Happpppppy Monday good lookin’! How was your weekend? It was pretty laid back over here and mostly spent working on a few projects around the house, errands, grocery shopping, copious amounts of coffee drinking, etc. Pretty boring stuff really, but that’s ok because I kinda like boring. It seems like the older I get the more I enjoy laid back weekends at home, especially in this season of life with a three month old and two little wild indians running around. It’s just always busy, so easy-going weekends are the best. Anyway, I have a feeling the week ahead is going to be a good one and I’m excited to get it started. And I hope you are too! Today’s post is all about my simple farmhouse fall entryway. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared this space here on the blog, so I figured it was about time. Our entryway is always a bit challenging to decorate because it’s literally less than 3 feet wide, but it’s one of my favorite spots to switch up as the seasons change. I’ve spruced it up with a few fun things for fall and I’m excited to show you guys how it’s looking!
Do you guys remember this antique single alter church pew that I restored recently? I shared it all in this post if you missed it.. Well I think this was only the 3rd time in my life I didn’t paint something white and I’m still loving this natural wood. It’s such a unique little pew and it has so much history. Plus it belonged to my Granny, so it’s pretty special to me.
I have several of these schoolhouse wire baskets and they are so darn handy to have around the house. I’ve used them mostly in the playroom for toy and book storage, but they’ll work just about anywhere. I love this rusty looking yellow one. I basically just loaded it up with as many pumpkins as I could, as you can see. Easy and cute!
I think this happy fall y’all sign is perfect for the entryway. I was actually going to put it on our front porch because I have an old door out there that would make the perfect backdrop for it, but I really like it here too. I just put some twine on the back so I could hang it up.
If you ever see a little wooden stool like this one at a yard sale or thrift store make sure you scoop it up. I bought that white one at a yard sale this past summer for just a few bucks. I chalk painted it white (of course) and distressed it a bit to give it more of a vintage, farmhouse look. Well since then I’ve used it in so many spots around our home, I’ve definitely got my money out of it. I love it. And now I’m always keeping my eyes open for more little stools like this, they’re just so darn handy.
Well that’s my simple farmhouse fall entryway. I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe got a few ideas for your own entryway. Thanks for dropping in and spending part of your Monday with me!

you are so creative and such an inspiration.
Hi Sarah!
I’m kind of new to your blog but I’m hooked now! I love your style and how your personality comes through in your writing. I’ve used your suggestions and trusted your reviews on MAC eye-shadow, Mercy candles and Magnolia chalk paint and waxes. They have all been excellent choices! Thank you : )
My decorating style is more “old worldish” but I love your fresh farmhouse cozy home. It would be far too much work and expense to change designs now and my dear husband is more comfortable with dark. So I will just appreciate it from afar! Thank you again Sarah, be blessed!
That entry way is adorable and granny’s pew is amazing! Great job on the restoration! Love it all.
Oh so cute! Love it all…you sure can make the most of this small space with your layering!
Where do you store all your items from holiday to holiday or from the seasons ?
Love this!
Looks beautiful, Sarah. Inspires me to dress up a little nook I have as you walk in to My Wee Abode. š
Lovely as per usual! ššš
Is that a used white painted paint tin holding the white blooms? Snazzy idea. Your entry area looks so very welcoming.
Back to charger plates you photographed some blogs ago now. Tried many places here in Tasmania (Australia) no joy. Last week found a stack of similar plates in local discount store & snapped up half a dozen. Delighted with them. Thank you for this innovation in my house.
