband in construction, she reasoned that if they couldn’t find the dream, they would just build it. So that’s what they started to do. They found five raw acres of land in Washington and laid plans to build a home. The pair, along with their young children, lived in a travel trailer on the spot. That was the first year they planted dahlias. Fast forward a year and a half, and the foundation on the new house was scarcely completed. “Then one night at 9:30 divine intervention told me to check…

Modern Heirloom Kitchen

Snuggled in a suburb of Ashburn, Virginia, about thirty miles outside Washington, D.C. is a home that came with unique renovation challenges. Designer Alison Giese of Alison Giese Interiors, took on the challenge and drew on her years of experience and creativity to create the dream space the homeowners were looking for. LAYOUT FIXES The homeowners came to Alison with a kitchen they really hated and that was in desperate need of a renovation. “The [original] kitchen was so bizarre with its layout,” says Alison. “The cooktop was wedged into a corner with the dishwasher. So if someone was cooking and someone else was doing dishes, they would be standing butt to butt. It was very strange.” With the unusual layout, it took Alison a lot of out-of-the-box thinking to solve the…

Modern Mountain Farmhouse

Fall and winter are cold in Minnesota. So creating a cozy place for family and friends to gather when they return from outdoor activities was part of the goal for this basement remodel outside Saint Paul. The design team at Interior Impressions created the gathering space in a previously-unfinished basement. Founder Amy Leferink and interior designer Kierstyn Timmers based their design on a mountain farmhouse, with modern elements mixed with a rustic feel. “We wanted it to be really casual, comfortable and inviting, but not feel too rustic like a cabin,” Amy says. The 1,200 square-foot basement is filled with wood pieces, metallic accents and farmhouse elements mixed into streamlined furnishings. “All the things in this space have a natural element to them,” Amy says. “All the things in this space have a…

Modern Mountain Farmhouse

Old homes have a way of capturing our hearts and transporting us back to a simple life. Vintage furniture and décor can do the same, which is why instagrammer Corine Mapes of @junk_gems prefers old treasures to new items. “I don’t really buy anything new,” she says. “And if I do like something new, my husband, Phil, and I will just make it.” Since they now live in an 1889 farmhouse in Carson City, Michigan, Corine decorates her home seasonally in a way that honors its age, using vintage treasures, plenty of texture and natural accents to evoke the feeling of fall. HISTORY REIMAGINED Corine and her family were going through a tough time when they happened upon this property. “We sold our house in two days, and this one fell into our…

There’s no better setting for a party than an open barn. When interior designer Stephanie Kraus of Stephanie Kraus Designs was invited by repeat clients to work on their brand-new bank barn, her face lit up at the prospect. “It was such a unique project,” she says. The bank barn was an addition to the Paoli, Pennsylvania, residence for a family of five. “It was so special to create a space for celebrating monumental family moments and special holidays, as well as for entertaining year-round,” she says. BANK BARN A bank barn is a traditional barn built into the side of a hill, with walkout access on two levels. Originally livestock would live on the lower level, with feed and equipment storage on the top. “It made sense to go with a…

Nothing says farmhouse like living in the country. When home stylist and blogger Kori Martin of The Farmhouse Life and her husband Weston had the chance to move into rural central New Hampshire, they eagerly took it. “I’m a city girl and my husband of 17 years is a good ol’ farm boy,” Kori says. “We knew when we had children that we wanted our kids to grow up in the country.” Determined to have a hobby farm with wide open spaces for their three children, they came upon a 236-year-old farmhouse with 24 acres. “When we first came to see our home, we were instantly drawn in by the wide plank floors, the exposed beams and the six fireplaces,” she says. To fulfill their dream of a hobby farm, they…

”Happy yellows and soothing blues envelope the first of the newly-renovated Villas at Spanish Court. The historic 130-year-old property contains three buildings with eight different “villas,” or efficiency apartments. American Farmhouse Style has teamed up with our sister magazine Cottages and Bungalows to document the restoration process, as Sara McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage brings these buildings back to life. And now we have our first (almost) finished space. This villa has been dubbed The Laura in honor of its sponsor, Laura Ashley. “Everything is driven by a yellow and blue color scheme and the feminine floral print of the wallpaper,” says Sara. “It embodies the Laura Ashley aesthetic.” VISION FOR A VILLA It’s easy to imagine lingering at the dining table with a hot cup of morning coffee right before a busy…

