#AD let’s take a closer look at these two bathroom renovations #dwelloctoberstudio created exclusively using new @loweshomeimprovement products. the two bathrooms feature different vanities, mirrors, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, yet both have a relaxing, elegant feel. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKHome
#AD we're excited to share the finished renovation of the first of two bathroom designs #dwelloctoberstudio is creating featuring brand new @loweshomeimprovement products. when designing this bathroom, our goal was to create an elegant space reminiscent of a spa. to accomplish this, we started by selecting a beautiful sea green vanity as the focal point of the design. we paired the vanity with a curved wood mirror and brushed gold transitional wall sconces. the gold is carried throughout the rest of the room, including the plumbing fixtures and accessories, as well as the floor tile, which is a large format porcelain tile with gray and gold veining. we completed the look with simple white subway tile on the walls, a jute rug with a metallic pattern, and a white hydrangea faux flower arrangement to add warmth and sophistication to the room. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder100
#AD we're thrilled to reveal the finished renovation of the second bathroom design #dwelloctoberstudio created featuring brand new @loweshomeimprovement products. when designing this bathroom, we were inspired by the gorgeous cornflower blue vanity and used this as the focal point of the room. we love its clean lines and classic coastal feel. we paired the vanity with a more organically-shaped wavy gold mirror and a fluted glass and gold sconce. modern brushed nickel plumbing fixtures and bathroom accessories add contrast to the gold finishes, while tying in with the vanity cabinet hardware. both the gold and nickel tones are reflected in the porcelain floor tile with its bold marble-inspired veining. simple white subway tile provides a clean, classic look for the shower walls. a woven jute accent rug with a chevron pattern and a pretty hydrangea floral arrangement add a bit of texture and warmth to the space. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

#AD we're excited to share this affordable bathroom refresh #dwelloctoberstudio recently designed for a local apartment owner. for this project, we teamed up with @loweshomeimprovement, exclusively using @loweshomeimprovement products to transform the bathroom. this apartment did not have a lot of existing character to work with, so we opted for a darker, moody aesthetic to make the space feel warmer and more welcoming. our goal was to choose more durable higher quality materials that would withstand the test of time as this is a rental, all while keeping the renovation budget in check. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50
#AD and now it's time for the after! for this project, #dwelloctoberstudio teamed up with @loweshomeimprovement, exclusively using @loweshomeimprovement products to transform a bathroom for a local apartment owner, all on a budget. we were inspired by this beautiful mauve paint color. we applied vertical shiplap paneling to the lower half of the walls to add texture and visual interest. to balance out the pink, we opted for darker tones when selecting tile and vanity, then added a touch of brushed brass for warmth. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

taking a look back at the #mixedusemini in all its glory! this charming two bedroom apartment offers #dwelloctoberstay guests a true Old Town Marblehead experience. situated on the second floor above a jewelry shop, this cozy hideaway was inspired by Marblehead's nautical history, while still retaining all the modern conveniences today's travelers desire. #dwelloctober #LTKHome
today we’re sharing the exterior transformation of the #mixedusemini! when we first purchased the property, it had been vacant for some time and was in need of serious TLC. in addition to new windows, we painted the exterior white for a fresh, clean look and selected a bold turquoise for the shutters and doors, aiming to create a summery, welcoming feeling. natural wood window boxes and a galvanized metal gooseneck sconce add curb appeal and help designate the first floor as a retail space, while the second floor serves as a #dwelloctoberstay short term rental unit perfect for a coastal getaway. #dwelloctober #LTKHome
because the tile and tub serve as such bold design elements in this small bathroom space, we kept things simple with the vanity at the #mixedusemini. a minimal white oak vanity occupies the corner of the room and is topped with durable white quartz. we also added a small marble shelf for extra storage. a vintage milk glass-style oval mirror, conical sconce, and brass faucet complete the space. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober #LTKHome

