TERRA COTTAGE: The Braggs interspersed seven signature sitting areas throughout their property. The fire irons were a special purchase. Brenda had seen ones like them and later regretted not buying them. When she came across another similar set serendipitously, she bought them immediately.
AL FRESCO: Bistro-style tables have been placed in picturesque nooks throughout the 3.5-acre property to accommodate outdoor dining. This area, which the Braggs call the dining arbor, is accented by two, alternately blooming vines: Evergreen clematis and Multi-Blue clematis.
