So a couple of weeks ago I was happy to be a part of an eclectically fall home tour series with several wonderful bloggers.
And this week I’m honored to be part of another fall home tour series that my friend Christina from The DIY Mommy and I started last year – the Canadian Bloggers Home Tour!
Wait.
I bet you’re wondering why I’m doing a second fall tour when I just did one.
Well, some new goodies arrived between the first tour and this one, so I actually have some new stuff to share. And I got my front porch all pretty and decorated to show you too.
Plus I just love to share pretty pictures!
Our front yard still has a few signs of summer – namely the Canada flag and the string lights under the porch. The flag will come down in October to be tucked safely away for the winter and the porch string lights will be switched out for lights along the eaves.
Our two white porch rockers were one of my favorite additions early this summer. They’re admittedly not as comfy as I’d like, but they sure look cute out there!
We had to search high and low one rainy weekend to find pumpkins and mums in early September. I think these giant beauties were totally worth it!
Why don’t you come inside?
Our entryway didn’t really get much fall decor.
We’ve just been too busy and it’s quite frankly it’s usually covered with a chaotic pile of shoes and a heap of jackets. That and newspaper fingerprints from certain children that insist on touching the walls after they’ve folded their papers for delivery.
Sigh.
From our entryway, you go directly into our living room – which got spruced up for this tour with a few new pillows by my friend Lucy from Craftberry Bush.
I just love her stuff!
Next to our living room is our dining room.
And we got a pretty new table in here from Leon’s. You’ll be seeing more of it in the coming season.
(Don’t worry the “old” table that we built will be making a home in my basement studio!)
Don’t you just love those A-frame legs?!
And look at the plank wood table top…
Oh la la!
It all fits so well into our dining room, don’t you think?
And finally I thought I’d finish with a little tiny touch of fall in our master bedroom.
For the rest of our home make sure you go check out our other house tours.
Don’t forget to check out all the other wonderful bloggers on the tour this time around for even more fall inspiration!
Now it’s time to tour some other Canadian homes all decked out for Fall. This Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we’re giving you an exclusive tour of our homes with lots of autumn decor inspiration:

Love all your Fall touches, Shannon. So cozy! And that table is really stunning. Fits so well with your decor. ~Kerri, A Pop of Pretty
Thanks, Kerri!
Beautiful!! love the new table!
THanks, Virginia!
Absolutely gorgeous Shannon!! Love your new table 🙂
Thank you Ashley!
As a blogger from Ontario I always look forward to these Canadian tours. Your dining room really stands out to me this time, from the beautiful new table (goregous planks indeed!) and the drippy chandelier, to the stacks of dishes on the sideboard and the unique center arrangement on the table. Your home is always lovely, Shannon. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so very much Elizabeth. 🙂
Thanks for more Canadian bloggers!!
Yay!
So many intriguing and unique decor going on in each photo. I found myself spending so much time looking for something I may have missed on my first scroll through. Wow! Simply ah-mazing!
🙂 I do love me a good vignette or two! Thank you so much.
Looks beautiful as usual. Might I ask where you got the beautiful candle sticks that are on your table. I love the wood tone. So warm looking. A nice change of pace for this time of year.

The candlestands are from Birch Lane. The set was about $150 USD but they have gotten so much love and so many comments and so much use. They are worth every penny!
Adore all of these spaces. So eclectic and well thought out. Very charming and inviting.
Thank you Terry. 🙂 Very eclectic, yes. Lol.
Nice to see a Fall Tour hosted by fellow Canadian bloggers. Oh Canada!!!
🙂 Oh Canada, indeed!
Your home is sooo gorgeous Shannon! I admire your style so much! Your style is amazing and always looks fresh & current! Have a wonderful week! I have tweeted and shared this on my Facebook page! Angie xo
Thank you so much Angie!
Is that a DIY headboard? Love it.
Yes! There’s a tutorial here: http://akadesign.ca/how-to-make-a-wood-plank-headboard/
Thanks for sharing! I had fun taking a click through to some of the other tours- it was good to learn of some other fellow Canadian Bloggers 🙂 Love your new table- some other favorites include the cotton wreath as well as the candle stands in your dining room. Just lovely!
Thank you Ashlea! It’s nice to find other Canadians, isn’t it?!
Love that new table of yours! It’s funny, but I think the simple berry wreath on the front door might be my favorite part of the whole tour! I’ve been looking for a wreath just like that!
🙂 That is funny. Sometimes simple is best.
This is simply lovely as always, Shannon! I love your use of texture to make the neutral colours look happy and alive. I love your new table too! Thanks for doing this tour with me. <3
So happy we started this tour together Christina!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Shannon! I love all your fall details- and how fun to see the front of your house and your fall front porch! I love the new table as well. Your floor to ceiling board and batten gets me every time. Beautiful job! (Sorry it took me so long to get over here- it was a busy week. But this is the perfect way to spend my time with my Sunday morning coffee:)
Thank you for making time to come by Krista!
Love the pumpkin sign in the entryway, so perfectly random!
Hi! I was wondering where you got your dining room chandelier! It is beautiful!
It’s by Hampton Bay at The Home Depot. ?
Where did you get the piece above the couch? I am looking for something like that!
We build it after we saw the smaller Pottery Barn ones a few years ago. But there is a tutorial here: http://akadesign.ca/pottery-barn-decorative-ledge-knockoff-2/
