French Country Bathroom Makeover

French Country Bathroom Makeover www.atthepicketfence.com

So, is it French Country or Country French? Do you know? Is there a difference?

I mean, I don’t want to be going around saying the wrong thing! It would be like all those years I was singing along to certain Aerosmith songs and didn’t know (or understand) the lyrics until one day it was pointed out to me that I had been singing them wrong.

How embarrassing! And eye-opening! 😉

Yesterday I shared with you how I made my peace with burlap when I added this Burlap Vanity Skirt to our downstairs bathroom.

And now I’m thrilled to be sharing with you the rest of this space.

It’s come a long way!

Wallpaper in a small, dark room like this can have such a dramatic impact.

Unless it’s ugly. Then it’s dramatic for all the wrong reasons.

This room had very ugly wallpaper in it when we first moved in. When we attempted to take it down, we realized that it had been attached to walls which had never been properly finished and the walls started peeling right along with the ugly wallpaper.

It wasn’t in our budget to have someone come in and re-finish the walls so we did the next best thing. Put up more wallpaper!

I love my yellow damask wallpaper. I know it’s not for everyone but everyone doesn’t live here.

This leads me to my next question for you.

Do you say “damask” with the emphasis on the “da” or the “mask”?

I never know so I tend to alternate between the two. Although if I alternate between the two within the same sentence the person I’m talking with will look at me like I’m a crazy person.

I get that a lot.

Since my daughter still can’t quite reach the faucet a stool is a necessity in this bathroom. I gave a basic white wooden stool a makeover with paint and a darling graphic courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.

It looks very French Country, don’t you think? Or does it look very Country French? 😉

Having a full bathroom downstairs is truly a blessing since we often have guests staying with us and the adjoining office often does double duty as a guest room. The bathroom also connects to a hallway off the family room in a “Jack and Jill” style.

I can never find shower curtains that I really like so I always end up using regular curtains. These were yet another great TJ Maxx find!

Oh wait! See that magazine peeking out from the basket?? Does that answer my first question? I mean, this is my most favorite magazine so shouldn’t I go by what it says?

Now, I’m even more confused!

Oh well, I guess it really doesn’t matter whether it’s Country French or French Country, right?

I mean, when I look back at how far this bathroom has come all that matters is that it doesn’t look like this anymore!

This is the only Before picture I could find of this space. It was taken when we first toured the house.

Can you see the reflection of the rest of the bathroom in the mirror?

I guess whether it’s French Country or Country French isn’t that important after all.

All that matters is that it is much improved and I LOVE it!

    Vanessa, that is a lovely lovely bathroom! and you are so right – everyone doesn’t live there – YOU do! I have had to remind myself of that fact a few times throughout my journey with my home decor! I have family and friends who just do not get the all white thing and they about break out in hives when I paint wood! But I like painted wood so painted wood it is 🙂 Now if I can just convince my husband that the oak china hutch will be SO much more lovely in white – heehee!
    oh yes, I usually call it French Country but I thing Country French must mean the same thing. and I never know how to say damask either. I like DA-mask. But I did an online pronunciation once and they said it DAM-ask. Sigh. English is a hard language! Have a great weekend!

    I totally put the emphasis on the mask part of damask, but I have no idea if that’s right. Also, I really really hate damask and it gives me icky feelings for some reason. But I actually like it in yellow! What do you know? I learned something today!

    I love your damask wallpaper! I say dam’ ask with the emphasis on the first syllable–don’t know if that’s correct, but I like the way it sounds! I’ve always said “French country,” too, but maybe we should go with the magazine on that! 🙂

    Anyway, your bathroom looks super!

    I absolutely adore this bathroom! I love everything about it. The wallpaper is actually my favorite part of it too. I like subtle wall coverings and yours is just that. Great choice! I like that you made it less formal by adding the burlap skirt to the vanity too. I spy the basket we share as well. I love it being used to hold magazines! Hadn’t thought to do that. I have another one in my powder room on the back of the toilet holding a plant. I liked my one so much that I went back for another one (that you saw in my bedroom).

    I love it and would love it in my house. You’ve inspired me.
    We had the same issue with wallpaper in the powder room stuck to the wall. We solved it the same way, but that was a while ago, and I would like a different look. The damask appeals to me! (I emphasize the first syllable… otherwise it sounds like da mask, as in “put on da mask, we’re holding up the bank.” )

    And I laughed about the lyrics. Oh yes. I did that too. Thought the song “Night Moves” was “Diet Food.” No, it didn’t make any sense. I sang it anyway.

I’m never.going.back to stressful, time-consumin I’m never.going.back to stressful, time-consuming seasonal decorating. When I think back on the years where I would feel all of the pressure to come up with something fresh and creative I’m seriously embarrassed. Truly. Because it was such a waste. A waste of my time, my energy, my resources. Something clicked with me a few years ago. I was just done. I needed to simplify. I needed to not spend an obscene amount of time looking at fireplace mantels on Pinterest and trying to figure out how to make mine look amazing. I needed to put it all in the proper place in my heart and my mind. Which meant, it had to go waaaaayyyy down on the priority list. So far down it almost wasn’t on it. And I needed to confess to the Lord that I had allowed it to become an idol. 

