I love Cape Cod. The cedar shake homes, the clear blue water, the hydrangeas around every corner. So when I discovered Sandra of Old Silver Shed on Instagram, I fell in love with her dream coastal home on the cape that is the perfect blend of modern and vintage style.
This is one home in my Eclectic Home Tour series where you get to peek inside some of my all time favorite homes.
Let’s follow Scout inside to look around.
A $40 antique newel post found at a junk shop then stripped and limed gives old world character to the staircase.
Perfect place to curl up with a good book … and a glass of wine.
It’s all in the details – like these charming Dutch doors that can be flung open on a warm summer day.
I love the mix of old world charm with modern furniture.
A heart collection hangs from an old branch on the mantel.
Small rocks make this fireplace unique.
A peek at the water view.
Antique cabinets were turned into a bookcase.
An inviting guest bedroom.
The perfect place to watch the sun set – this side porch can be accessed through the guest room and family room.
Family photos make a fun bathroom gallery wall.
Hallway leads to the laundry room.
Simplicity in the master bedroom.
Kids bathroom with amazing sink.
Let’s take in more of the gorgeous outdoor views.
I’m ready to head to the cape to visit Sandra at Old Silver Shed. That guest room is calling my name!

Agree Laura – it’s gorgeous!
One of my all-time favorite homes you’ve shown. Love the understated elegance of whites, creams, and burlap beiges blended with old collectibles. This home deserves magazine coverage!
I agree Rusha – it’s definitely on the top of my list too!
DOUBLE DUTCH DOORS!!!! Holy shit!
My thoughts exactly!
I love your blog and read it regularly BUT the ads are over the top. Too many! and popping up all over when I try to read your content. I know you need ads but some restraint would be appreciated.
Thanks for being a reader of my blog! I have someone managing my ads and I try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. I hate those pop up ads too! I’ll talk to them and see what I can change. Thanks for letting me know!
I am with you i want to visit would they let me stay a month or two! lol! Looks so peaceful.
She does have two beds in that guest room!!
Wow! Beautiful home . Thanks for sharing. Imagine sitting on that porch looking at that view.
Now I want to move to the Cape Shirley!

I was in heaven touring those lovely, welcoming rooms and enjoying the beautiful views! I’ve been to Cape Cod twice and would dearly love to see it again. I will always remember the quaint houses and villages and the tons of blue hydrangeas everywhere! Greetings from Ontario, Canada!
Glad you enjoyed this home and I adore Cape Cod too Elaine!
