DECORATING This Beautiful Neutral Fall Farmhouse Tour

A wooden shelf holds a variety of pumpkin decorations and potted plants. Several pumpkins have carved faces resembling jack-o'-lanterns, while others are plain. Below the shelf is a counter with more plants, including leafy greens and ivy in terracotta pots.

Don’t you think fall and farmhouse go together?

If you are all about either of those words….

…I have the perfect post for you.

Remember when I talked about my new Christmas book?

I mentioned that I photographed a few bloggers homes decorated for Christmas.

One of those bloggers was my amazing friend Shannon from My Little White Barn.

And she JUST completely renovated another beautiful farmhouse home and decorated it for fall. We met for lunch last week and I went over to her house and took a tour and it was so classic and wonderful and fallified that I begged her to photograph it so I could show it to all of you.

She is SO TALENTED and I know you are going to love taking this tour as much as I loved photographing it.

I also found 17 decorating ideas you can recreate from her house for fall.

Are you ready?

LET’S GO.

A quaint porch decorated with autumn elements features a light brown front door adorned with a wreath, flanked by wheat sheafs and pumpkins in various sizes. Two white rocking chairs sit on either side, and shrubs and greenery line the short walkway leading to the door.

Here’s the front door.

It’s the prettiest front porch with boxwood topiaries and wood planters on the front porch.

And a those giant sheaves of wheat that are twisted that she found at the grocery store.

But the best part?

When I walked up to the front door?

A woman stands in an open doorway of a house with white siding. The porch is decorated with bundles of wheat, green pumpkins, and potted plants. Lantern-style lights are mounted beside the brown door. The woman wears a dark dress and glasses.

Look what greeted me.

A smile.

A welcome.

A friend just waiting to hear what you’ve been up to.

Ready to share all the 10-minute decorating ideas for fall.

A cozy living room with a round wooden table surrounded by white slipcovered chairs, a beige-patterned sofa with green accent pillows, a wooden armoire, and a hanging white lampshade. The tabletop holds books, a vase with dried flowers, and a glass cloche.

1. Cut some fall foilage stems and add them to a pitcher on a plate in the living room.

2. Trade out your existing lampshades with brown checked or wicker lampshades for a fall twist.

Copper cookware, including molds and a pitcher, hanging from a brass rod with hooks against a white wall. The setup has a rustic appearance, enhanced by an old painting in the background and a touch of greenery on the side.

3. Add copper pots and molds to a brass bar and hang them from hooks. You could even tuck a few fall stems into the pitchers.

A dining area featuring a long white wooden table with brown wooden chairs lined up against it. Above the table hangs a brass chandelier with lampshades. The floor is made of light-colored wood, and the wall is adorned with light-colored wainscoting and decorative plates.

A decorative arrangement of six white ceramic plates is displayed on a wall. Two large green leaf-shaped plates occupy the center, surrounded by four oval plates with leaf designs, two plain and two with green foliage illustrations.

4. Hang a plate display for fall. You could use brown transferware plates or lettuce plates or even just plain white transferware.

A wicker basket filled with green holly branches is placed on a wooden chair. The bright, natural light enhances the vivid colors of the leaves, casting soft shadows. The overall setting gives a warm and cozy ambiance.

5. Fill a basket with leaves from the yard. Make sure to hose them off to avoid bugs and then let them dry in place.

A wooden cabinet with multiple shelves displaying various plates and dishware. The plates come in different colors and patterns, predominantly green, white, and brown. The room has a wooden floor and some furniture, with soft natural light coming through windows in the background.

6. Fill the plate rack with baskets and transferware plates.

(total aside: this amazing plate rack was built at the end of a wall between two rooms.)

A cozy kitchen corner with wooden cutting boards of various sizes neatly placed against the wall. A tall wicker basket holds several ceramic plates. An oval decorative platter hangs above, and a ceramic pet bowl with floral patterns sits on the floor.

7. Create a display with breadboards. Stack them against the wall and layer them from the tallest to the shortest.

A white built-in kitchen cabinet with glass doors displays neatly arranged white dishes and glassware. Below are solid-door cabinets with gold handles. To the right, a lamp sits on a round table covered with a white floral tablecloth, next to a staircase.

