We are using a stone called Casa Di Sassi Mountain Ledgestone, and it looks a lot like the stone in your picture. I need to upload pics and then I'll post for you. I've been really happy with the look of this stone....thankfully, because it took me like a year to make up my mind! Here is a link......but I think it looks a little different in real life. Good luck!

ok, here is the brick/stone combo. The stone band on the house hasn't been mortared yet, but the stone on the chimneys has.

Ohlaches, thank you so much!! that is a great match of brick to stone!!! It looks great!! how did you go about matching them. I am so afraid of picking out a siding color and not liking it. I want a tan/gray but not too dark. Then to top off, matching the stone veneer to it!! Iyyyy yiiii yiiiii!!!!! Maybe I should talk to a siding specialist.

lol....it took me almost a year to finally make up my mind, complete with anxiety attacks and eye twitches. Plus, my husband and kids, were like, "they all look the same, just pick one!" So, thank you for the compliment...good to know it was worth waiting and finding the right match. Part of the problem was that I had originally picked a different stone that was very vibrant and colorful, and I couldn't for the life of me, pick out a brick. Funny....the brick I originally picked is on a Taco Bell and the stone is prevalent at our zoo....I thought, "hmm...Taco Bell and the Zoo are not really the looks I'm going for!"

While I was at one of the brick yards, I stumbled across this stone and loved it....it is the most natural looking veneer I saw. The colors and texture are great. So, then I took my builder's wife, who is an artist, with me to the house and we held up different brick with the stone and shingles. It was amazing, once I saw them together, it all worked. So take your time and make sure you like it, and if you can, try not to rely on pictures....I hated my brick choice when I saw it on the Taco Bell! Good luck!

ohlaches,

I really like the brick you chose. Do you mind letting us know the name/supplier of the brick? I had my colours for siding, roof, windows, trim and brick chosen by an online service ($20.00 fee). The designer did a really good job helping me choose colours or I would have gone crazy. The brick she chose for us is not readily available in our area, so we are still working on that. BTW the service I used was color coach -- she also has a blog of ideas and she posts design questions and her answers. I have absolutely no affiliation with the color coach. I just found her in a google search.

Good luck with your decisions.

Carol,

The brick is called Burlington from the Columbus Brick Company. I am in Ohio, but the brick is from Columbus, Mississippi. Thanks for the compliment!
