#AD it's time to reveal the transformation of the #dwelloctoberstudio church to condo revival balcony! we teamed up with @Lowe's to convert this underutilized space into an outdoor oasis just in time for spring. all of the products we used are available @Lowe's and prove that it's possible to create a chic outdoor space when working with a limited budget. when designing this space, we were inspired by a neutral striped outdoor rug and used it as the backdrop for a cozy seating area featuring a black metal bistro set. next, we introduced a lot of greenery into the space using cement-look planters filled with an olive tree, rubber tree, as well as a railing planter with boxwoods and candytuft flowers. rattan lanterns and black-and-white geometric throw pillows finish off the space with a cozy feeling. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober

that's a wrap on the #preppyhollowhouse! this cheerful three bedroom home offers #dwelloctoberstay guests the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a classic Cape Cod summer. filled with bright colors, bold patterns, and retro details, stepping into this house feels like taking a breath of fresh air. #dwelloctober

#AD spring is in the air, which means we are thinking ahead to refreshing outdoor spaces in anticipation of the weather warming up. we're in the midst of the planning stages of the #dwelloctoberstudio church to condo revival project and are excited to update the balcony space with products from @Lowe's. we love sourcing outdoor products from @Lowe's as they are a one-stop destination for everything you need to get your home ready for spring. @Lowe's offers a wide range of price points, making it easy to achieve a polished look on a budget and make a big impact without a huge investment. with this project, we're planning to use a neutral outdoor rug, black metal bistro set, and stone-inspired planters to make small, approachable changes that will lead to a dramatic improvement of the outdoor space. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober

located off the main hallway, the guest bathroom at the #preppyhollowhouse was an interior bathroom, meaning that it had no windows and therefore, no natural light. as a result, we aimed to create a bold and bright design full of color in order to give the space a playful personality. we opted for green penny tile on the floors and simple white field tile on the walls, but used coral grout to make a statement. brushed gold plumbing fixtures, a console sink, and a wavy wooden wall mirror give the space a colorful, cheerful feel. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#AD we're excited to kick off a new #dwelloctoberstudio project, a church to condo revival, where we'll be refreshing a historic one bedroom condo in downtown Salem that was originally built as a church. as this renovation is on a tight timeline in order to capitalize on the busy spring real estate market, we're planning to use @Wayfair products for the redesign. @Wayfair has such a wide variety of home improvement products in stock and ships with lightning speed! for this project, we were inspired by a chic Parisian apartment and are planning to use rich, moody colors, dark wood tones, and brass accents. today, we're sharing our design for the bathroom renovation, which will include large format marble-look porcelain wall tile, plum hexagon mosaic floor tile, a dark wood vanity, and brushed brass plumbing and lighting fixtures. stay tuned to see how the renovation turns out! #Wayfair #WayfairPartner #dwelloctober

while we love a classic blue and white color scheme, one of our favorite tricks is to introduce a third color to keep things from feeling too on the nose. inspired by a beautiful hydrangea print wallpaper from @riflepaperco, we created a custom shade of green paint to use for the trim, doors, and even some of the furniture in the primary bedroom at the #preppyhollowhouse. wide plank white oak hardwood floors and woven wood window shades add natural texture to the space. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

getting up close and personal with the living room at the #preppyhollowhouse! let's take a closer look at some of the details in the space, from the bold blue étagère stacked with vintage book-inspired board games to the faux bamboo console featuring a milk glass lamp with a handmade striped shade...and let's not forget the portrait of JFK on the beach! #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

let's have a moment of appreciation for these quirky vintage dog needlepoints that grace one of the guest rooms at the #preppyhollowhouse. as soon as we saw them, we knew that the colors would be perfect for this project. they are definitely one of our favorite vintage friends to date! #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#LTKHome

one of our favorite things about designing short-term rentals is the opportunity to make bolder choices than when designing homes that we live in everyday. for the kitchen at the #preppyhollowhouse, we opted for bold coral cabinets, then added subtle green and white star-patterned cement backsplash tile, and brushed gold plumbing fixtures. we love the cheerful, welcoming feeling this combination creates and hope it sets the tone for a fun vacation as soon as our guests walk through the door. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

we love this sweet little corner in one of the guest rooms at the #preppyhollowhouse. a coat of coral paint transformed a vintage reeded cabinet into a perfect storage spot for guests. a brass and smoked glass mirror coordinates with the metal pulls on the cabinet and white hydrangeas add a classic Cape Cod touch! #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

this bedroom at the #preppyhollowhouse may be small, but it has a lot of personality thanks to the pretty green paint and shell wallpaper. vintage wood furniture adds contrast, while a white metal spindle bed coordinates with the shell wallpaper. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#AD birthday season is around the corner! we don't know about you, but we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate this time of year. we love this adorable birthday cake pillow and crown from @OEUF LLC. one of our favorite things about Oeuf products is that they are made with high-quality, sustainable materials, like this 100% alpaca yarn, and feature beautiful craftsmanship. these products will stand the test of time for years to come, unlike disposable party supplies.

sharing a few tried and true @Etsy finds that we've used in our coastal vacation rental.

#LTKHome

it may be cold and snowy out here in New England, but we are dreaming of warm summer days spent at the #preppyhollowhouse, enjoying a classic Cape Cod summer. when updating the exterior, we removed the small deck on the back of the house and replaced it with a brick patio perfect for outdoor dining and grilling. we also switched out the existing sliding glass door for a regular exterior door, which allowed us to gain a bit more storage space in the kitchen. the private backyard offers plenty of space for outdoor games. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#LTKHome

when designing the bedrooms at the #preppyhollowhouse, we wanted to give each room its own distinct personality, all while maintaining a cohesive look throughout the house. we chose to use the same green trim paint in each bedroom, but selected different wallpaper for each space. the colorful striped wallpaper used for this room reminded us of sunny days spent playing croquet or tennis. a vintage faux bamboo bedroom set balances out the pastel colors and grounds the space. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#LTKHome

the kitchen turned out to be the most dramatic transformation at the #preppyhollowhouse. first, we removed the wall between the kitchen and living room to create one large open-concept space, then we vaulted the ceiling in the kitchen area to create symmetry and add volume. the existing kitchen felt dark and dated, so we introduced lots of color, using bright coral cabinets and a green star-patterned cement tile for the backsplash. we also added an island with additional storage and space for dining, as well as some white oak open shelving. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

getting organized for 2026.

there's just something about this bathroom that gives us that squeaky clean feeling! when redesigning the primary bathroom at the #preppyhollowhouse, we knew that we wanted to convert the existing tub into a walk-in shower and incorporate blue and white striped tile. we love how the light green trim paint offers a fresh take on a classic color scheme. blue and white floral hexagon tile, a white oak vanity, blue sconce, and vintage mirror add the finishing touches to this light and airy bathroom. #dwelloctoberstay #dwelloctober

#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

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

#AD let’s take a closer look at these two bathroom renovations #dwelloctoberstudio created as a design challenge exclusively using new @Lowe's products. the two bathrooms feature different vanities, mirrors, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, yet both have a relaxing, elegant feel. #LowesPartner #dwelloctober

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
