Inside a Cape Cod Home Filled With Summer Memories & Color

Interior designer Liz Sherwood invites us into her family’s Cape Cod saltbox home.

Over the years, Liz transformed the 1960s house with fresh paint, colorful wallpaper, practical furniture, and smart solutions that make a small footprint work for a family of six and a constant stream of guests. She shares the design choices that make the house easy to live in, from durable fabrics and hardworking outdoor spaces to bunk rooms, a highly used kitchen and a pool surrounded by hydrangeas.

But the most meaningful details are personal: a dining table made by Liz’s father, a decades-old beach towel from her grandmother’s house and photographs that document years of summers together.
