We have made the decision about the stone for the exterior.We have selected OLD MILL by Arriscraft, in Fortress Brown. We rejected the stone we originally selected (Citadel by Arriscraft) as it looked too yellow when we saw it in daylight on a house (vs just a a small sample board indoors).
This post also introduces my "Freda Approved" checkmark. I used the Willow font, which is an Arts & Crafts style of font, and therefore in keeping with the look of our house.
In addition, we decided to have similar window/door treatment as shown in these photos. There is a large block above the center of the opening, with the half size blocks arranged vertically over the opening. At the sides of the opening, the stone just runs up to it in a normal pattern with no fancy trim.
One final thing to add...The Old Mill stone is the same that is used in the Jiulia Lake Estates sign, although this is a different colour...
