The enchanting designs that follow appear to have come from the pages of a storybook. On the left is a
romantic stone cottage with a tall stone arch leading to the entry.
Below, right, is a charming Cape Cod. Clad in wood shingles, salt air
from the nearby Atlantic Ocean has weathered them to a beautiful shade

adding a dramatic burst of color!

The cottages at right and below were inspired by the Craftsman Style.
Popular in the early decades of the twentieth century, the style is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
Moving into the 21st century, the designs at right and below are contemporary in style.
