Creating a New England Look to the Exterior of your House

There really is something about wooden clad houses that creates a soft organic feel, really blending into the environment so much more than brick.

If though, you feel that wood is too high maintenance, then there is a product made by Marley called Eternit Weatherboard http://www.eternit.co.uk/. This comes in several different colours, looks just like wood and can be sawn and used like wood. This comes with a 25 year guarantee; I have used it several times and even after five years it still looks great.

The use of decking and beach shingle with some nice palmy style plants really helps to give your house a New England beachy feel.
