I'm a newbie to CG and have been seeing some others have asked for advice, so I'm taking a chance to see if you can help me...
I moved 3 yrs ago into this house, there was nothing here when I started...I really want a cottage look and I'm having a hard time.. I put the awnings and the window boxes on, made the little front porch, new sliding, windows, roof, new driveways and sidewalks...but I just can't get the front to have that welcome feeling, or that charm that a cottage has.not sure if I should line the driveways and sidewalk with flowers or hosta's or if that would be to much
see what you think...Thanks cindy
