Eibhlin's message reminded me that a mate of mine went the whole hog and made her back wall look like an old cottage! It looks fantastic.
In a nutshell she had the wall rough-plastered to look like rural Irish cottage, then put in two fake windows with mirrors instead of glass and and windowsills for putting plant pots on. There was a gateway in her wall that leads to a football field behind her house so she replaced the old gate with a front door someone was throwing away (probably a jumbletown job, I forget) and painted it with outdoor wood paint for the final touch. You could leave a recess in the rough-plaster to get the same effect and just screw the door to the wall.
I'm afraid the only photo I have is a crappy camera phone one, but in the flesh its absolute genius. I can give you a (slightly) better quality version if you PM me.
