Two-Year Cottage Cape Cod Home Tour | Real Life & Unstaged

Today I'm bringing you behind the scenes for a look at our new home on the New Hampshire Seacoast on the two-year anniversary of our move-in day. Since my kids are home for the summer and we're in the middle of several projects, it's unstaged and we definitely have a bit of clutter! I purposely left things raw and honest because I'll also be bringing you along the decluttering process in upcoming videos. There are some fun before and afters in this video and I'm excited to share even more of them in the future.

I'm in the dining room part of your video and you shouldn't change anything so far! I'm on Cape Cod Massachusetts and I do love NH. The ocean is beautiful there and the water... freezing lol. I think you did an excellent job with the house. Perfect New England. You are very blessed to get to buy a home over these past 4 years.
❤
P.S. I actually like the rust color tiles that you said are outdated. It makes me think of Italy. I think I would decorate that area to match the esthetic of the floor!

Raised fireplace hearth: 1. Visually if you are sitting on the sofa and looking over the coffee table/ottoman it wont cut off view of the flames. 2. It is easier when you are older and your back begins to give you pain, to put the wood into the fireplace. I am a fan of raised hearths! I agree that the shelves are a little askew. I think dividing each side in half rather than thirds will be more visually appealing.

Those are great points, thank you!

You're home is lovely. I love the kitchen ❤ and all the built-ins throughout. The natural light flowing through is magnificent. For such a large home, it is bright and airy!

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Thank you so much! The built-ins are my favorite, too!

Your house exterior reminds me of the houses in the north end of Hampton Beach...Our summer getaway when I was a child 60 years ago.

[@NinaHendrickHome]

That's not far from us :)

[@ambers4524]

A very nice, large home. Enjoy it!
A lot of people don’t have the luxury of remodeling. 👍🏻

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Thank you! We feel very grateful!

[@mariawilde4444]

Absolutely LOVE the real life tour!!😊

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Thank you! So happy you stopped by!

[@maureenprovostryan8438]

Very interesting! Most excited to see the new craft space upstairs

[@NinaHendrickHome]

You and Lyla both! :)

[@robyngranberry9044]

Beautiful! I like the uppers on the bookshelves. Mixing books, photos and objet d'art to tell your family's story seem to be ready and waiting. As well when you shared photo I though a state facing and the I saw the flooring that has a honed finish int he "mud room" area I think that would look great but when you got to the bar area the marble could look great also a surround for fireplace. Anyway, you are so blessed with a wonderful home!

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Those would be great options for the fireplace surround! Thanks for stopping by!

[@user-du3ui9uh3r]

Amazing work so far - thank you for the tour!

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Thank you!!

[@charlotterogers1182]

OMG your house is so beautiful. I love the kitchen most. I would be interested to see all the transformations. And BTW I was floored that you have teens , you look 24 . Enjoyed the tour.

[@NinaHendrickHome]

24?! Hello, new best friend! 🤣 But really, thanks so much and thank you for following along! ❤

[@avondalemama470]

The phrase, “lucked out” means you were very unlucky. It has a negative connotation to whatever it’s referring to. If you were “lucky” in a choice or situation, then you were lucky, a positive, beneficial outcome. I’m assuming your choice was a positive one. Thanks for sharing the beautiful video. 😊

[@seaglass1111]

Everyone who I know says lucked out meaning were lucky. I've heard anyone say otherwise... only you 🤔

[@avondalemama470]

@@seaglass1111 I was an English minor at university. A lot of our common language has become Standard English, that technically is not correct.

Do you have the layout of your house that you can share? We have a similar house but your layout is fantastic

[@tehmineyalbuzdag2390]

Bedroom wall color plz. Absolutely stunning

[@NinaHendrickHome]

I'm so sorry that I missed this, but in case anyone else is looking for the answer in the future: I believe it was White Dove by Benjamin Moore!

[@Paige-hq8ok]

Would love to know what countertop that is in your kitchen? So beautiful!

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Sorry that I missed this! It's Carrara marble

[@user-mo7df8ur2k]

My room is the best

[@nataliejacobs9758]

Do you have details on the wallpaper in the dining room?

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Sorry for the late reply! Here's my affiliate link to the wallpaper: rstyle.me/+cVXdE7gfy34CsbNSL7gykA

[@dcs1551]

Your house is beautiful! I would keep the raised hearth for the same reasons as @victoriasicilian4573.

[@NinaHendrickHome]

Thank you so much!