#AD we're excited to share this affordable apartment kitchen design #dwelloctoberstudio recently created for a local apartment owner. for this project, we teamed up with @loweshomeimprovement, exclusively using @loweshomeimprovement products to update a small kitchen. the beautiful gray cabinets were the focal point of this design. we selected a gray and white marble-inspired countertop, matte black cabinet handles, and a sleek black faucet for a modern look. best of all, this design was budget-friendly and could be implemented quickly using products stocked in store. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome

the original living room at the #preppyhollowhouse had a lot of great features to work with: vaulted ceilings, double windows, and a fireplace. to maximize the space and let more light in, we removed a wall that divided the living room and kitchen. we also removed the dated fan-shaped window and gave the fireplace a facelift with a new surround and lots of fresh white paint. a vintage rattan couch and loveseat balance out the white, while green gingham upholstery adds a pop of color. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober #LTKHome
first up is the primary bedroom at the #preppyhollowhouse! we love this cheerful combination of hydrangea wallpaper from @riflepaperco paired with soft green paint for the trim and wall paneling…hydrangeas are a Cape Cod classic! a rattan headboard, vintage nightstands, and green sconces complete the look. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober #LTKHome
new year, new project! we’re excited to share our most recent renovation, the #preppyhollowhouse, a single-family house on Cape Cod that we recently launched as a short-term vacation rental. before we dive into the transformation, we thought we’d reintroduce ourselves. we’re Elizabeth & Lindsay, the two sisters who make up Dwell October. like many of you here, we love all things interior design and real estate. #dwelloctober #LTKHome

despite being a foreclosure, this #dwelloctoberrealestate mid-century modern fixer-upper had great bones and was just in need of some TLC. the floor plan flowed really nicely throughout the house and all of the rooms were a great size, so #dwelloctoberstudio kept the original layout exactly the same. in the living room, the old leaking windows were switched out for modern black ones, the wall to wall carpeting was removed, and the original hardwood floors were refinished to showcase their natural beauty. a custom-built wood divider creates separation between the front entry and the living room and accentuates mid-century modern feel. #dwelloctober #LTKhome
sometimes less is more. #dwelloctoberstudio gave this fireplace a makeunder by removing the stone veneer and traditional wood mantel and replacing it with a modern, minimalist dark stone surround. the wood burning fireplace was converted to gas and features ceramic fire spheres. #dwelloctoberrealestate #dwelloctober #LTKhome

our goal with this #dwelloctoberstudio design project was to update a '90s builder grade home with lighter, brighter finishes that had a classic, yet modern feel. the living room was a long, rectangular space that had historically proved challenging to find a cohesive furniture layout. to remedy this, we added custom built-in bookcases and a more substantial mantel to make the fireplace the focal point of the room and create character in the home that looked as if it had always existed. new windows, light oak hardwood floors, and fresh white paint transformed the room into an inviting place to relax and unwind. #dwelloctober #LTKhome
with this #dwelloctoberstudio design project, we made the decision to open up the wall that divided the kitchen and formal dining room and create one large open space for eating and entertaining. the traditional dining table is perfect for family dinners and holiday meals, while the peninsula offers a more casual seating option. stay tuned to see the remodeled kitchen! #dwelloctober #LTKhome
not all room updates have to incorporate major changes to have a dramatic impact. for this bedroom refresh with #dwelloctoberstudio, we made simple cosmetic updates, but kept the floor plan the same to create a big impact. the result was a tranquil and modern bedroom space. #dwelloctober #LTKhome

when it comes to designing bedrooms, we often like to keep the finishes simple in order to introduce color and pattern through furniture and textiles. in the primary bedroom at the #goldengirlscondo, we opted for plain white walls and brought in lots of bold colors and textures through the bedding and artwork. #dwelloctober #LTKhome
have you ever considered converting a standard tub/shower combo into a walk in shower? we made this decision in the primary bath at the #goldengirlscondo to make the unit more accessible and functional for everyday life. we loved this pink starburst pattern cement tile so much that we added it to the outside walls of the shower as well to make even more of a statement. the faux terrazzo tile used on the floor is the perfect complement and adds a bit of texture and sparkle to the space. #dwelloctober #LTKhome
never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of white paint! can you believe that this is the same space? when updating the living room at the #goldengirlscondo, we removed the old bookshelves, allowing the black metal windows to serve as the focal point of the room. next, we painted the walls with our favorite white, @benjaminmoore Chantilly Lace, and swapped out the wood floors for a modern epoxy finish. these simple cosmetic changes completely transformed the space. #dwelloctober #LTKhome
