""This is our first home together as a blended family. I really wanted it to look and feel special for everyone," Cheylene writes. "When designing the rooms, I kept three things in mind: Keep it durable (a must with three boys!), keep it thrifty (we didn't want to spend too much), and keep it FUN. It's all still a work in progress, but we feel very much at home here.""
""I've worked in tech my whole career, but am a creative spirit at heart," she continues. "I love taking different colors, patterns, style, and textures, and trying to blend them all into a cohesive space. The house's strong architecture serves as such a great anchor, I feel like you could do pretty much anything in here, and it would look good.""
The 1,879-square-foot townhouse underwent a year-and-a-half renovation to update late-1990s/early-2000s finishes and create a family-friendly home. Bedrooms previously featured lilac, orange creamsicle, and lime green; the entryway had textured walls and the kitchen had glossy forest-green cabinets with faux yellow brick. The household includes a blended family with three boys and a cockapoo, prompting durable, thrifty, and playful design choices. The renovation favors Arts & Crafts influences, mixing traditional architectural anchors with colorful accents, murals, patterned textures, and budget-friendly materials. Selected finishes include Dulux Indigo, COAT Paints hues, a Dunelm mural, Claybrook Tile backsplash, and DC Fix cabinet wrap.
