This post was updated HERE.
Our former home was neither fancy nor fussy and came with all sorts of cottage quirkiness. Over the years, I have identified its design style with various names, and it’s certainly not purely Modern French or Country Cottage. My style is a mix of qualities that feel comforting to me: European country inspired, coastal, under-baked, understated, spare, and serene. So, yep, depending on my mood, I may call it Modern French, Belgian or Nordic inspired. Today’s European Country French Decor at Home: Shop my Home shares favorite decor finds chosen especially for our home.
European Country French Decor in Our Renovated Home

I’m not sure why I’m so resistant to categorize the fixer upper we completely renovated which is now quite un-fixer upper like!

Our last house was a French country manse we designed that felt Old World and established, while this one is a blend since it has existing architecture (contemporary, cottage and eclectic) imagined by someone else.

When we found it, it was a neglected custom cottage with great bones on a beautiful lot swallowed up in weeds (invisible from the street!). We inherited a whole bunch of unsavory damage and design elements, and I shared messy weekly progress HERE.

This Fixer Upper Needed Love Big Time!
A sea of taupe carpet and yellow paint were everywhere with: holes in lumpy walls, 4′ wide woofers and tweeters in bathroom ceilings (#justdont), hollow-core doors, and critters in crawlspaces. Most of the hardware, faucets, and fixtures had been spray-painted white so the marketing photos didn’t look half bad. I guess the only thing worse than el-cheapo brass-plated everything is white latex painted brass-plated everything.

The exterior of our home is humble and would likely strike you as Nordic or contemporary coastal cottage. River rock accents and simple lines mean the house is not trying to show off but rather aims to tuck into the woods without a fuss. We’re sited on a woodsy lot, high on a hill which is wonderful for privacy and interest.
Country French Cottage Details
![European country cottage exterior with stone steps leading to courtyard entrance with stone wall - Hello Lovely Studio.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/european-country-cottage-exterior-stone-stairs-courtyard-hello-lovely-studio.jpg)
The fan windows are something you see in a lot of homes built in the 1990s. On a good day, they feel a little Hamptons-like, and then there are days they read ‘too granny.’ I have mostly made friends with them, imagining they are reminiscent of a chapel.
![Pale neutral Country French bedroom with Stikwood Hamptons accent wall, beadboard panel bed, and burlap throw pillows on white linens - Hello Lovely Studio.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/european-country-cottage-bedroom-hello-lovely-studio-004.jpg)
Inside, the ceiling height soars in the great room, and a cat walk floats above the center of all the main level action. The upstairs is light and airy, and the master came with a vaulted ceiling. That architectural detail packs a huge punch since even a humble country cottage master should feel like a retreat.
Lovely Nordic French Style & Statement Wall

Downstairs, a family room, bedroom, bathroom, and workshop get used by our grown children who stretch out on a leather sectional and two giant LoveSacs which were the envy of their teen friends back in the day.
Rustic European Country Style Entry

While the range of architectural elements of the home may have been hodgepodge, we aimed to integrate and calm them with: a quiet neutral palette, subtraction rather than addition, upgrades, and INTRODUCING PLENTY OF QUALITY NATURAL MATERIALS to impart substance and soul.

A Favorite French Nordic Design Element: Belgian Linen
WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT MISS IS MY PASSION FOR Belgian linen. It is everywhere since I’m unapologetic about my obsession and sprinkle it liberally since it comforts me in countless ways. This house has been a home to messy men who spill salsa, tip over red wine, splatter Bolognese sauce, and track mud on everything. As long as such everyday debris does not lie there too long, it all comes clean!
I’m crazy about the nubby texture of quality linen which is so durable and something of which I never tire.

Bright White Paint Color for Walls, Trim and Ceilings
After testing a wide range of bright white and off-white paint colors for the interiors, BENJAMIN MOORE White OC-151 was the winner and used for walls, trim, and ceilings. It has minimal undertones and got rid of the dingy and oppressive yellow haze holding back the interiors.
For a white look-alike paint to BM “White” OC-151, try BEHR Ultra White.
If you look at the BENJAMIN MOORE White paint swatch in my banner (above), you can see how much brighter and whiter it is than the warm greys surrounding it.

Knotty Alder Interior Doors
What a transformation when we upgraded the doors and installed rustic knotty alder solid wood ones. These are worth every penny and will last lifetimes!
![Rustic knotty alder door to my closet with antique painted dresser and stenciled mirror - Hello Lovely Studio.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/european-country-cottage-closet-bedroom-alder-door-hello-lovely-studio.jpg)
![Pacific Entries Knotty Alder Wood Interior Door](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/pacific-entries-knotty-alder-door.jpg)
I didn’t think twice about pairing natural wood doors with the existing white trim even though at the time, we weren’t seeing this done very often. We left the doors unstained and simply sealed them with matte poly.
Cuckoo for Cocopuffs for Door Hardware!

