Instead of a honeymoon, Krista and Pete Coleton want to turn their Cape Cod cottage into the house of their dreams.
With the help of designer Julie Weber and landscape architect Ed Colohan, the Coletons were able to transform their house from drab to fab. Highlights include a gracious front porch, flagstone walkway, colorful landscaping and Craftsman-style square columns. The once simple home now stands out on the block with its commanding presence.
