Cottage Style Cape Home Tour

Cottage Style Cape Home Tour

This cottage style cape home with cedar shake is located on the seacoast of New Hampshire and is filled with classic touches and plenty of built-ins. Follow along as I add decor and organization in order to make this cape cod style cottage house our own.

Cape cod style cottage cedar shake home on the seacoast of New Hampshire
our Cottage cAPE home tour

In the summer of 2021 we made a big life change. After spending the previous twelve years in Massachusetts, we moved back to New Hampshire to be closer to our family and friends. We thought about building a house, but the timeline didn’t quite work out with our kids’ school. As we were trying to figure out a plan, our good friend and real estate agent Robert found us the perfect cape cod style cottage home.

I had brought him a floor plan when we’d considered building, and the house ended up having a lot of the same features that drew me to that original design. Not only is it a cape cod style cottage home, but it has cedar shake and is filled with classic finishes and tons of gorgeous custom built-ins. While it needs minimal updates, we do have a few projects planned (and the exterior is going to be so much fun to make even better).

Our first major project will be the main bathroom, and you can follow along as we tackle that project in the early winter of 2022. We also have plans of updating and refreshing the kitchen and adding a patio to the beautiful backyard. I can’t wait to share as we continue to make this new home our own!

You can take a tour of the empty house from the day we closed on the house here.

I’m sharing a little personal update in stories. I’m sharing a little personal update in stories. It was hard to organize my thoughts, so it’s a bit choppy in places, but I relieved to have finally shared in hopes of helping someone else! 💜

Also, here’s a burst of color for the grid for spring! Flowers in a sink... wildly impractical, but endlessly appealing for some reason. 💐 I think I enjoy freezing the moment before they're made into something else. We can probably read into that. 🙃

Here’s a round up of some Before and Afters from Here’s a round up of some Before and Afters from our recent bathroom remodel! 👉🏻 

My goal was to reconfigure the bathroom without having to majorly move plumbing. We decided to eliminate the water closet with a giant window (that room was so cold anyway 🥶) and create a nook for the toilet instead with a round window to complement the exterior of our coastal home. This opened up square footage for an expanded shower — no more tiny shower capsule! We replaced the giant non-working tub and surround with a freestanding bathtub. The bathtub is my favorite part of the room! 🧖‍♀️🛁

Taking the time to think about how you’ll use a room and how it will serve you and your family best always pays off in design! ✍️ Tap the ❤️ if you’re planning a bath remodel, dreaming of one, or found this post useful!
