Fall Home Tour 2020: Cozy Vintage Eclectic Entryway

Fall is one of my favorite times of year to decorate! I love the feeling of walking into our home and instantly being greeted with this cozy nook. Every year, I decorate my home with my my favorite fall decor. I try to always reuse some old favorites, but it’s always fun to add in some new fall finds as well! This year, I repurposed my vintage equestrian gallery wall in the entryway. You may recognize some of these pieces, as the were once above this area of my home, in the corner of the staircase. I love the way they fill this space! All of the dried stems I used are available at the Amsden! They are the perfect soft touch for any space.

Bring on the cozy! Fall is here and there’s nothing like a soft rug to keep your feet warm when the weather gets cooler and add just the right amount of texture, pattern, and cozy vibes to your space. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite autumnal rugs that will make you want to stay snuggled inside watching a good movie with a hot cup of cider all fall long. I’ve included a variety of rugs that range from the more traditional Persian style to modern and geometric and all are very affordable too!

DIY Giant Built-In Wall Desk {Updated}

I shared this DIY wall desk I put together a few months back but today I wanted to share an update with even more ideas for customizing this on your own! With school starting virtual and many families needing a dedicated place for their kids to work, I thought it would be a perfect time to share this project again! This is pretty affordable and easy to do, and is great for creating a large workspace with plenty of storage. I listed and linked the items I used, as well as the steps of how to put it together! I have loved have this workspace and have been using it constantly- it’s so comfortable and sits at the perfect height for crafting, art projects, or working on my computer.
