(click for larger view)Today we did a stone tour (not the Stones!) tour, although the Stones were in town today for a concert at the Ex, the first in 40 years!). This is a montage of some of the buildings we saw today. The waviness is an artefact of a not-so-hot digital camera, and is a result of slight unsteadiness of the hand when taking the picture. The Old Mill stone, Fortress Brown colour, is at the bottom right corner - this is the type of stone and colour we are leaning towards right now. Previously we were leaning towards the Citadel in Desert Brown or Monastery Beige. Freda thinks the Desert Brown has too much yellow in it and would look odd next to the green we selected for the windows' brickmould. We both think the Citadel looks quite flat (unless it has a strong light on it from the side). Mark isn't too crazy about the little stones in the mix.
Click here to see a photo of Old Mill in Fortress Brown from the Arriscraft web site. (I think this is a Cardel home, judging from the symbol around the circular vent in the middle of the photo.)
