Go for a less traditional Dutch door for an inviting entry. Bonus points: This is a great way to get an extra breeze in the house, without risking your pets running out!

Reclaimed wood furniture (Can you believe this table is made from an old butcher block?) and barn doors can give any room a country vibe.
