HOUSE Fall Decorating That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously

A wicker basket is filled with red leaves and holds two wooden signs. The signs read "happy" and "fall" in cursive. The basket is placed on a beige surface, with a tufted cushion and patterned pillow in the blurred background.

If you’ve been following along with all the fall decorating here at Thistlewood, you might have seen this post.

And this easy fall decor arrangement

And this front porch.

It’s kind of bright (is that an understatement)?

You may have noticed that I’m decorating with purple and pink and orange and bright colors.

Today is different.

Today is all about the back of the house.

It’s neutral and light and airy and vintage and farmhouse and white.

You might think I’m confused.

You might think I can’t make up my mind about my fall decor.

You might think my fall decorations are all party in the front and business in the back.

And guess what?

You would be right.

A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a gray dress and patterned boots, smiles while holding a large wicker basket filled with red-orange foliage. She stands in a cozy, well-lit living room decorated with autumn-themed accessories and neutral-toned furniture.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Am I the only one?

So today can we discuss a little bit about my decorating and why I decorate like this?

Would it help if I started with an explanation?

See, I used to live in this farmhouse. If this is your first time visiting or you’ve been away from the blog or if you googled farmhouse decor and are just finding me today…

….this is the rest of my story.

(total aside: aren’t these boots the cutest? My niece who’s in high school just borrowed them so they have the high school stamp of approval.)

A cozy living room with a neutral-toned couch adorned with cushions, a white coffee table with a wicker basket containing red flowers and books, two matching table lamps with beige shades, and two framed botanical prints on the wall behind the couch.

My story is all about a girl named KariAnne who loved a farmhouse.

Sigh.

I loved that farmhouse so much.

It’s a tale that starts at the end of a country road with hay and cows and barns and it has ups and downs and joy and sorrow.

And then?

A white hutch displays an array of miniature autumn-themed decorations. Small ceramic and wooden houses are nestled between white dishes and pitchers. Yellow and orange fall foliage accents are interspersed throughout the shelves, adding a warm, festive touch.

A cozy seating area features a plush, cream-colored pumpkin-shaped decoration, resting against two textured pillows with white dot and quatrefoil patterns. The neutral tones and soft materials create a warm, inviting autumnal ambiance.

Life happened.

KariAnne followed her husband her heart and moved back to Texas to take care of family.

But the best part of the story?

A cozy reading nook with a cream-colored armchair draped in a knitted blanket and pillows. Behind the chair, white bookshelves display books, white pumpkins, decorative plates, and a small “happy fall” sign, creating a warm, inviting autumn atmosphere.

When she moved back? She didn’t just move back into any old home.

She packed her bags and her farmhouse decor and those happy fall signs.

And moved back to the home that she grew up in.

A stylish, neutral-toned table setting features a white vase holding dried, light brown foliage. Beside it, a spherical, woven basket and a smaller dark basket adorned with a beaded garland sit on a light-colored, textured surface.

That’s me.

KariAnne.

Living in my new (old) home with boxes and boxes and boxes of fall farmhouse decor.

It’s what I have.

It’s what I know.

A decorative arrangement features a white ceramic vase filled with wood slice branches adorned with artificial yellowish-brown leaves. The small, circular wooden ornaments add a rustic touch to the composition, which is placed on a side table next to a light beige sofa.

I wanted to use what I had.

I didn’t want to start over with new decor.

I love the farmhouse look and the vintage feel and the history of all that has gone before.

The story of all that before.

A display shelf filled with white and rustic pottery, including bowls, plates, and pitchers. The shelves are decorated with small wooden houses and autumn leaves, creating a cozy, festive ambiance. The background of the shelves is painted in light colors.

// brown house // white house // fall branches // fall stems //

And so I sorted through all the bins.

Truth?

It was a little overwhelming.

I got rid of six bins of stuff and divided the rest into farmhouse and bright.

A white shelf with five rows displays various white ceramic and glass vases, bowls, and decor items against a dark background. To the left of the shelf, a vibrant autumnal branch with red, orange, and yellow leaves adds a splash of color.

A dining room features a white table with six white chairs on a blue patterned rug. Behind the table, a large window with patterned curtains is flanked by framed art. Two leafy red-orange plants stand between striped chairs. A chandelier hangs above the table.

A decorative blue and white ceramic bowl filled with blue and white patterned porcelain orbs and small orange pumpkins. The bowl has a geometric design around its edges and is placed on a reflective glass surface.

A dining room with navy-blue walls, a white dining table with white chairs, and a chandelier overhead. The table is adorned with autumn-themed decor, including pumpkins and red foliage. The room also includes a patterned rug, striped chairs, and large windows with patterned curtains.

Then I decorated the front of the house like this.

And the back of the house?

It looks like this.

A stylish, neutral-toned table setting features a white vase holding dried, light brown foliage. Beside it, a spherical, woven basket and a smaller dark basket adorned with a beaded garland sit on a light-colored, textured surface.

I know it’s random.

I get it.

I understand.

You are probably thinking…KARIANNE MAKE UP YOUR FALL DECORATING MIND.

A display shelf featuring two small decorative houses made of felt. The house on the left is brown with a green roof, and the house on the right is white with a tan roof. Surrounding them are autumn-themed leaves in shades of yellow and orange.

// brown house // white house //

That’s me.

A little random.

A little scattered.

A little following bright lights and fall leaves.

I think I have fall decorating ADD. I go in the front rooms and I love it. Then I go into the back of the house and I love it, too.

And the funniest part?

It’s all so me.

Sometimes I’m serious and thoughtful and calm and sometimes?

I’m a party waiting to happen.

A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a gray dress and patterned boots, smiles while holding a large wicker basket filled with red-orange foliage. She stands in a cozy, well-lit living room decorated with autumn-themed accessories and neutral-toned furniture.

// blue knit dress // cowboy boots // neutral hooked rug //

People ask me my decorating style all the time.

The best way I can describe how I decorate for fall?

It’s like a reverse mullet.

Business in the back.

And a party in the front.

Happy fall, friends.
