Fall Home Tour With House By Hoff

Hi Design, Dining + Diapers readers!
I’m April, from House by Hoff, and I’m so excited to be guest posting for Taryn!
Today I’m sharing my Fall Home Tour with you!
Let’s begin, shall we?
No matter the season, I usually find myself decorating with two of my favorite colors…turquoise and yellow.  It just happens.  I can’t help it.
If I am an artist, then my couch is my palate, and my throw pillows are my paint….
is this getting too deep? Sorry.
My “Blue September Mantel” is one of my favorites to date.
My fall vignette is made up of (mostly) thrifted pieces!  Gotta love that!
Love this little chalkboard folding chair!  I found it at Goodwill for $1.99 and transformed it with some chalkboard paint!  My (almost) 2-year old loves to sit in it.  (The pillow is a Target dollar section find!)
Some vintage-inspired fall wall art!
Thanks for taking the tour! :)
If you like what you see, chances are you’ll like my blog!
You can follow me on bloglovin‘, facebook, pinterest, and hometalk!
You can also check out some of my recent favorite posts:

  From Goodwill to gorgeous

Have a great day!

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
