Where Justine Lives
Justine Hand Cottage Cape Cod Dining Room
With its unique, rounded ceiling, my cozy, cottage dining room feels a bit like being inside an egg. Martin Senour paint in Tidewater, a warm but pale blue, enhances that feel. The oval, drop-leaf table was custom built by a friend using vintage, wide-plank boards.
Justine Hand Cottage Pantry
My pantry is like a shrine to my favorite summer dishes (mostly vintage stoneware). I'm constantly playing with the arrangement to make sure it's never too cluttered.
Justine Hand Cottage Bedroom
Nothing feels more quintessentially Cape Cod summer than a bed tucked under the eaves.
Justine Hand Cottage Mirror
Elements of vintage gilding add a bit of glamour and warmth.

I wish I could take credit for the dramatic black and yellow kitchen palette. It was the previous owner who demonstrated such daring. At least I knew enough leave it.

I love my sunlit, summer kitchen sink so much that I actually enjoy doing dishes (by hand, of course, there is no dishwasher).
