The front of this charming home makes a powerful statement and not just because of its eye-catching plantings along the length of the property. The East Coast seaside design touches—the multi-colour palette, the old-world gate, plants tumbling over a dry stone wall—belie the very urban, West Coast location of Vancouver. By making the most of the home’s original touches, such as the clapboard gables and wooden shutters, these homeowners have set their abode apart from the rest of the block. More importantly, they’ve created a lasting first impression. Walking up the steps, the effect is an escape from a busy city street to a picturesque seaside small-town retreat.

I loved this issue! Unfortunately, it is out at my local public library and I can't place a hold. Can you advise which issue this was in order for me to backorder it?
Thanks kindly,
