An Organized Family Space

Eric and Michelle Turgeon were expecting their third child when they came across a spacious five bedroom home in Barrington. With a large backyard, family-friendly community and proximity to the beach, the Turgeons knew this was the house to raise their children in.

With a few updates and the help of Providence interior design shop Kreatelier, the Turgeons decorated their home to be livable with three kids and pets – nothing too precious or permanent. Michelle had slipcovers made in durable, outdoor fabrics in fun and playful patterns. One of the touches they added for the kids was painting the kitchen island a bright turquoise with chalkboard paint. They also made sure they had plenty of storage space. The mudroom has many hooks to hang coats, and bags and a storage bench for everything else.

As the family loves the water and they are close to the beach, they decorated their house to reflect a fun, coastal vibe. The living area has fish covered pillows on a blue couch and a painting of seaweed hangs on the wall. The storage bins even look as though they are made of fish nets. This family home is nautical and fun, and proves that smart organization can be useful and stylish.
