A Fall French Country Home Tour with Soft Surroundings

September has ushered in the cooler fall weather, and I couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Soft Surroundings to create a new look for this room for our French Country House Tour.

 I am working with a group of super French Country Bloggers headed by Janet Coon of Shabby Fufu blog.  See the fabulous furnishings and accessories from Soft Surroundings and how we all have incorporated them into our own homes. The icing on the cake is that Romantic Homes Magazine is going to cover our French Country Fall Home Tour to spread the inspiration around!  

So many ways to style a room for fall, and sometimes a new piece of furniture  

or a great accessory is a fabulous way to get you inspired.
Pale shades of blue are my go to colors, and sometimes Fall decorating can be a challenge.

My fall palette is typically less of the oranges and more of the beige and tans.

Even then, I am a less is more girl, when it comes to fall decor, so I choose carefully.
I actually started decorating with only traditional fall colors....
but then I opted to add something softer.
(Thats why at some points you will see my big pink floral bouquet and other times it will be missing.)

How about these blue Cinderella pumpkins?  I think they were made

for  me, 'cause I rarely do orange! I snapped up a bunch at the farm stand

and knew they would work perfectly with my fall decor plan.

For starters, I used one of the French Norman Grain Sacks from 

Soft Surroundings as a rustic runner and focal point of the large trunk/coffee table.  

This is a vintage grain sack with a newly applied graphic in a romantic french style

 and I just love it!  Its a rustic tan color and has a dark aqua stripe down the middle.
Add some blue pumpkins (of course!)  to create an easy fall centerpiece.  

A plaid throw in grey and tan tossed over the back of the sofa is 

also an easy decorator trick to bring in the fall season.

Don't forget to play around with throws and pillows, 

you will be amazed at the different looks you get.

There are also a lot of things you can do with a grain sack for that casual 

French Country look, but used as a runner its super easy and stylish.

Pillows made from these pretty old grain sacks are another option of course. 

 A great fall accessory, don't overlook the grain sack!

Now, to my favorite piece from Soft Surroundings....

the Fontaine Wingback Chair in French Grey !! 
Soft Surroundings is a clothing and furniture company both online 
as well in brick and mortar stores.  Their furniture is lovely and has a
French sensibility to it, which I adore. 

This handsome chair has added that perfect balance

 of masculinity to my room that has feminine touches.

French style can be fussy, and this chair mixes it up nicely.  

The Fontaine has that deconstructed look that is rustic and appealing.  

The chair is in a dark grey linen with tan burlap that is placed on the outside 

of the seating area for a two tone look, with deep button tufting. 

 It's already my husband's favorite place to have his morning coffee.

It's such a gorgeous chair! 

Last, but not least, the Riviera Nesting Tables were added to complete 

the new look of the room.  I adore these tables in the distressed blue finish.

The blue has some green in it, which is my favorite kind of blue.  

My walls are painted in pretty Ben Moore Woodlawn Blue,

so you can reference that color if you are considering this versatile set. 

Many of you may know I used to paint furniture professionally,

 and these tables are done very nicely.  

Even my son thought they were antiques!  

They are made from solid poplar wood, not a composite.

Well built and sturdy, I couldn't be happier with them.  

At the last minute I added these flowers....

And then I had to take photos of the whole room again.

So pretty! 

Yummy pink and blue with grey and tan:

~the Maison Decor Fall Palette~

Maybe not the typical Fall decor for most, but its fun to make 

it my own. That is what personal style is all about!

Either way, I love decorating and its been fun to play with my

new furnishings and accessories from Soft Surroundings.

Cozy up for fall and pull your chairs around the fireplace.

Set out some pumpkins and add some leaf garlands around your mantle 

or mirrors.  Use your favorite colors that go with your palette and

you will create a fall feeling in no time that is your style.

Our living room still has the romantic look I love, but the new additions

have given it a rustic flair, perfect for fall and the cooler months ahead.

Although I received compensation for this post, all opinions are my own.

I really couldn't wait to work with this company!

Now I'm headed to visit my blogger friends homes to see how they changed it 

up for fall with Soft Surroundings, and get inspired to decorate for Fall.