A green ceramic bowl filled with pears and other fruits sits on a wooden board. Next to it, a pear lies on the white surface alongside a small white pumpkin placed on a stack of plates. A cushioned seating area is blurred in the background.

8. Fill a cabbage bowl with fall fruit like these apples and pears and place it on a wood cutting board.

A light-filled room with white built-in shelves and cabinets lined with various decor items and books. A small wooden table holds a mix of plants, books, and decorative items. A large decorative white rabbit stands in the corner near a window. Cream-colored walls add warmth.

9. Decorate with dried hydranges. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just fill a basket or a glass vase with dried hydrangeas.

A framed painting depicts a serene outdoor scene with laundry hanging on a clothesline amidst trees. Below the painting, a wicker basket holds various brushes, a jar candle sits nearby, and a clear patterned glass pitcher is positioned on the right.

10. Download a print from Etsy and have it printed on canvas like this one that Shannon found online. Most office stores can do this with a downloadable file.

11. Fill a basket in the laundry room with scrub brushes and sponges.

(total aside: there’s nothing like decorating with cleaning supplies.)

A cozy room featuring a wicker armchair with a white throw blanket and a patterned cushion. Next to it is a round side table draped with a light grey tablecloth, topped with a lamp and a plant. A dog bed sits nearby with a door leading to another room in the background.

A neatly organized kitchen shelf filled with various white and patterned ceramic dishes, glass bowls, and kitchenware. A black-and-white checkered teapot stands out among the items. The lower part of the shelf is covered with patterned curtains.

A cozy living room features a brick fireplace with a decorative screen. Above the mantel, a painting and a vase with dried flowers are displayed. Two white cushioned chairs with a leaf pattern and ruffled edges flank a small table. A checked ottoman sits nearby.

12. Rattan vases are the cutest way to add a little fall. Fill it with leaves from the yard.

13. Slipcover chairs with a block print fabric and add ruffles to the bottom.

14. Cover a bench with a fall fabric like this brown and white checked fabric.

(total aside: these two tips take more than 10 minutes —but they were too cute not to share.)

A small home bar with white cabinetry. The upper cabinets have glass doors showing various glasses and bottles. The counter has a gold faucet and striped towel. The area is well-lit, with a white tile backsplash and light wooden flooring.

A home bar features white cabinets with glass doors displaying various bottles and glassware inside. The countertop includes a wine bucket, a stand mixer, and a dish towel. Below, there's a wine cooler with glass doors. A small wooden step stool stands nearby.

15. Add dishtowels in fall colors like this brown checked towel.

A cozy sunroom with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of a lush green lawn and a swimming pool. The room features a white sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a small side table with decorative items. A chandelier hangs from the white ceiling.

16. Add a shelf and fill it with a collection of baskets.

(total aside: Shannon has been collecting Nantucket baskets from thrift stores.)

A spacious bedroom with a large bed featuring white and beige linens, cushioned bench at the foot, and a chandelier overhead. Light wooden doors, large windows, and light-colored walls enhance the room's airy feel. A plush chair sits in the corner.

A vintage wooden door with a polished brass handle is partially open. The background is slightly blurred, featuring soft natural light filtering through a window, highlighting a serene, cozy interior space.

A close-up view of a vintage-style bathtub faucet with a shiny brass finish. The fixture features intricate detailing with white accents on the handles and is equipped with a handheld showerhead, all mounted on a white ceramic bathtub.

A bright, elegant bathroom with white cabinetry, a vanity with a mirror and stool, and a free-standing bathtub with a glass shower enclosure. The room features a light wood floor, a patterned rug, a wicker basket, and a window with sheer curtains.

A wicker basket filled with fluffy, light brown dried grasses on a metal stand. A white rectangular soap bar with the words "La Savonnerie de Nyons Vanille" engraved on it is positioned at the front, attached to the stand.

17. Add fall soap and a basket full of fall leaves in the bathroom.

(total aside: I love adding a little bit of fall to each of the rooms like Shannon does. Just a few fall leaves or a pumpkin here or there.)

It’s all amazing.

Just like you, Shannon.

Happy fall from my house to yours. It was so much fun to visit and thank you so much for letting me share the tour with everyone.

And don’t worry.

I’ll be back again for coffee.
