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!

Comments (7)sc: Your cabinets must be installed level, plumb, and most importantly in this case, in a straight line, no matter what your wall (or floor) is doing. If you follow a wanky wall it will look great until you put the counters on and the drawer pulls bob and weave under the top. 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 MoreGray brick exterior with stone ledge and accent wall - yes or no?
Comments (23)"I'd love to stick with all stone but doesn't work into our budget." A big portion of your budget is going to the 3,800+ sq ft first floor - because you have a 3,600 sq ft basement. The total of your first and second floors is 5,710 sq ft. If you built a traditional 2-story house, you would have about 2,800 sq ft on the first floor (this does depend on garage, though). The cost of a basement foundation for 2,800 sq ft vs. 3,600 sq ft is significant. We are also building on 4 acres (in PA). Have just signed a contract with a builder - but spent months and months on research, looking at plans and driving around looking at houses within 3 counties. We considered a first floor master/first floor guest BR/"1 and 1/2" story house - these make the basements large and not cost-effective. As part of our "research", we bought this book: Get Your House Right by Marianne Cusato. It's an eye-opener. The book explains proportions and elements of classic house styles. You may not want a traditional Colonial or Georgian style house, but the book shows you the concepts of how everything should fit together. Just a thought, may not be large enough for you, but much better proportions without being too "Colonial": http://www.dreamhomesource.com/house-plans/dhs/dhsw55092.html If you are wanting the first-floor master, along with first-floor guest BR, this house is amazing and more proportional: http://www.dreamhomesource.com/house-plans/dhs/dhsw52333.html Good luck!...See MoreShould I do Brick or Tile on basement accent wall?
