The last time our main bathroom was painted, was when we gave it a big makeover in  2012-ish. At the time, white walls were starting to come into their own, and lights grays and blues were also starting to slowly creep their way in, as everyone moved away from the traditional tans and reds. We had just put in a new floor under duress (leaking potty), and picked everything on the fly, including floor tile, and paint colors. Lately, I'd noticed the walls were starting to look a bit dingy, and I was just ready for it to be updated. I had envisioned our light space darker, as a bathroom makeover with dark green-blue walls. Part of the makeover would also mean it was time to change out the towel bars, and shower curtain. Our lighting is going to wait a  little while, I'll share that with you when I find it. There was a little prep beforehand to fill and spackle the old towel bar holes, and some scrubbing and wall cleaning. With all girls, there are a lot of hair products flying ar...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in one of LandVest's properties? We invite our owners to tell us a bit about their experience, what they love about their homes and a bit of their history. 108 Shore Road , on Chatham's Gold Coast, is just minutes from Chatham Village. Below, we share a few things that we love about this property. On early summer mornings we love fishing for striped bass from our stone steps that lead directly into Chatham Harbor. We will also kayak, paddle board, swim, or just relax and watch the seals swim by from this spot. We love walking just down the street to the Chatham Bars Inn for early evening cocktails on their front porch. We love our amazing views! The sun rising over the Atlantic in early morning or the fog rolling across Chatham Harbor in the late afternoon can be spectacular. On summer evenings one of our favorite things to do is walk down Main Street to the Chatham A's field and watch a Cape Cod League Baseball Game. On ...

It's Christmas as the studio! Since we can't put life on hold, let's ignore the unfinished projects and enjoy a festive look at the holiday cheer in a mostly finished space. A place where we share DIY home ideas and creating a beautiful home begins with a healthy environment.   Remember that Succulents & Spruce Christmas tree ? It's a beautiful focal point to the studio living room area. I love the colors and rustic nature vibe in this space.    A grapevine star against a window in the daytime is hard to photograph but trust me, it makes for a perfect topper! And I love the pop of color from these coppery-orange ornaments.    Gold glitter feathers! My favorite sparkle accent for this nature themed tree.  There's lots of extra leafy garlands to give it a fuller look too. Did you notice?    And there's Northern Lights Black Spruce essential oil in the diffuser ornament giving it a beautiful pine scent! When you can't have fresh pine, this is a great opti...
