Fall In My Farmhouse Dining Room
Come see my farmhouse dining room decor with pops of natural splendour!
The whole time that I was working on my dining room makeover, I was thinking about how much fun I was going to have decorating it for the different seasons and holidays! Do you have spaces in your home that you actually get excited about decorating? {If you missed the reveal of my newly madeover dining room, you can see the before and after’s by clicking HERE.}
My K-I-S-S method of fall decorating came into play in a big way in this room. Do you know what K-I-S-S stands for in the world of decorating? Learn all about it right HERE.
I was able to use candle rings and twig wreaths to dress up the mirror and the stylish plates that are hanging on the shutters. I wired a candle ring to a plain twig wreath for the mirror and then used Command Strips to hold each wreath all in place.
If I turn the camera at just a little bit of an angle, I get a great reflection of the other side of the room in the mirror. Love it! That’s one of the big reasons that I kept a mirror above this little chest, instead of replacing it with a chalkboard, when I gave the room its makeover. Plus it adds quite a bit of extra light to this dark’ish room.
My vintage shelf, that hangs above the sideboard, used to be a fireplace mantel. Someone simply cut the side pieces off and then I added hooks to it. Sometimes I hang decorative baskets from the hooks, but I thought would be too much for this vignette. I made sure to load it up with nature inspired fall goodies though!
When I made my Fixer Upper style hanging lanterns, I had a feeling that they’d be a fun place to add seasonal accents too. For fall, I dressed them up with a couple of fall colored plates and some cotton stems. You can find the tutorial for making your own hanging lanterns displays HERE.
Using more of the K-I-S-S method of fall decorating, I left my dough bowl on the table and simply refilled it with all sorts of fall goodies. If you have trouble knowing what to fill a dough bowl with or how to do it, I gave step by step directions HERE.
Let me pull the camera back a little to give you a better view of the room and layout.

Sharing at THESE great parties.
Love it! Very warm and inviting!
Nicely done!
Love, love, love your dining room!
Beautifully done!
Your decorating style is so simple, but effective. I have much to learn from you!
Love your grapevine wreath! Any suggestions where can to buy one that is not flimsy like the ones sold at craft shops?
Hi Hope. I’ve bought a few grapevine wreaths at Micheal’s, but I much prefer the ones at Hobby Lobby. They seem to be better quality and they always have a large selection of sizes.
I am wondering about your table… I have been on a quest to find a farm style table that fits my space (72 x 36) and it is tough. Did you paint a table that was more formal to give it a farm style?
Hi Heather. Yes, that’s exactly what I did! I painted the legs, but not the top because I figured it would get scratched up over time. If you’re interested, you can see what the furniture looked like before in this blog post: http://www.worthingcourtblog.com/dining-room-before-after/ .
Beautiful!! Great centerpiece and I want those buffalo checked chairs : )
I love your mantle and how you change it for each season.
Very beautiful@@
I like your wreath in your dining room. I made one for my front porch , but it doesn’t look as good as yours. I went into Pottery Barn the other day and what a beautiful place!
I am so happy to have found your blog. I am moving into a new home in a few weeks. Farmhouse decor is my style! I love the small shutters as sconces. That is a fistulous idea. I also the the coat-rack mantle. I will definitely be using some of your ideas in my new home.
Oh my excuse my typo! It’ should have said fabulous idea!
Beautiful!
I LOVE the buffalo check fabric on the chairs!!!! You dining room is so warm and inviting!
Suzy,
I’m so lucky to have found your blog. My husband and I have almost completed re-creation of the fixer upper hanging lanterns. However, we have not hung them on the wall yet. The lanterns are suspended from the hanger and I wondered if a support or stabilizing bracket is needed to prevent side to side movement?
Thank-you in advance for your advice. S. Benson, Alpharetta, GA
Hi Susan. If you’re referring to the wood piece that the lantern hangers are mounted on, side to side movement isn’t a problem. The wood pieces are hanging from the wall using a D ring hanger that I’ve added to the upper corner of each side, on the back. If you’re asking about whether or not the lanterns will move, mine hang perfectly still unless they’re bumped – then they swing just a bit. Mine are not hanging in a location where anyone can easily bump into them though. The only time that I’ve bumped them is when I’m doing something in that area – like dusting.
Love The mantle with the hooks and how you decorated it. Simplistic, elegant, pleasing to the eye.
Love how you’ve arranged your dough bowl. Mine is so huge it takes too much to fill it. Maybe I need another one ?
Really pretty. I love the indoor shutters and mirror design. I needed an idea to make a small living room feel larger. Thanks!
