When you walk through our front door, you’re kind of hit with the whole house at once. The stairs are directly in front of you, to your right is the living room, and to your left is the dining room
And after you close the front door, you’re surprised with this little bench tucked away into our little entry “nook”.
I live just outside of Chicago with my husband and sweet puppy, Alice. I have a passion for interior design and love sharing it with others. You too? Let's be friends!
I love your entry! The textures and warm colors are so pretty and that hidden bench is such a treat and great use of space. Love your hanging light fixture too!
I really like the layout, even though you might see it all at once it still has a cozy, charming feel to it! You’ve done a great job with the decor, thanks for inviting us in!
Thank you Amy! I love this room now, but I have some fun plans for it in the near future. I finally ordered the sofa of my dreams and I can’t wait for it to come in so I can have fun re-decorating and designing this space. I’m sure I’ll post updates here along the way, but feel free to stop by my blog http://www.rusticandwoven.com in the meantime. 🙂
Hi Tonya! I think seeing the different rooms as you walk in the door is so warm and welcoming! The neutral colors you chose for your home have such a calming effect! I love everything about it! And I really like your seating area. Very unique! Thank you for inviting us in!

Thank you Barb! My husband built that bench for us a couple of years ago and it has been a lifesaver in this house. 🙂
What a warm cozy living room! Just like I love it. You have created a charming entry and home …at least that’s the first impression I get! 🙂
Thank you for the kind words, Nancy! It’s been a lot of trial and error over the years, but it’s getting there! 🙂
Oh I LOVE your space. It looks so charming and cozy. Really sweet!
When you walk in my front door, you see the dining room, living room and kitchen all at once.

So pretty! The pendant in the entry is lovely and I would love to see more pictures of your living room!

Thank you, Maria! 🙂
Tonya this is done so nicely! The colours are very warm and beckon a friend to stay just a while longer. Love it!
Thank you, Nila! 🙂
I love it all, but that hidden bench knocks me off my feet. Love the charm and surprise of older homes.
What a gorgeous inviting home you have! It looks so cozy and homely. Thanks for sharing ☺️
