Paint Colors Built in: 1922. Bought in: 2005. Size: 3,800 sq. ft. "This house was built nearly a hundred years back to mimic the Cotswold cottages of England. The largest change we made was redoing the roof with cedar shingles bent to look like the originals," say homeowners Nick Agoff and Jean-Franois Godbout.
The House Houses of the style in England traditionally had thatched roofs made from reeds. The contemporary look-alike version: 18-inch-long cedar shingles which were heated and bent onsite.
Bent-Cedar Roof Jean-Franois and Nick think the 42-inch-wide door is unique to the house. They spruced it up with fresh strap hinges and a handleset, plus they sand and varnish it every couple of years to keep it in form. Bungalow 37228 Douglas fir door, from $900, simpsondoor.com for stores
