Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Illustrated Magazine, Vol. 35: April, 1906, to September, 1906 Being in possession, then, of our cottage - or rather of the plain bare shell lacking adornment both inside and out, and lacking, most of all, that mellowing influence of age which alone can trans form the plain into more than passable attractiveness, and the picturesque into the perfection of beauty, how are we to finish the work to which we have put our hands? As it now stands we have a brick-built, tiled-roof cottage, glaring in its newness and unrelieved by any contrivance for its embellishment. Let us consider first the possible treatments to which its exterior may be subjected. To take three of the most effective we may hang it with tiles, from the roof to the ground-floor windows rough-cast it all over; or, thirdly, plaster its walls roughly and unevenly (and the more unevenly the better), and complete the work by a coat of colour-wash.
