Please help us give this cottage a face lift!

12 years ago
This manufactured house was put on the lot so the front faces the lake and the back faces the road! The lake (front) side is lovely, but what can we do to give some curb appeal to our summer cottage? Maybe trellis/lathing over the large windows (they are not the same dimensions!) and also add flower boxes? The house looks so flat and long and no one notices the front door. Please help!

    Paint your front door your favorite bright color, and add porch and columns, as Chook suggested. Buy some flowering shrubs and fast growing groundcover.

    I would put an English style garden in front of the house. Bring in some curves into the garden bed, layer the height of the plants and bring in some bright colours through the leaves and flowers.

    What does the lakeside look like? You don’t want to clash styles or colors.
