Comments (2)"light accents"...do you mean outdoor lighting? I have an existing home, brick front, 22 years old. We are chaning our three existing front lights because one was damaged in a hail storm. We cannot match all three and think it is time for a change, anyways. So I'll link a picture even though it wasn't taken specifically of the lights. Actually only one of the three lights can be seen on the picture. If this is not what you were posting about...sorry! Here is a link that might be useful: outdoor light on brick home...See MoreHere's the brick--doesn't it seem uneven?
Comments (61)This is a very long old thread resurrected instead of being referenced in a new post. I didn't read all of it but the original poster was comparing a noon photo of molded brick & raked joint to a manufacturer's photo of the same brick professionally lighted & tuck-pointed joint (flush joint with a small bead tooled in the middle of it).

You don't want to sight down your cabinets and counters and see a change of plane. If you plan to have the front edge of the butcher block flush with the drawer fronts, that gives you 5/8" maximum scribe width. That should be plenty. Install color matched silicone between the top and wall. I'd mask that brick when I did....See MoreExterior painted accent wall? No stone or brick.
Comments (6)Based on what I'm seeing in your elevation drawings I would lean more towards keeping it simple and clean. With stucco you can go with just about any color. If you're interested in seeing some virtual finishes on your house to help you narrow your focus, check out my web site, Creative Visual Concepts. I've attached a couple of projects where I used their elevation drawings to mock up the finished product. Neither of these are more "modern" but I was providing them with finishes that they wanted to see. The last photo is their actual house finished....See MoreSammy
