What do you do when you want an eye popping entry way? Read this post and we will show you!
We have an entry way with no snazzy fixings...so ...we fixed it by adding an eye popping barnwood inspired Distressed wood wall in to the niche' and trey ceiling just inside our doors.
This artisan Barnwood created for us special @Restyle Junkie, a local wood artisan shop, helped us bring our entry to life. We started by measuring our studs, marking them and then cutting the wood to the length necessary for install.
We continued adding the Barnwood by staggering it up to the top of the niche' ceiling.
Once all the wood was staggered we used our table saw to create the last row of wood to perfectly fit.
But, we did not stop there. I looked up seeing the trey ceiling. Quickly calculating the square footage, I ran to the shop to see if I could stretch the artisan barnwood we had left to complete the trey.
Once we finished both the trey ceiling and the niche', we completed the look by adding our Homegood and TJMaxx finds. The art is special as it's our favorite place to visit in St Louis - The Nathan Frank Band Stand on Pagoda Island - St Louis
Just look at the beauty! You know you want to know where we got the wood!
The unlikable entry way has become our favorite spot in our home. The way the wood matches our decor is pure awesome!!!

    I came to hometalk looking to see if my idea has been done and you did it! I have REAL barnwood, enough to finally do the whole wall in the living room. Granted, that wall has 4 windows, a door and a 4x8 sheet of Hardie board behind the wood stove. I'll be doing a lot of ripping and cutting. The rest of the walls are 1x12 pine with a V along the edge nailed down vertical. I plan on installing my barnwood vertical, too.
