We are having our house painted next month. Here it is currently:

I would eventually like to have the roof replaced (when necessary — not for many years) with cedar shakes, and some day I’d like to have copper gutters and a black and creme color scheme. I’d like to move in this direction, but not sure whether dark half-timbering would look odd with a brown roof, or if creme would be too light for the stone. I’d love feedback about either of these options:

Second, can anyone suggest a nice bedroom ceiling light fixture with 2+ bulbs? I like schoolhouse lights, but they seem to use only one bulb, which I think may make the room too dark. The bedroom ceilings are only 7’6” high, and I am looking for something approximating an original 1930s fixture.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
