The hammock, the hot tub, the bamboo screen, the lushness of the tropical trees — Houzzers loved everything about this multilevel deck in Sydney
This sleeping porch on Amelia Island in Florida has room for two to enjoy the fresh breezes and sounds of the sea while drifting off for the night or grabbing a catnap during the day.
Of course, sometimes your home will look like a cottage even with the minimal amount of landscaping. This house would say cottage even in the middle of a city. Even so, you can see the basic cottage elements, from irregularly placed paving materials to climbing plants and a wooden bench.

Rikki Snyder SaveEmail The grape vine wraps around to the front of the garage. Also on the garage in an old iron container is a white black-eyed Susan vine with a chartreuse sweet potato vine.
The window box on the garage is filled with sweet potato vine, petunias and coleus. A grape vine travels over the door and around the top of the garage.
The front of the rock wall is full of daffodils in the springtime. Behind the wall are knockout roses and self-seeding cleome. The old iron kettle is home to a pink geranium.
Wooden shoes repurposed as planters hang at the back entrance. Fristoe found them at yard sales over the years. She planted small pots of ivy in each shoe, lining them up to resemble a window box.

This is the reason you feel so comfortable in certain gardens: their rhythms speak to yours
