Dunes is giving #Shackaquiddick a bathroom upgrade this weekend. New floor, toilet and covering some holes. Nothing fancy. There's no tile and I'm not getting rid of the utility sink. The space will be safer for when my parents visit later this month as the floor sloped horribly and had a hole in it. Leaves blew in not to mention the animals that used it as their own when we weren't there. #marthasvineyard #greekrevival #historicarchitecture #whalingcaptainshouse #construction

@feliciaoffcolor shared this photo this week of Mona, an #italiangreyhound that Laura Moss photographed for @countrylivingmag on a shoot we did in #maine on #capeneddick years ago. I think I ordered a thousand dollars of peonies snd every one of them was upstaged by this dog. #styledbyduchy #dogsofinstagram #peonies

Sunset on the prairie. This is my parent's backyard, a beautiful, peaceful patch of heaven in Kansas. #mybackyard #homesweethome #kansas #farmgirl

Tiki table goodness at the home of @hinteriorsllc! Our little table in our color Conch Shell feels quite at home! #bambootable #tikistyle #tiki #pinktable #showusyourdunesandduchess

Hamptons Style at the home of Katie Couric that I styled a few years ago. She was a gracious and open host, even chowing down on @hamptonchutneyco with us on her terrace. 📷: @rdphoto1, #styledbyduchy #hamptons #hamptonsstyle #summerstyle

Colored sconces add so much pop to a wall and in this design by @jennywolfinteriors repeat the blue stripe in the ceiling. Our sconces can be ANY color or natural or a stain. Next time you think of sconces, think color! #customizable #madeintheusa #showusyourdunesandduchess #sconcesofinstagram #stripedceiling #beachhouse

Moderne Sconce in a custom color with a satin finish for a Houston design firm. Can't wait to see on what color wall or wallpaper this goes. #customizable #madeinusa #showusyourdunesandduchess

A lucky friend was staying in one of the suites at the @harborviewmv in #edgartown and snapped this for me. One of our Sailor's Knot Floor Lamps! The new suites were designed by @lisapyden. #marthasvineyard #islandstyle #sailorsknot #hoteldesign

Missing our little island house this weekend as we've stayed home to work. It was so nice to have @karinlidbeck come visit it this past week. She suggested #Shackaquiddick have its own Instagram, but I'm not sure I could keep up with two. We hope to start on some renovations this fall. We desperately need a roof. But we really are determined to keep the character of this 1830s Greek Revival. #Chappy #marthasvineyard #oldhouse #islandhouse #islandstyle

Simple? Hardly. Sleek? Absolutely. Great design by #newtrad @koodekir. #modernkitchen #boston #styledbyduchy 📷 @ericrothphoto

Candelabras make great finishing touches to this dining room by @designstorms. Putting them on the sideboard means they don't conflict with those great lantern lights. #showusyourdunesandduchess #candelabra #candelabrastyle #diningroom #finishingtouches
