Here are the 10 of the best ways to accent your home with your unique style

Interiors

Wainscoting- Decorative woodwork applied to the lower portion of a wall. It can be created in hardwood or made from cost effective MDF in many styles.

 

Crown Molding- One of the fine details that set a custom home apart. It offers a grand transition from ceiling to wall and hides imperfections.

 

Fireplace Mantel - The old adage “Home is where the hearth is” still holds true. A custom fireplace surround and mantle will add untold resale value to your home as well as solving many storage issues.

 

Coffered Ceiling – You wouldn’t forget to paint your ceiling why forget to decorate it? Coffered ceilings can be as simple as straight recycled barn boards or as detailed as the one pictured below. 


Custom Built in Cabinetry- Built to suit each space exactly, custom cabinetry creates a focal point while adding value to your home. 

Exteriors

Custom Shutters- Consider a detailed raised panel with a unique style instead of the standard louver. 


Exterior Trim- Azek products are a durable and paintable plastic material that will not rot and allow you to invest in accenting the exterior of your home without the fear of yearly painting. 


Custom Mailbox, Planters and Window Boxes – While there is nothing wrong with a standard clay pot, something that sets your home apart is always a nice touch.

TimberTech Decking- Simply changing out your pressure treated decking with a composite product like TimberTech, adds color and refinement to your home. 


Siding- If your siding is in good shape but you could use some curb appeal, consider replacing just your front siding with Cedar Impressions. They add depth and interest to the front of your home.

The Beauty of the South Shore is that in one quaint neighborhood you can find a cape, a center hall colonial, a Tudor or a ranch all on the same street; each crying out with the style of its owner. These are the homes I love to work in, where people adore their neighborhood and want their home to be a reflection of their lives. 


The recent events of Super Storm Sandy have left many of us South Shore Residents thinking of our beloved Coast. As a foreigner from rolling hills of emerald green, our Dunes may be battered, but they are loved.
