It is no secret how much I love entryways. If you visit the blog you see how much I love changing our entryway, especially as the seasons change. To me the entryway is the welcome sign for your home. A unique space to showcase your style, and what to expect throughout the home.
The farmhouse has a very fun and challenging space to decorate. I decorate to the right of the door as well as the stairway wall to the left. I can take two different looks from two different perspectives to style our entryway, and that makes this girl who likes to changes things up very happy. This wall has the hanging accessibility where the other wall offers the bench area that you can see [HERE].
Throughout the years, from house to house, entryway styling and decor has taken on a few different forms. From the obvious and spacious to the space saving & creative. Not all homes have a well established-carved out area to style an entryway. It may just be simple layout of the home or a smaller entry to the home that limits your area to style. Nonetheless, I am here to testify, if there is a will- there is a way. You can find antique pieces that can double as an anchor the space and establish your decor backdrop for your home.
In the past I have used antique furniture like cabinets and wardrobes, with season decor stacked on top, and a coat or hat hung from the handles. It does not necessary have to antique, any piece of furniture, old or new will work. I have used an entryway table styled with greens and books. All of which eat up a little space in your room, space that we felt was well used. However, in the time leading up into spring cleaning, I am in the remove everything mindset, and wanted to style one side of our entryway with a thin and minimal approach.
I am in love with this vintage accordion peg rack find, a thought it was the perfect fit for the right side of the door. What I love about the accordion peg rack is the ability to fit the width of any space. You can stretch it out or keep it clustered together, all achieving a slightly different look and feel to the space. We found a happy middle, maybe leaning towards the clustered side of the accordion, and felt it fit the width between doors just perfectly. Right when I found this accordion hanger I knew that I could use it for so many things, but I was really excited to share how a simple find like this can create an entire simple entryway space. I hope the blog has a great mix of inspiration on it, but that it always shows that it doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.
I hope you all enjoyed this little entryway style, and the walk through to achieve the look. The other day, Jose told me he wishes I would share the why a little more– because when it comes to the design he doesn’t always understand how to bring things together. Some of it is interior design principles, and some of it is all in my head. But I think he had a great point, too quickly I put spaces together, and I think there are a few people out there that want to understand the why a little more, to further help them put their space together, and that is why I get on here an blog. I want to inspire spaces, whether directly with certain items or indirectly teach the way I see interior design. Again, I hope all that makes sense and I hope you enjoyed. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and every other day. Xx Liz Marie
I always find your blog super inspirational. Thanks for the share.
Hi Liz,
Love this!!! I have been trying to get a hold of you. I have tried through messenger but no response. I talked to the girls in the shop and wanted to buy one of the settee’s. They said most in the shop were sold but you might have one from home that you would sell. If so would you let me know. I am planning a trip up to the shop on Saturday and if you have one I would need to make sure I make arrangements for a truck to bring it back with me. Hope you see this and can get in touch with me.
Thanks,
Kris
I love what you do and how you change things up all the time. One question: do you hang things with nails or in some other way? Are you constantly filling nail holes and touching up paint? 🙂
I love your decorating style and how you are always changing things up. Question: Do you hang things with nails or some other way? Are you constantly filling nail holes and touching up paint? 🙂
Great question!
It is a mix of stuff. If we think it’ll hold up on Command Strips, we lean that way if we can. However, we aren’t scared of throwing holes from nails or screws. We have extra paint for each room, and fill the holes without issues.
Hi Kris,
So sorry we have been pretty busy around here. I don’t have any settee’s at the moment, but might be able to steer you in a direction. What kind where you looking for?
Oh Thank you so much for stopping by the blog and leaving such a kind message!
That accordion peg rack with the porcelain tips is an awesome find. I never see them anymore. My mom had one and I’d love to find one for our house. It’s all so cute.
Always enjoy seeing your farmhouse. Better than any magazine, that is for sure. I have a very tiny, very old farmhouse – just 570 square feet. I have to be super picky with what comes to live in my little home. Hard to believe that actual families used to live in this little farmhouse of mine when it had no running water or electricity. We are so spoiled and blessed these days. I continue to keep you and your husband in my prayers re: children. God knows the desires of your heart. I did a post about hearts in the bible and included some photos of hearts in my tiny farmhouse. Maybe those scriptures will comfort you and speak to your heart. Blessings-
Liz, just wanted to say how much I love your home and seeing your what you do to keep it fun!! I tend to get distracted with so many pretty options in decor, but look to you to keep me focused on a style I truly love! More than the style of your home, I love your heart, it shows in all you do and all you share on your blog – such an encouragement! God bless you and Jose!
Thanks for these ideas, your posts are always so wonderful to see and helps me with my creating of my home. I feel this is a good time to redo areas in my home, for when spring comes outside i will be.
