Get the Look: The Club House French Kitchen on Fixer Upper

It’s the kitchen and sunroom to which we’ll turn our attention in today’s French Farmhouse Decor on Fixer Upper: Get the Look! The Club House Kitchen & Sun Room. This part of the French country renovation of a Texas family home known as The Club House was truly dramatic indeed. The kitchen went from being totally forgettable and cramped to lofty, luxurious, and dare I say, architecturally wondrous. If you’re a fan of HGTV’s Fixer Upper (Season 5, Episode 11), the resources and design ideas here are destined to thrill!

But first.

I have been sharing clips of the clean comedy comedienne Christianee Porter with you for years, and it is her choir directing character Shirleen who is my favorite. I consider her a friend and have said it before, but if you don’t like Shirleen, I just can’t hear it! She has the best quips (Worry ’bout yourself! Be blocked and be blessed!). If you didn’t grow up in the church, you’ll probably still appreciate the humor because of Christi’s talent. But if you did!?! Watch a little of last night’s livestream:

Country French Farmhouse White With White Oak Kitchen

The original kitchen in this home felt cramped and dated, but no more! Joanna Gaines gave the homeowners architectural interest by vaulting the ceiling and adding white oak beams which match the flooring. The palette is quiet and understated, and a unique hutch with glass doors connects the kitchen with the sunroom and allows natural light to flow into the space.

There are plenty of rustic design elements including the natural wood on the island and counter stools, the distressed white French country chandelier, and the ceiling beams. However, the kitchen feels elegant and pretty since the color story is restrained and serene.

To get the look, I shopped for pieces that work together for a French inspired mix of decor, furniture, and lighting that won’t break the bank.

Country French Farmhouse Style Kitchen Bridge Faucet

Even though the faucet incorporated into The Club House kitchen design is a simple more modern fixture, my vision for a French inspired kitchen involves a bridge faucet. The option below is well priced and available in a brushed nickel finish I favor as well as warm brass.

Vintage French Bread Boards

These beautiful rustic boards would be right at home in The Club House kitchen…in fact, we see them just around the corner in the sun room which we will turn our attention to later in this post as well.

Farmhouse French Style Wood Kitchen Counter Stool Ideas

I found several options to get the look of our inspiration kitchen from Fixer Upper, and since there is no need to copy the exact stools, you’ll notice I found a few that are slightly less rustic and might work if small children with messy paws aren’t lurking about.

I actually favor these options more than our inspiration stools!

This is one of my favorite options for an upholstered French country linen counter stool:

Another less pricey option is this very simple stool which would work in any number of kitchen designs.

Exact Ivory Tea Kettle in The Club House Kitchen

Here’s a lovely accessory to score, and it’s the exact pretty tea kettle you see on this episode of Fixer Upper!

Natural Woven Rug Runner

In the inspiration kitchen, there are numerous design moments with natural wood finishes, and another way to bring that into almost any kitchen is with a jute rug or runner.

Light Grey Kitchen Towels

These neutral towels are similar to the ones seen in this French country kitchen on the show and work with almost any color palette.

Whimsical & Rustic Glazed Mugs by Rae Dunn

This next kitchen decor idea comes straight from my own white country kitchen. I have collected lovely Rae Dunn pieces since the artist made each piece by hand back in her San Francisco studio, and now that they are mass produced, it’s easy to afford her designs!

Get the Look of The Club House Sun Room

The sun room in the French country renovation is my favorite room from this whole project! Warm terracotta floors, a gorgeous not-too-fussy fireplace, deconstructed linen upholstered chairs, vintage accessories, and a casual dining table and chairs add up to a whole lotta cozy, with easy access to the beautiful kitchen on the other side of the glass cabinet.

Modern Rustic Planter & Stand

Although this particular planter is not in the actual design from Fixer Upper, I think it is in the same spirit and would be interesting in the mix.

The Perfect Accent Table!

Tribal Artisan Style Pillows

This first pillow suggestion is designed by Joanna Gaines, and you may recall she piled these on the built-in bench in the dining area of the sun room.

Slim Black Iron Candleholders on Mantel

This first option looks to be the exact candleholder in our inspiration room.

French Inspired Rustic Baskets for Storage in a Sun Room

These options for rustic French baskets are tempting indeed since they would work in any number of rooms where you need a solution for corralling all the things!

Sweet Doormat for Setting a Casual Tone

For not-so-fancy and unfussy homes full of warmth and charm, this little welcome mat may be just the ticket.

Here’s that kitchen mood board again, and I hope you will pin it to spread the design love since it’s a great look even if you haven’t seen this episode yet and just need a neutral farmhouse mood to jumpstart a design plan.

Thinking Back to the 1970s

Growing up, I was a white-privileged poor girl immersed in racially diverse communities. Some of the loveliest years of my childhood were spent as a preacher’s daughter with beautiful Black girlfriends at “that Black Salvation Army church” on the South Side of Chicago in the 70’s.

My parents never had a conversation with us about race or colorblindness or how we might feel less at home in a predominantly Black congregation. If they felt any anxiety about it, they never once modeled it. My Black girlfriends came over to play and for weekend sleepovers but wouldn’t invite me to their homes (the projects) because they said it was too unsafe.

I struggled to understand their fear of “getting shot” on my racially mixed block when we wanted to play kick the can or sardines outside after sunset. They flatly refused to go out at night and would not ever change their minds.

It’s 2020. We all can do better, right where we are, to liberate each other and become an anti-racist people. Every neighborhood should be safe for Black girls and boys to play tag, jog, ride bikes, shoot squirt guns, and wear hoodies without getting murdered.
