hen Marynn and Jeff Udvarhelyi stumbled upon a Cape Cod-style cottage in Temecula, California, they were drawn in by the picturesque yet regionally unexpected façade and sold by the interior layout for equally unique reasons. While the four bedrooms were ideal for the couple and their two daughters, especially the first-floor primary bedroom—something they wanted in the forever home they would grow old in—the rest of the 1989 residence needed thoughtful reconfiguration. This was a project Marynn, the self-taught designer and passionate DIY-er behind blog, was ready and willing to take on.
