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:
Old window chalkboard calendar
 Fabric scrap lampshade
:Rope wrapped painted pot
September mantel
  From Goodwill to gorgeous

Have a great day!
