Rhyne! s imagination turns out building into a showplace BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer When Marilyn Rhyne needed a storage shed for her yard, she paid homage to her Massachusetts heritage with what she calls a Cape Cod-tage. The building, with its inviting porch and window boxes, makes one turn and look for the sea shore. “We would summer at Cape Cod. I need to have a flair of where I grew up,” she said. “And I hate ugly out build- ings.” Rhyne plans to add lattice work around the foundation. She will also decorate with pebbles, fishnet and drift wood. “I want to make it real beachy looking,” she said. North Carolina’s coast ; is also part of the build- ing. Local artist Doyle Ellison painted a scene of the Cape Hatteras light- house on the north side. Birds, sea grass and shells complete the mural. A tiny golf green “is painted to one side, a nod to her husband's love of golf. A hammock sits near- by. Rhyne plans to relax and think of the beach. “Because I don’t get to go enough,” she jokes. The cod-tage is just one creative spot in Rhyne’s yard. She has salvaged interesting wire and wooden chairs. A metal “junk yard cat” is nailed to a tree. A similar dogs stands on the ground in pursuit of the cat. Carpet roses surround a bench with a sleeping angel and church made from pebble and bark. Deep pink humming- bird vine climbs up lattice work. : ANDIE BRYMER / HERALD Marilyn Rhyne of Kings Mountain has turned her out-building into a model of a Cape Cod cottage.
