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:

September mantel
  From Goodwill to gorgeous

Have a great day!

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
