Ideas of how to add some farmhouse dΓ©cor to your home’s entry way.
Is there an area or room in your home that you have a gazillion ideas floating around in your head but haven’t had the time to tackle and make it all happen?
Yeah, me too. I always have 40 projects on the go and planning another 10 in my head. My poor husband is my hero. He does an amazing job of keeping up with me π
For us, one of those spaces is our entry way. The area that first greets you when you step into our home. Once inside, our staircase is just a couple steps from the entry. I recently came across an American company, Salter Spiral Stair, that brings spiral staircases straight to your home. It now has me dreaming of spiral staircases. They have some stunning options, including solid wood and forged iron, or galvanized and aluminum for outdoor spaces.
Isn’t that beautiful? Before a show you a couple more options, why don’t I first show you some gorgeous entry ways that make me want to run to Home Depot right now and get some of the stuff I need…
And now back to some entryway inspiration…
Are these Vintage Theater Seat from Mrs Rollman Blog not the neatest thing you’ve ever seen? I love the story behind them and how they came to “live” at her house! They’re definitely a very unique find and not something you run across very often! Benches are such an essential piece of entry ways and these would definitely add some vintage charm!
Amy from Home Remedies always has such beautiful entry ways! I especially love when she decorates them for fall and Christmas. And isn’t this Simple Spring Entry so pretty? Many of the items pictured are from her Vintage Farmhouse Shop. So many beautiful farmhouse finds… you definitely need to check it out!
This entry from Shannon at AKA Designs has always caught my eye. Just check out my Pinterest board for entry ways… I think I have it pinned 3 times! I love how bright it feels even with all the dark accent pieces! Isn’t that light fixture so pretty?
And one last entry for inspiration is this beautiful one I found via Instagram! It was shared from The Modest Farmhouse but I can’t find the original owner! Again, I love the color of that bench and that shiplap of course gets all the heart eyes!! Simple yet it’s all so beautiful!
Now it’s time to show you where we’re at and what we’re working with… Here’s our entry way and our front door makeover we did last year. The entry way is one of the many things we loved about our home when we first saw it. It is very spacious and never really gets crowded when we have friends and family over. To the right of the door is a bench and then across from the bench is a big closet. The step leads into the living room and that door way you see there is our newly Farmhouse Office.
This little Missy lives in our entry way as well. If the weather’s nice she’s outside but it’s been SO hot here and she needs air conditioning just like the rest of us so she hangs out in the house π Isn’t she sweet?
Before I go start on our next project, I’ll show you a couple more Salter Spiral Staircase…
These are so great for saving space in a yard, aren’t they? They’d also be a fabulous option for decks that are high off the ground and don’t have a staircase. Be sure to check out their website, as there’s so many great ideas! They come delivered directly to your door, and delivered to any address in continental North America. π How handy is that?!
Thanks so much for stopping by today friends! I’d love to hear any suggestions of what I could add to our entry way that would give it some farmhouse charm!
That’s such a big and beautiful space to work with Kendra! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Thanks, Kristi! I remember looking at countless houses that hardly a couple people fit into the entry way so this is definitely one of our favorited features! Now to decorate and finish it! Have a great weekend, friend!
I love the spaciousness of your entry way as it is one of the assets that you can play-up.
Us too, Miriam! One of the main reasons we liked our home when we first looked at it! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Hi, Kendra, I think the “Shanty2Chic” sisters on youtube have just the thing for your shiplap dilemma. Here’s the link –

It’s the “Shanty House Crash with DIY Plank wall room transformation”.
They do a section of a large wall – which I didn’t think I’d like as they started it – but it actually looks really nice when complete. Check it out!
Thanks so much, Karen! That’s great to know… I’ll definitely check it out! So glad you stopped by!
