Idea Home 2006

Door County is known as the Cape Cod of the Midwest, so naturally a Cape Cod cottage-inspired exterior was a good fit. This style made exterior choices easy: a steeply pitched roof gives the front exterior a single-story cottage look. James Hardie's low-maintenance shingle siding in gray substitutes for weathered wood shakes. Manufactured stone paths and porch supports give an aged look. The deck railings and Clopay paneled garage doors have a classic look.
