Being an empty nester can be more exciting than you ever imagined and when it comes to choosing a new place to live, you really don’t need to compromise on style and comfort just because you’re downsizing. There’s so many exciting things about living in a smaller home. Some of which include less cleaning, less clutter and a chance to start new and fresh! Imagine reinventing your interiors, changing the decor and buying furniture that are not only better looking but also more comfortable!
Designed by Echelon Interiors, this empty nester cape cod cottage was designed for retirees and vacationing homeowners. The house was designed to have a bright and fun coastal feel by featuring a vibrant orange with blue color palette throughout.
This post has a complete list for the ultimate happy empty nester! It’s full of interior ideas, decor, furniture sources, paint colors and I am even sharing the floor plan in this post! Being an empty nester has never been so fun!
Can you tell that a happy empty nester lives here? Take a look at this stunning Cape Cod cottage! Dreamy, isn’t it?
What a curb-appeal! I love the colorful landscaping, the manageable-sized front porch and the window box.