Yes, I want to have a home that I enjoy. Yes, I love pretty things. But something really amazing happened when I finally released it all. When I decided to not give into the pressure and panic I would feel when I would scroll through my Instagram feed. When I just laid it all down and said…enough. There was this incredible irony in it. Because, the less time I took to decorate my home for each season, the more I found myself loving the results. I think that all along I had just been getting in my own way. It’s really taken a lot of time and prayer for me to finally be at a place where even though I still struggle with insecurities and I still have doubts from time to time, I’m becoming increasingly more confident in who God created me to be. And, just like my home, I’m finding that as I relax into myself, letting go of the comparisons and the pressure, the more I can actually lean into the calling He has placed on my life. 🍂

“As the alluring song of September begins to whi “As the alluring song of September begins to whisper in my ear, my passionate spirit yearns for the splendor of its promise.” (Peggy Toney Horton)

Happy September dear friends! While I’m not quite ready to let go of summer and I plan to make the most out of the lingering, warm days, I’ll admit to starting to think about my fall decor this year. And one way to get inspired is to take a look back at previous years. Here’s just a glimpse at some of the ways I’ve welcomed Autumn to my home! 🍂

#september #falldecorating #falldecor #falldecoratingideas #wearethehomemakers
Labor Day weekend might mean that we’re turning Labor Day weekend might mean that we’re turning the corner and getting closer to fall but I’m not quite ready to let summer go. So I’ll just be over here continuing to whip up some super simple summer meals for my family that frankly can be enjoyed in any season. These shrimp rolls I made the other night were definitely a hit and would be great for any of your upcoming holiday weekend gatherings!

Shrimp Rolls 🍤

Ingredients
1-2 lbs of shrimp that is peeled, deveined and tail off (If using frozen make sure it’s thawed completely)
1/3 cup mayonnaise 
1/2 of a lemon
2 Tbsps chopped scallions
1 Tbsp chopped dill
1 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
1 Tsp of Old Bay seasoning (more if you like!)
pinch of sea salt and pinch of black pepper
Hoagie Rolls
Softened butter

Directions: Gently pat the shrimp with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Roughly chop the shrimp and place in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, squeeze half of lemon and stir to combine before adding in the scallions, dill and parsley. Stir to combine and then add the additional seasonings. Spread butter on hoagie rolls and toast in the oven until lightly browned. Pile on the shrimp mixture and enjoy!

Today has been a very Monday-ish kind of Monday. W Today has been a very Monday-ish kind of Monday. We woke up to the sound of chainsaws and rushed downstairs to find that our backyard neighbors were having two of the huge trees that line our shared fence removed. These trees have been here longer than the neighborhood and no, they weren't dead or causing damage to roofs, foundations, etc. They were beautiful and gave us wonderful privacy. We had no notice of this happening so this came as quite a shock. Because we were given no notice, we didn't have the chance to cover our outdoor furniture or plants and everything is now coated in a thick layer of sawdust including the fresh bark we recently put in the garden beds. And now our lovely privacy is gone, replaced by a direct view of an above ground pool and RV. I know, I know, it's totally a first world, privileged kind of problem to have. But, now we have to spend thousands of dollars on plants to try and recapture some semblance of privacy. Now we have days worth of clean up to do after we had JUST done a massive freshening up of our backyard. My overarching feeling has just been weariness at the way our world is today.

I think about how often we try to do right by people, to be respectful and courteous. To be thoughtful and considerate. And it’s not reciprocated. How its starting to seem more and more like people have just given up on those seemingly small niceties. And my soul just feels heavy. Because I feel like so much of what used to be common courtesy is not so common anymore. Drivers on the roads are angrier and more reckless than ever before. Red lights being run are an everyday occurrence around town. On our recent family vacation, I heard more people using the F word out in public than ever before even while around children. Where are manners? Where is kindness? I'm finding myself being surprised when someone is thoughtful because it seems like a rarity. And that's just all on a micro, local level. Don't even get me started on the insanity in our world/culture. After I returned from grocery shopping (which can also be soul crushing), I found myself desperate for a reminder of the truth. 

*Part 2 continued in the comments.*
How often is it in our lives that we don’t fully How often is it in our lives that we don’t fully grasp our strengths or our weaknesses until we are put to the test? Little did I know how much I would love my role as a wife, mother and homemaker until I became one. And that in my endeavor to do those roles to the best of my ability, it would bring to the forefront gifts and talents and blessings that I use outside of these walls.

As I water others, I’m watered too because it brings such joy to care for those around me. But it can also make me see more clearly the areas in which I’m lacking and be a very humbling reminder of how much I still need to grow and learn.

Proverbs 11:25 says, “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched and one who waters will himself be watered.”

Have you done any ‘watering’ of others this week? How has it blessed and ‘watered’ you in return?
“Mom, this is one of my favorite meals that you “Mom, this is one of my favorite meals that you make.” Statements like this from my kids fill me with so much joy and such a sense of assurance that my role as the maker of this home is one that makes an impact on them in both big and small ways. It’s not just sheet pan shrimp boil. 

It’s nourishment
It’s time together around the table
It’s laughing as we try to get the butter sauce out of the pan
It’s a memory
It’s an imprint on their lives 

The ordinary act of making a meal becomes EXTRAordinary. And I try to keep that in mind as I do this task day in and day out, year after year. 

***

Ingredients: 
1 pound baby red or yellow potatoes
Green beans or corn (4 ears cut in half) whichever you prefer
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt and pinch of black pepper 
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (12.8-ounce) package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
Crusty bread for dipping 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes until just tender, about 10 minutes. Put potatoes, shrimp, sausage and green beans or corn on baking sheet. Pour butter over top. Sprinkle with old bay seasoning and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Bake for about 12 minutes or until shrimp is pink.

In music, rhythm is a regular repetition or a grou In music, rhythm is a regular repetition or a grouping of beats. No matter what else a piece of music has in terms of its pitch or tone, the rhythm never changes. Its the stabilizing force and brings order to a composition that would be completely chaotic without it.

The same can be said of rhythms in our lives and in our homes. When everything else feels out of control, rhythms and patterns provide us with stability and something that we can rely upon to give us a sense of security in a very insecure world. But, too often, we associate the rhythmic things we do in our lives as merely tasks to be gotten through rather than gifts which provide much-needed balance.
