French-Country Makeover

Designer Carolyn Walker Davis brightens up a dark, uninviting home with a complete French country-style makeover.

First, the house is painted a cheerful yellow from its drab gray color.

Next, a playful trellis is added to the side of the massive chimney to take away its heavy appearance next to the front door.

The dark wooden door is painted a bright white, and ornate French country-style porch lamps are hung by the door.
