About Us & Our Home

Hello and welcome to our blog! We started this blog to produce content specifically dedicated to cape homes.

While no one in our home qualifies as a professional architect or interior designer (Adam is an attorney and Allie is a merchant), when we first purchased our home (a 2,200 sq. ft. cape) in 2018, anytime there was a social media post that looked like it could have even potentially been posted from a cape home, we got excited. Since then, we’ve noticed there’s limited content dedicated to this popular architecture style, so we wanted to help by sharing the tips & tricks we’ve learned along the way and hopefully bring a community of fellow cape dwellers together to continue the conversation. If there’s anything specific you’d like to know – please ask!
