lol....it took me almost a year to finally make up my mind, complete with anxiety attacks and eye twitches. Plus, my husband and kids, were like, "they all look the same, just pick one!" So, thank you for the compliment...good to know it was worth waiting and finding the right match. Part of the problem was that I had originally picked a different stone that was very vibrant and colorful, and I couldn't for the life of me, pick out a brick. Funny....the brick I originally picked is on a Taco Bell and the stone is prevalent at our zoo....I thought, "hmm...Taco Bell and the Zoo are not really the looks I'm going for!" While I was at one of the brick yards, I stumbled across this stone and loved it....it is the most natural looking veneer I saw. The colors and texture are great. So, then I took my builder's wife, who is an artist, with me to the house and we held up different brick with the stone and shingles. It was amazing, once I saw them together, it all worked. So take your time and make sure you like it, and if you can, try not to rely on pictures....I hated my brick choice when I saw it on the Taco Bell! Good luck!

We are getting ready to replace roof, siding windows. Using hardie board, and want to stick with a factory color for at least the siding (could paint the trim ourselves a different color). I'm leaning towards cobblestone for the board and batten siding, my husband likes contrylane red. Charcoal gray roof or brownish? Bronze windows or off white? Thanks for any feedback!

Yes. I think gray would look good on the siding with white trim. It needs to be a gray that goes with the roof. Cute house and I love your garden.

I would lean toward going darker-here are a few choices. They’ve made huge strides in the paint industry especially when it comes to painting metal. You just need to make sure your painter knows and will use the appropriate paint. I used the Sherwin William paint digitizer. You may want to download it and give it a try yourself.
