Thanks for the quick response, GreenDesigns...so to make sure I understand, you are suggesting we leave the stone from as a homage to the MCM history of the house and let our modern addition peek over the top as it is in light/dark gray? What do you think of lime washing the stone to mote the orange color a bit?

You should ditch the gray entitlrely. You should create a design that WORKS with the home. Not one that tries to obliterate it.

At this point with the gray roof and the addition, you will probably have to paint the brick and chimney. Although this house may have been built mid-century, it is not MCM. So I would just try to get the components harmonious.

You’ve already ruined any mid century connection so go whole hog and rip off the stone too.

I think for consistency, I would remove the stone and replace it with something that is millennial-contemporary, since the house has been modernized substantially.

Thanks everyone for your comments and ideas....We are talking to our builder this week to make a decision....We are thinking of leaving it, but changing the color through some means....it will preserve the current look but tie it in better with the light and dark gray addition which we absolutely love. more comments and thoughts would be graciously appreciated!

It seems like removing it is the best option at this time.
