Even though this week’s episode of Unsellable Houses ended on a bit of a cliffhanger (thanks to an unexpected homemade septic system), we transformed Bonnie’s Bothell home into a French Country dream.
Here are the materials and finishes we used to bring our French Country-inspired design to life! To shop staging, décor, and artwork used in this transformation – check out our “Shop the Look” blog for this episode.

Design Inspo & Materials
Overall Design + Living Room
What we updated:
- All new interior paint on walls, trim, and ceilings throughout (Sherwin Williams, walls: SW-7008 Alabaster, trim: SW-7023 Repose Gray, ceiling: SW-7007 Bright Ceiling White)
- Refinished original hardwood floors throughout
- All new light fixtures & hardware
- Painted an accent wall to add some visual dimension and draw the eyes up towards to soaring vaulted ceilings
Kitchen + Dining Room
What we updated:
- Painted accent brick in the kitchen to make it pop and match the new wall in the living room for cohesion
- To make the dated stack stone fireplace pop and feel more modern French country, we added a custom mantel, an accent wallpaper, and we DIY’d a German Schmear–a centuries old technique!
