Curb Appeal: Cape Cod
This two-story home with Cape Cod style has timeless appeal thanks to a front porch framed by columns. And yet, the driveway still manages to steal the show; its grass block pavers create a cool, geometric display that lures cars from the road and into the garage.
Cape Cod Style Exterior and Driveway
This Cape Cod style home's outdoor areas incorporate lots of stately brick details, crisply contrasted by bright white. The driveway, seen here, uses the same paver-plus-grass layout as found in the backyard's patios.

Brick Patio WithWhite Armchairs
Plush armchairs beg to be cozied up in with a good book and an iced tea. To make an outdoor space especially inviting, use elements more often found indoors, like comfortable furniture, pillows and rugs.

Covered Patio With Brick Fireplace
This covered patio seems to sit as high as the hills, with no fences or hedges to hinder the view. A large brick fireplace keeps things toasty; a chandelier keeps them fancy.

Brick Patio and Topiary
Texture does the main job of filling this patio with visual appeal...that and the incredible view! The patio's brick trim is contrasted by large pavers and grass. Wicker dining chairs are shaded by a white pergola. And a sculptural topiary stands at attention nearby.
