We haven't yet but are pretty sure we are going to use it on our house that is under construction. It's a bungalow and will have a lighter gray stone skirt. We got a sample from a local building supply store. Our builder didn't have the iron gray in his sample box. There are a few photos of houses with it on the Hardie web site. I don't really like it with all the light trim they show though. We will have a black roof (architectural shingles), gray soffits etc., white window frames, black shutters. Right now the front door is white but we might paint it red. We were looking for a dark / charcoal gray and the only other one we found was a premium vinyl, which we were told was more expensive than the hardie.

We're building a home and torn between aged pewter and pearl gray. There will be a stone on the bottom, still unsure of the color depending on the siding. We're doing white trim and garage. Please share pics if you have them.

Below are pictures of (1) the front elevation from the architect and (2) a similar home in Evening Blue Hardie siding instead of the Pearl Gray that we chose. We went to the stone yard and saw some darker stones that would contrast well with the light gray siding and white trim - Buechel Black Frost Castle Rock. What are your thoughts? We're open to suggestions!

Stone was a foundation material, before we had concrete. When using stone as a decorative element, it is best to use it near the foundation, so it looks authentic and useful - and put it all around the house. Back when stone was used as a building material, it would never be put on one wall, as you've shown. The only time stone would climb up off the foundation is when it was used as fireplace/chimney. That's why folks are objecting to a small wall of stone - and "peel and stick" refers to the fact that it is clearly for show, not structural. 4 exterior materials is 2 too many. The facade looks busy and disjointed - rather than a uniform siding type to bring the elements together, the various materials make the house look like different structures, plopped next to each other.
