home for today’s lifestyle. <more>
Respectful Remodel: From the street, this 19th-century sea captain’s house looks much the same today as it did when built 150 years ago. The Harwich Port cottage is a little less than 2,000 square feet. <more>
See Worthy: The renovation of a dilapidated
antique Cape marries cutting-edge
technology and old-fashioned ingenuity. When Tracy and Dan Foley first saw their Chatham summer home, it was just one big shell of old timbers divided by two floors and two-by-fours. <more>
Towering Success: Shaker design sense
and a rooftop tower turn a bland 1970s house into a home worthy

location, location" and, indeed, a one-day, Open House
showing attracted six seriously interested buyers. <more>

serves up lots of Old World charm. Lorraine Donnelly started thinking about renovating her kitchen the day she and her husband, Robert, closed on the house. <more>

the homeowners bought this South Yarmouth home five years
ago, it was with an eye toward their anticipated semi-retirement. <more>
 Open House: A kitchen renovation opens up
the entire living space in this 20-year-old home. Some
rooms can tolerate design flaws, but if a kitchen doesn’t

or money.<more>

a clean bill of health with a complete remodel. <more>

Bath to the Future: The outsized whirlpool bathtub that carried such cachet 20 years ago has become the albatross around the neck of many middle-age homeowners, like the owners of this home in North Falmouth. <more>

home hint at the past but harbor
all the amenities of the present. <more>

Laundry- Out of the Closet: With the average family doing 8 to 10 loads per week,
laundering has earned a room of its own. The laundry room is fast becoming the next must-have room. <more>
Art and Artifice: A Cape Cod artisan continues
a craft steeped in tradition. At first glance, every
corner of the comfortably weathered guest wing of the historic
19th-century Cape Cod home in North Chatham speaks softly
but patently of age. <more>
LANDSCAPING PROJECTS
 Winterscaping: Add evergreens, ornamentals
and other interesting features for year-round garden appeal. Winter
landscapes can be subtle and dramatic—- and just as vital
as the summer garden. The structure of your garden emerges,
with the hardscape displaying more prominence. <more>

hidden by mature trees and overgrown plantings, this Mashpee
house gets curb appeal
as a result of a careful landscape redesign.
