There is not just one example of empty nesters these days.
Some of these couples have just sent the last of their children off to college.
Others are seeing older children finally move away on their own.
Having your
home to yourself presents an array of opportunities. This is a time to not only
develop your home but to transform your life, as well. Couples often define themselves over the years as parents.
They sometimes forget that they are individuals and spouses. Preparing to be an
empty nest involves evaluating where you are currently. It is also about making
plans for the future.
Thinking about this time in advance makes it easier to
adjust. Instead of going into a panic from the quiet, prepare
for it and make a serene space for your lifestyle.
Now that the house is empty, why not redesign specific
rooms. Setting up a budget for incremental changes is a good idea. New kitchen
appliances or flooring will improve the look and functionality of this space.
Bedrooms, living rooms and even basements can be targets for change. This may
also be an opportunity to develop more areas for entertaining.
Create Personal Space
Depending on how many children are vacating the nest, there
may now be a lot of extra space. This is finally the time for husbands and
wives to create their own personal living areas. You can transform a bedroom
into an office.
Moving furnishings around or changing the décor will help with
these projects. Couples should adopt rooms for themselves and to use together.
This can be a fun adventure.