I’m guessing many of you are tired of seeing wood barn doors, but we added one to our lower level (where there was no door) entrance to a family/media room. Now it buffers sound a little bit when closed and provides much needed rustic architectural interest.

Hardwood Flooring: White Oak Left Natural With No Stain
The main living areas on our first floor as well as our master bedroom have 5″ wide plank, unstained white oak hardwoods with a matte sealer on top.

Wood Alternative in Secondary Bedrooms
I chose a an easy-care laminate at a shockingly low price point first floor guest bedrooms to replace cheap carpeting. One bedroom is used as my music/painting studio (Southern exposure and over-sized!). My husband installed the floor in a day, and it’s the easiest thing to wipe up paint messes!

Serene, Classic & White European Inspired Kitchen

French Nordic Cottage Style in Master Suite
Not sure I mentioned this earlier, but we did not have to buy any new furniture for this home! Our last house was so large that I donated or sold more than half of our furniture and belongings to downsize many months before we even found this fixer upper!
![Serene white French country bedroom with bench at large fan window - Hello Lovely.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/european-country-cottage-bedroom-hello-lovely-studio-002.jpg)
Our bedroom furniture has worked in four different homes now, but I refreshed it for this one by painting it BENJAMIN MOORE Revere Pewter. When you’re going for a low contrast, calming cocoon, mixing textures rather than colors is a trustworthy strategy.

Master Bath Design Elements
The master bath was quite an undertaking in terms of DIY. Everything had to go, including an enormous Jacuzzi on a raised stage, a linen closet, cabinets, shower, toilet, sinks, and flooring.

Even though it’s more typical to tear down walls in contemporary renovations, we actually had to build them for this bath since it was one, huge, unbalanced, awkward space.

The Martha Stewart sconces selected for our master bath were chosen since we needed something coastal that also reminded me of France, and this just happened to be inexpensive as well.

Thanks so much! Love the name of your site! 🙂
Michele,
You are so welcome for the feature. I just love looking at your home. It is so serene and comfy looking. Your bedroom is fabulous. You certainly changed the exterior of your home. It is always a wonderful feeling when you take something and make it beautiful and you certainly have.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs,
Bev

We actually haven’t addressed the exterior – I should explain that in the post – the images are the front, back and sides – it’s a little unusual! Thanks so much for the kindness, beautiful blogger!
What is the source for your master bedroom lamps? Thx!

Good mornin! They are Paris Iron Gate lamps (and they are huge!) from Restoration Hardware here: https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod60165. The shades are sand linen on the outside and lined with gold on the inside. Thanks for reading.
Love your Home Beautiful always.

Thank you, Marie! I appreciate your loyal readership and for your time in following!
I feel like I should whisper. shhhhh
You have amazing light where you live. It casts a soft glow on every room. The whites and soft greys, with the light coloured wood floors & doors, make a serene abode. I believe your home envelopes you in protection and peace of mind.
What comes to mind is Betty Lou Who (in her tiny little voice) when touching the Grinch’s cheek saying, “ Noooo, soft”.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Michele.
Blessings,
~Joanna

What lovely thoughts I accept as gifts for my weary heart. Thank you so so much. It has been a long day of travel to the desert where my mama has just had knee replacement. Light is so precious to me, whether it is streaming through those windows at home or painting the sky pink like it has beautifully tonight. I only want to align with it and somehow bring healing. Peace to you and yours, friend. xox
White kind of wood are the doors in your pictures above, and what is the stain color on them ?
Author
Our doors are rustic knotty alder with no stain – just a matte poly on top to seal them. Made by Pacific Entries/Barn Door Express. Thanks for reading.
OK, I just read the post about your AZ fixer upper (mentioned in this post) …I had never seen that before…amazing and commented so on it! However, your current fixer upper is also amazing! Everything you touch turns to Lovely, Michele! 😊You were such a resource and inspiration for me as we built our house (and continue to be!) and I’m ever so grateful and wanted to make sure you knew!!

Hahahaha. Our younger son keeps saying I need to make a video to help friends and folks who arrive at the blog know how to use this blog and how to find posts. So this seals it…gotta be brave and do that! Thank you for peeking at that house. It was so easy compared to this fixer upper since we didn’t do demo, and we were always more relaxed there since we did the work on vacation. We’re definitely ready for this next reno for our son – he wants no French Country so it will be interesting!
Your home and style is so beautiful, and always an inspiration! Just looking at the pictures gives me peace. I especially liked that you included the Arizona home—it is most like mine and it shows me what is possible, even in a builder grade basic home. The changes you made are so beautiful without a major renovation and tearing down everything. I really can appreciate that! Thank you for sharing and many blessings to you!

Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to visit with me here, friend. I miss that home and am ready for a new Arizona home! Will it be our forever home? I hope so! Peace to you.