Homemade HAND PIES

The fall holidays have a dessert staple: apple and pumpkin pies. Now there’s room for a portable treat in the same flavors. Baker Grace Kelly May of GK Baked Goods in Fort Wayne, Indiana, started making her hand pies as a fun brunch feature, and they quickly took off. They became a menu staple at GK Baked Goods, with kids especially loving them. To celebrate fall, she’s developed the recipe with both apple and pumpkin flavors. “What I love is the versatility of this flaky pastry,” Grace says. “You’re able to easily change the ingredients to whichever seasonal pie filling you choose.” GK Baked Goods partners with a local orchard, Cook’s Orchard. “We use their honey crisp apples for our apple filling, and they’re the perfect place to spend a fall…

FALL festivities

Hosting an outdoor dinner party during the fall is a way to express your creative side, while producing an experience that’s enjoyable for everyone. For Taylor Lockhart, the marketing and gathering specialist at Full Moon Farms, generating curated experiences is not only her passion, but also her job. “I have a desire to keep creating new experiences for people interested in a minimalist and timeless, yet abundant and elegant experience,” Taylor says. “The farm has given me a unique outlet to let my creativity run wild.” COBWEBS TO CANDLE-LIT Situated in the Santa Ynez Valley in California, Full Moon Farms hosts intimate workshops and gatherings for the community. Taylor and owner Leanne Schlinger hosted their fall supper under the roof of the old wisteria homestead, which dates back to the 1800s. “We…

Blending OLD WITH NEW

Vintage plus modern—how can you get the right combination of both in your farmhouse? “Heritage style is all about preserving the past while incorporating your own heritage and personal style, in keeping with the character of your space,” writes Selina Lake, author of the new book Heritage Style: A Fresh New Take on Traditional Design. Lake explores traditional and historical design elements and ways to incorporate them into your home. Here are a few heritage style features and details that will be a great fit in any farmhouse. “GOOD BONES” Architecture plays a big role in making a home feel historical. “You can use color, furniture, fabrics and art to create the style, so don’t despair if your home doesn’t have those elusive ‘good bones’—the look is still within reach,” Lake writes. The…

Nature’s Entertainment

Besides using pumpkins, how can you make your fall entertaining cozy and festive? Homesteader Lana Stenner’s new book, The Grace-Filled Homestead, breaks down all that goes into the difficult yet rewarding lifestyle of homesteading. Stenner describes the ins and outs of animal care and gardening as well as the grace that fills and fuels her home inside and out. You can also use her insights to create your own homestead-inspired, fall gathering. PERFECTLY IMPERFECT SETTING First, get in the right mind space by embracing imperfection. “Imperfectly perfect outdoor gatherings are a wonderful way to connect and build memories with your loved ones,” Stenner writes. When picking a space to gather, she suggests anywhere outdoors. If you don’t have your own space, many buildings boast rooftop gardens you can use, or you can…

City Girl Meets Farm Boy

Kelly Ballard is a wife, mom of four and the voice behind City Girl Meets Farm Boy. Here’s her story. American Farmhouse Style: Have you always loved farmhouse style, or has your style grown? Kelly: My husband and I have moved eight times, and my styles have changed with each home and season of my life. The one thing that has never changed is my love for decorating my home on a budget. When we moved to our current home eight years ago, I decided to try something new and fell in love with distressed wood, neutral colors and rustic furniture. The longer I live in my home, the more my style continues to evolve. And that’s the beauty of having your own space, because you can continually be the artist of…

Historically FARMHOUSE

In Rolesville, North Carolina, nestled among the trees is a newly-constructed home designed by In Situ Architecture. While its sleek lines and expansive windows are more modern, many of its architectural features honor long-held farming traditions. “There’s a pretty consistent agrarian culture here that we took a lot of cues from,” says architect Matt Griffith. To maintain a modern farmhouse look, the roof is a durable standing seam metal, while the siding is fiber cement in a traditional lap siding format. Matt and his team didn’t use any trim boards on corners, which is a particular detail many farmhouses in this area share. The south side of the house boasts one of the most recognizable farmhouse features, a wrap-around porch. “Like any good farmhouse, there are deep overhangs to provide shade,” Matt…
