The farmhouse style community is fi lled with a
fun-loving, family-friendly and supportive bunch
of people, and we want to share about some
of the personalities that make our community
special. Meet Natalie Kolter, a wife, mom of three
and the face behind the blog and Instagram
account Vintage Porch.


American Farmhouse Style: How did you get involved in
the farmhouse style community?
Natalie: I love the old vintage style, and I think I
grew to love farmhouse along with it because of
growing up on a farm. It’s always been a part of
my life.


AFS: How would you describe your home style?
Natalie: I love vintage and rustic design mixed with
a little traditional vibe. I do love so many types of
designs, but for now, this is the style of my home.
I’ve always loved the neutral look in my home
décor; that way I can add splashes of color where
I desire and not feel overwhelmed with bold color
on my walls.


AFS: What are you doing when you’re not working on
home décor?
Natalie: I love spending time with my family.
My kids are at the age where there are constant
activities going on between school and sports.
This pretty much consumes my evenings.


AFS: What are you working on right now?
Natalie: I recently fi nished a large project in my
son’s room. It was a fun space to design, as I
haven’t designed many masculine spaces in our
home. My husband and I have always dreamed of
fi xing up an old home, so I wouldn’t be surprised if
that would happen sometime in the future.
