carefully cultivated

The exterior is just as important as the interior....  This statement definitely proves true with this 1915 Rhode Island cottage that was decorated from the outside in.

...an exterior covered in English Ivy and shaded by oaks...

...a trellis full of wisteria framing a planter holding geraniums and sweet-potato vines...

...a screened-in porch surrounded by beach grass...

...a bright and airy patio with vintage-vibe wrought iron...
