Vintage Fall Decor Family Room Tour
I just returned from a two week getaway and was feeling so motivated to cozy up my little family room for fall. If you have a small room where furniture rearranging is out of the question, I’m sharing my favorite ways to get a whole new look just by changing out a few key accessories and displaying favorite collections (I have a new to me vintage collection I can’t wait to share with you). If you love vintage fall decor, come on in!

Remember the antique bamboo plate rack I got the other day? Well, I couldn’t believe my luck when the woman I bought it from gave me all of these flower frogs for free! I love an instant collection!
My favorite little luxury is having a candle burning day or night and these rose gold candle accessories are too pretty to hide.
I haven’t had much retail therapy since March and love using what I have but sometimes a girl needs to treat herself. On our trip, I drove by a little shop that had a bunch of these cute wood Jack o’lanterns lined up outside and I just had to have one!
Switching out art is an easy way to add a seasonal touch. I love the vibrant colors in these vintage crewel art pieces.

Can you spot the weird thing in the room? One of the best gifts I ever got my Harry Potter loving family was this Advent calendar filled with tiny little Harry Potter figurines that are proudly displayed on top of the window moulding!
What’s up with men and their love of giant televisions? My husband wants to get a bigger tv but I told him only if my art will still fit around it! You can see more of my gallery wall with links to each piece here.
I am not a big fan of yellow flowers and when I got married, the only yellow I would allow were sunflowers! Can you believe the chair (it’s one of a pair) has it’s original mid-century blue velvet fabric?! They were probably in someone’s formal living room where people rarely sat on them (I wonder if they were covered in plastic!).
Remember this cast iron doorstop that is a lookalike to my dog Sushi? I need to knit him a tiny little scarf (first I need to learn how to knit).
Here’s a peek from my kitchen table with my favorite little pot heads.

Here’s to everything good that is fall like boot weather, fire pits, crunching leaves, apple cider donuts … I could go on and on about all the things I love about my favorite season.
What’s your favorite thing about fall?

Your home looks gorgeous and cozy, all ready for fall! I love your red and gold kilim style pillows on the sofa. And that white vase with the blue squigglies. Where did you get those?
Thanks so much Suzanne! I love decorating for fall, it’s my favorite season! The blue vase is from HomeGoods and the red pillow you can find here: https://bit.ly/33Gu1Ns
You always have so many interesting things to see and i always love the way you decorate, it’s very inspiring. Love your new collection, have a few of those myself. I did notice something on top of your window and wondered, thanks Kelly for your Fall room, love it!!
My girls each took a little Harry Potter to school with them but left the others here! Happy Friday Marlene!
I’d like to know more about the framed photos hung around your television.
Your place is soooooo nice and very inspirational. I, like you, have no coverings on my mulitpaned windows.
Keep me motivated.
Thanks so much Alan! I love the clean look of curtain-less windows. Of course I have blinds upstairs – I don’t want to frighten the neighbors! The art around my tv is from Minted and I link to each piece in this post: https://www.kellyelko.com/tv-gallery-wall-grid/
Love your family room, especially the rug, where did you find it? The hand carved wood jack o łantern was a great purchase adding a subtle Halloween decor to the room.
Thank you Cris! The rug is from HomeGoods a couple of years ago but similar fringe rugs here: https://bit.ly/3iKoCZW
It looks great! I immediately spotted the figurines and thought what are those up there? So cute
I love the blue velvet chair—what a steal. All of your styling is perfect.
Can you tell me what the big tall plant is? I need something for my corner space.
Finally, I trimmed my mums that were dead on the Bush this summer. I went only up to what I thought was the next bud. I did not get anymore growth and am now wondering did I kill it for next year? ☹️🙏
Good eyes Jeanne! That plant is a fiddle leaf fig and it’s my favorite! Super easy to grow just put it in a sunny location. Do you mean you trimmed your hydrangeas (you said mums). Hydrangeas are fickle. Lots of things can cause no blooms depending on when pruned, spring frost, etc. Fingers crossed you get blooms soon!
Yes, I meant hydrangeas. Are you supposed to let them bloom in the summer (once) and then they fade away and die? And that’s it for the season? What was the story you told of your landscapers pruning your bushes? When did they prune?
These posts I wrote about hydrangeas should answer all of your questions Jeanne!

Thank you! I think I’m good. Whew!
So glad! Lots of info about hydrangeas and I hope it helps!
I love the jack o lantern but the frog and succulent is perfect. You truly are so creative!!
That frog is one of a pair!
