Thank you I am leaning towards white grout. We want a very tight grout line. But I think I prefer a gap between counter and door frame.. I am not sure i would like the tile extending past the countertop

What about when the hydrangeas go and the Montauk Daisies take over Kidding!! I like the idea of carrying the sign color to the door - that could be very pretty. Does the sign color look good with your siding? I love the Dusty Mauve @houssaon posted. I haven't seen that before - may steal that for our front door!

Looks like large pavers. We live in wet winter country - PNW so moss etc is a routine thing here. We use the product Wet and Forget on our smaller pavers which works on moss & grime pretty well. Not all moss is green - it’s black mold looking too. Wet & Forget comes in concentrate or a sprayer container. Needs to be put down when pavers are dry & be able to stay wet for @ hour - so no spraying in sun or heat. Rain comes & washes black away & moss dies so it’s not immediate result but is seen working after the first rain. Not sure how successful this would be in less rainy climate. We buy it at Costco - product is popular here. We did pressure wash our pavers once using a round attachment that gives a much softer wash than the angled hard spray of the angled spray point of pressure washing. We were afraid the pressure washer would lift all the sand filler between the paver joints. ETA: we’ve never sealed our pavers but it is done by some. Need to clean first & I think it’s not permanent so must be redone every few years.

I wish I had an answer for you (I came to this thread because I'm getting my red oak floors refinished in a few weeks, and I'm looking for completed job pictures), but if you're looking for a "timeless classic brown" and have dogs and kids, those samples look awfully dark to me. An entire room full of that color floor is going to look even darker, and all the flooring people I've talked to have warned me that the darker the floor, the more likely it is to show pet hair, muddy footprints, etc. If you don't have tons of natural light, that's only going to compound the effect. Of the choices in your picture, I like the bona medium brown best (assuming that's the lighter of the two smaller rectangles), but I think you should try another color, or ask your refinisher if there's a blend or luster that will lighten the medium brown to get the same tone but not quite so dark.
