I hope you enjoy the tours we have for you. Happy Fall Yall!!
My husband and I went shopping for front porch decor and while we were out I was drawn to gold painted sticks to place in my urns. After I put them in my cart, I realized that I could just spray paint some sticks from my yard. I spray painted 2 branches white and 2 branches gold. The wreath is spray painted dollar store items and an old frame. You can see the directions here.
Inside my home
In my foyer, I used a thrift store arrangement with some thrifted pumpkins. The arrangement was probably a bridesmaids bouquet. Anyway, I thought it was pretty!
I used some old pumpkins, some DIY pumpkins, and a couple of new pumpkins that I found at Hobby Lobby. My husband for the large lantern at Bargin Hunt for $9 and I was so excited when he brought it home. Great job, hubby!
I pulled my ceramic owls off my back porch to add to my fall mantle. The large lantern was a Bargain Hunt score.
I made these faux galvanized pumpkins from dollar store pumpkins and added them into my lantern. The instructions are in this post.
I found these glass pumpkins at Hobby Lobby, and I think they look beautiful on my coffee table.
I purchased this Thankful and Blessed canvas at HomeGoods, and I plan to keep it up all year because that is the way I feel. The Lord has blessed me so much, and I am so thankful.
I looked everywhere for some fall pillows with the color teal in them. So I made these from $3 hand towels, a cut up old pillow that was in my pile of stuff to donate. Then I put them together easily with Stitch Witch fabric glue. No sew is the way to go, and it’s fabric glue for the win! You can see how I made these here.
This is my thrifted fall tablescape. Everything has been purchased from the thrift store. I could not believe I found this huge dough bowl there. Who would give that away? My thrifted pumpkins fit in it perfectly!
I made these DIY fall cloches from cheese ball trays, an old clock, and a candlestick. You can see the post for the directions here.
I hope that you enjoyed my No Place Like Home Fall Tour! Check out the other lovely homes from my friends, and Happy Fall Yall!!

You have a lovely home, Sherry! I am a huge fan of DIY projects, too. I think your making your home as pretty as it can be.
Sherry says
Thank you for visiting and for the sweet words!

Happy Fall Home Tour Day Sherry! I am so glad to be visiting ‘Chez Cole’ to see your beautiful home and your many great decorations. Where to start? Hmmm…Clever ‘knock-off’ of those branches…love that look. And I am quite impressed that you carried your them from the front porch all the way through your home. Think I must be way to ADD to be able to do that. But it makes for such a cohesive look.
I love that you made the pillow from a tea towel..it is perfect! And you must have some serious Thrift Store Karma to be able to find a dough bowl. Next time you see one, buy it and I’ll pay for it and the shipping (or I’ll just pop in the car for a visit to pick it up!)
The neutral and metallic theme really makes your home so calm and zen-like. That whole look on your fireplace and mantle is really lovely.
Thanks for opening your doors today and I wish you and your family a lovely weekend. And I can’t wait to hear about your big shoot next week!!!🎇✨✨🎇✨You’re a star!
Hugs my friend, Lynn
Linda at Mixed Kreations says
Everything looks beautiful Lynn! Love the centerpiece on the table, and all the different colors pumpkins that you have in the fall tour. Your pillows turned out super cute! Thanks for the tour, lots of great ideas!
Jenny says

I want to live at tour house 🙂
Hugs, Jenny
Joy says
I am now going to hunt for tea towels! What a brilliant idea to use them as pillows. Your home is lovely and styled perfectly for fall. I spy many projects that I will be tackling! So happy to be on this tour with you and happier to call you my friend!
Tammy says
Hi Sherry,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. I can’t believe you found that dough bowl at a thrift shop. Seriously!!!! I have been searching for one for years that doesn’t cost a fortune and to think someone donated one. You do an amazing job of incorporating decor into your home that is cost effective. Isn’t everyone trying to accomplish this! 🙂 All too often I have been drawn to items at the store and if I think about it long enough…I figure out a way to accomplish the same look with something I already have at home like painted branches, handmade pillows, etc.

I know you said most things are thrifted or budget but my word I can’t believe it your home is gorgeous and I love everything about it, and just one small thing you might want to change in your post you talked about your 7 new friends and you said you can’t count on them I am pretty sure you wanted to said you can count on them ha ha xx
Sherry says
I can not thank you enough for letting me know about my mistake. That is a big one because it might hurt their feelings!haha! I appreciate it!
Liz says
Everything just looks amazing!!! Too many to say which is my favorite but I do love the lantern your hubby found and the dough bowl!!! Those things are outrageous!!! I’m with you who donates those??? LOL again great job!!! Can’t wait to see the Christmas stuff!! Love you!!!
Carol says
Your house is very lovely, Sherry, and I love how you decorated it for fall. I can’t believe you found that wooden dough bowl at a thrift store. Who would want to get rid of it? You have it filled up and looking beautiful, as are all your other decor. I really love the floral arrangement that you have in your foyer. I’m really blessed and happy that we were all able to meet up and become friends at Haven.
Robin says
Sherry, I can’t believe all of the decor you thrifted or repurposed! So brilliant! I’m with you on the dough bowl…who would give that up? Everything looks so beautiful! Thanks so much for showing me your home!
Nicki Parrish says
Sherry I love every last picture in your Fall tour, and I think we just might be soul sisters, I would love to go thrifting with you someday! We would just have a ball! My favorite is the wreath you made from a frame on your front door, gorgeous! I want to make something like that maybe for Christmas or Spring. Your home is beautiful an I can’t wait to hear about your experience that is coming up!
Katrin says
You have such a cozy and chic home Sherry, just beautiful! I especially love that you are such a creative repurposer [does that word exist??] you have made such clever and inexpensive decorations, like the pillow from a hand towel is amazing!
Megan Wade says
What a beautiful house! I love every single bit of your fall decor. I’ve been itching to pull mine out but it’s hard to find that motivation when it’s still so hot outside! This week though..it’s happening! Now I just need that Hobby Lobby they’re building around the corner from me to open up.
jemma says

So nice to visit here and see all your fall decor on the tour line up. I especially liked your tablescape with thrifted items. I can’t believe they are all thrifted ( you are right, …a dough bowl!!?) and you’ve put them together wonderfully. So many great DIY ideas here including that gorgeous Give Thanks pillow you made from hand towels!
Sherry says
Thank you so much Lori! It was so much fun to do.
