I wanted to do a less traditional fall tour this year. I didn’t go hunting for pumpkins. My usually colorful home has become a little more neutral and I worked with some greenery I had in the garden and one beautiful croton bush and calathea from the local produce junction.
MY LATEST VIDEOSLets get started:
For my horse bowl below I walked around our fall garden and just picked whatever is
currently blooming and still alive. A couple of succulents and mums work perfectly together.
Oh and since I made a flower arrangement, could you vote for my stylemaker flower arrangement on the BHG website by clicking HERE (Make sure to click the “next” button at the bottom of the page to make the vote count)? You have to scroll down to see Cuckoo4Design’s. Thanks so so much!
And I feel like I always need angle shot of this living room view because it’s my favorite:
The throw on the chair is actually a table runner which you can find HERE:
This is the Otomi inspired pattern that I worked on and which is now available in my Etsy shop. Click HERE to see.
It’s perfect for Ikea Besta doors or you could even use it on a window cornice. I will write an extra post about it yet. I know again that it’s not for everyone because it is so busy but I’m digging it.
I also finally found a spot for my new animal plates in the kitchen
and they are perfect with their winter sweaters (HERE):
Who can resist a Lama in a sweater? I sure can’t!
If you are new here you can also see the rest of my plate wall by clicking HERE.
And if you follow me on Instagram then you have seen the vintage settee I added to my dining room. I found it at a local auction. It makes it way more cozy. All I need to do is raise the legs a little with some brass furniture coasters. The pillow is unfortunately not available at Lowes anymore but I found a gorgeous alternative HERE.
I’m actually waiting for a new rug for the bedroom but you can find my new pillow HERE:
I added a new rug by the fireplace which you can find HERE but I already shared a sneak peek of it with you last week:
You can also see my daughter’s new fall rug addition to her room by clicking HERE, just in case you are new around here or missed it:
You can download my daughter’s vintage paint-by-numbers on Etsy by clicking HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
That’s how I’m welcoming fall this year. And I’m totally not missing the pumpkins.
You can shop my look here:
Make sure to hop on over to my friend Kristin of Bliss at Home. She’s next on the list and her tour is stunning.

I absolutely adore that succulent arrangement! Is there such a thing as quiet glamour? I think this is it. Beautiful as always! And I LOVE that plant in your bedroom on the nightstand, it just looks so dramatic – what is it? xxx
Haha thanks! Love the sound of quiet glamour. I needed a change because it was so loud last year 😉

Thanks Karena! I first wanted to paint an otomi pillow but then I decided on this.
Everything looks beautiful! I love the runner and the new rug on that chair in the living room and I totally missed the settee in the dining room.
Thanks, I had my eye on that settee at the auction for a while. Ever since it came to my email inbox.
Your home tour never disappoints, Julia! I love that you used a table runner for a throw and I can get over how gorgeous your flower arrangement is!
Thanks Caitlin, loved your tour this morning too
I enjoy reading your blogs and all the things you create. I just fell in love with your animal planter and was wondering where you got it? Thank you!
Thanks Mila, it is from our local Homegoods
Julia, you are amazing! I absolutely adore that floral arrangement on the coffee table! And that cat Otomi pattern – I’m going to have to get my hands on it!!!
Thanks Brynne, cat otomi forever 😉
Wow, Julia! Everything looks amazing! LOVE your succulent planter and your new entertainment stand! Beautiful tour!
Thank you Jennifer
Your home is so lovely. There are so many beautiful details in your home that I had to look at the photos over and over to get it all in!
Thanks for the visit and sweet words Krystine!
It all looks so pretty Julia! I love your succulent planter and the new otomi print!
Beautiful…gray chair and ottoman , from?
You have the best details, Julia! So pretty!
Oh wow. This is really, really gorgeous. Will you cut me a deal on that otomi decal…cause I kind of want to wallpaper my whole entryway in it! It is just brilliant. I love all the textures you have scattered through the house, everything still feels clean and fresh but so super cozy. Beautifully done and beautifully photographed.
I love your neutral take for fall!! And I’m totally looking for that awesome plant. I’m excited to participate in the tours this fall!

I love how much black and white you used in different patterns — it makes all the layering of different textiles seem cohesive instead of just chaotic. East Meets South Home Tour
Wow!!! Just as gorgeous as always! I love your fall touches and that otomi entertainment center is too cool! Beautiful tour Julia!
Thanks Summer
SO incredibly beautiful (as always), Julia! Love the wallpaper on the media table. And I have to agree… that LR angle is my favorite of your home too 🙂
Thanks Claire, I’m always afraid people get sick of THAT angle.
That horse planter is fantastic! Loving the monochrome look.
I love my planter. I’ve had it for over two years now and don’t think I’ll get sick of it anytime soon 😉
Julia, Have I ever told you how much I love your horse?? It looks so amazing filled with succulents and flowers…as always your home looks fantastic and loving your neutral fall palette this year!
Thanks my friend! I love that planter so much too.
Oh my goodness Julia!!! That dresser!!!! It’s amazing!!! All the fall touches are beautiful! Way to go! xo
Thanks so much Michelle. I totally know the dresser is not everyone’s cup of tea but I got to just do my own thing right?
Your home is just gorgeous and so inspiring! I LOVE that otomi inspired piece so, so much!
Thank you Alexis
Love all the black and white in your living room, everything is so pretty!
