Canadian Bloggers 2018 Fall Cottage Home Tour

Welcome to our Fall Cottage Home Tour! I am so happy to have you stopping by today to see our home cozied up for fall. I’m joining up with some fabulous Canadian Bloggers who have been sharing their homes all week, you can find links to all of their tours at the end of this post! Many thanks to Christina from the DIY Mommy and Shannon from Home Made Lovely for hosting!

I always enjoy transitioning our home for the changing season, and usually do so with fresh flowers, greens, and re-arranging a few things. In a perfect world, I would love to extend summer as loooooong as possible though… How about you?! 

I am a mama to four kiddos- three boys and a girl. Ages 10,8,4 and 10 months! I am always especially grateful for our home this time of year, as I homeschool this kids and it’s such a blessing to have this space to hang out in. We are slowly easing into our fall routine and haven’t started school yet. I am wrapping up my first season running a flower farm, and it’s been pretty non stop! It’s just made finding my rhythm a little off in terms of wrapping up weddings and markets, and jumping into the fall routine! Can you relate at all? This just felt like the zippiest summer ever.

You can catch the post all about our Fall Fireplace HERE.

There are a few continual elements that speak to my heart this time of year: crisp juicy apples from our apple trees, the changing leaves, and the deep hues of the flowers as they put on their final show. The colors always seem especially rich and vibrant.

Our family room has to be my favorite in the house… It just has so many pretty features. I designed and built it with my husband Matt. We put in every stone, built the mantel, painted all of the planking… So much love went into this house, and I truly never thought I would own a home like this! My hubby really made it all happen.

I just adore this sweet family banner made with love by a local artist. Her name is Gian and she teaches the Brush Lettering Workshops at our studio. She does all types of prints and special pieces for weddings and events. You can find her here if you’re curious to see more of her work.

I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do on this piano wall. I started by taking everything off the top of the piano and down from the wall. I usually have some sort of gallery wall here, but I just love where this vignette landed.

I put together a cheery arrangement filled with  sunnies, and it landed in our bathroom just through the door to the left.  I especially love the sweet pea vines. A clean bathroom is one of my favorite things…

Back to the living room though, because I got carried away and took 90 million pictures.

Thanks for stopping in today! Be sure to visit some of these other home tours  for inspiration, I know the work that goes into creating these pretty spaces- especially during a busy week for the many mamas who are getting their kids back to school! I’d love to hear from you in the comments- where in this world are you from? If you’re Canadian did you get snow this week like us in Alberta?!! It’s just far to early…. ugh!! But, no matter- I’ll take it as a cue to make some soup and drink extra coffee. I’m thankful that we are not on evacuation from the hurricane this weekend. My prayers are with all the families affected.

In case you are making your ways indoors, I’ll be sharing some yummy zuchinni recipes next week and I also need your help with a design dilemma…
