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!

I knew it would fit so perfectly in this space and add such character as well. I was also pleasantly surprised with how easy installing a stair runner was and how smoothly the process went! I have gotten so many questions about how I completed it, so I wanted to share a full post with allll the details, and what I learned.
