Please help me avoid veering too far off course
Comments (13)Two other tile sources to check out: Mission Tile and Rookwood. I have some Motawi accent tiles in my kitchen and heartily endorse them too. Keep in mind that though all of the these companies are quite pricey, you can buy just the accent tiles from them and find something that's compatible, but cheaper, as a field tile. The Motawi tiles are quite thick...nearly half an inch, so it took some finagling to get them to look right with thinner field tiles from another company (Ann Sacks) surrounding them. But it can be done....See MoreHelp me avoid "matchy matchy" without getting too eclectic. Please :)
Comments (30)Your window is more like 6 feet across...looking at the size of the doors and room. So four feet wouldn't be too small...however, that's massive so you'll have to get one as side in diameter as you can. I think the one above (top right) has more presence than the lower one.

Comments (9)Well, I meant to show the dry creek bed and shrub garden that replaced the gravel/paver mess but I certainly did not explain the many changes we made to the front, so I will try to explain further and add photos.

Side before: Side after: paved driveway, built and covered an Azek deck leading to mudroom door (which we use frequently as we come in from the barn). You can see the new porch that replaced the screened entry porch . We added half round gutters and rain chains on the porch and entry roofs, one leading to a rain barrel and one draining into the dry creek bed in front. The front door had been enclosed in the screened porch....See MorePlease help me pick the right color for the exterior of this house.
Comments (15)The best way to see which color family works with your stone is to buy a few of them in Samplize. Put them close to the stone and see if they work. Lyn gave you some good starting points. It’s possible to find the right blue if you think you want a blue house. Your stone, close up, looks quite neutral....See MoreCelery.
