Fall Home Tour 2021: Welcoming & Warm Vintage Cottage Style Entryway

I’m starting off this years fall home tour with my autumn entryway! If you’ve been following me for the past few months, then you know I just recently redesigned this entire area for the 2021 One Room Challenge. I really wanted this area to be welcoming and cozy but also very unique!

Once I had completed The One Room Challenge, I realized I had even more to look forward to with all of the new possibilities that lay ahead for seasonal decor in my newly designed space! There’s nothing like a redesigned room to provide inspiration and new life to existing seasonal pieces that were packed in boxes awaiting their fall debut. From the colors in the vintage stair runners, to the pattern in the floral wallpaper, I knew these and so many other new details would perfectly compliment my fall decor.

As many of you know, I like to decorate my home using a mix of vintage, new, and custom DIY pieces. Check out the detail shots of both areas below to see how I used a mix of these items to style my entryway for fall. I will also link as many exact items as possible for y’all to shop, but since many pieces are vintage or one-of-a-kind, I will link a few similar options too! I hope you gain some inspiration for your fall decor and Happy Fall Y’all!

Entryway Refresh: Before + After

As you might have seen on my Instagram, I gave my entryway a little “refresh” right before Christmas! I wanted to modernize the space a bit on a budget and while it’s still a work in progress, I’m loving the updates so far! I was able to find the perfect entryway table at The Domestic in Lexington and gave it a makeover with some paint. I also used the magic light trick to add sconces to the wall on each side of this new round mirror which really gave the space a clean, modern look (find the full post about how to do that HERE!). As far as accessories and finishing touches, I feel like that may be something I continue to update seasonally. I’m still not sold on the bench at the end of the space, but it works for now.

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Cabin Entryway

The first room I’m sharing on this year’s holiday home tour is my entryway! This room recently got a little revamp as I added a new console table and redid the area above it as well with a new mirror + sconces (using the magic light trick!- more to come on that later). I used a bit of my more colorful decor in here this year including my vintage stocking, skis, red beaded garlands, and some vintage-inspired pillows. I love the pops of color with all the black and white, more modern items that are usually in here- like the rug, table, sconces, etc.

Crisp + Clean Entryway Design

I recently completed a little decor refresh for one of my former clients who wanted to update their farmhouse style decor to something more modern and clean. Their space was already beautiful (you can check out the “before” below), and really just needed some updating of accessories. We did get a new, larger console table to better fit the space, which really made a huge difference especially since it has such simple, clean lines. We combined lots of simple and classic pieces that overall created a crisp, clean, and modern space that will last for years to come.
