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 love anything polka dot, especially when it comes on a flowy vintage skirt!  Vintage skirts are one of my summer staples and so easy to dress up for special events or down for daytime wear.  For a casual Sunday, I paired this one with a simple tank, sandals, and straw bag.

Summer Porch 2018

Today I'm sharing my summer patio which I refreshed and redecorated just a little bit since last year.  The biggest change out here was recovering the cushions on my furniture with this black and white striped fabric from Amazon.  The cushions have springs on the inside and are flat on the bottom, so I was able to recover them easily with a staple gun, scissors, and no sewing.  I shared a little more about my porch clean-up process and everything that I added/ changed here

Spring Chambray Smocked Dress

   When it comes to spring dresses, I especially love long-sleeved options to bridge the gap between spring and summer.  This chambray smocked dress from ASOS is the perfect transitional spring piece with such a sweet vintage flair.  I love the bell sleeves and the overall laidback silhouette of this dress and I know I'll be wearing it a ton from spring and even into summer.  You can shop my chambray dress as well as a few of my favorite kitchen decor pieces seen in this post below! Happy Spring!
