Rock on!

Literally, we are looking for the rock to go on the different areas of the house we are working on right now. The main part of the house will be a very light stucco. We are looking at stone that has some variation in it, but is still very light and muted. We took these pictures of some stone work that we thought would work with the design of the house. Some of the stone is a little darker than we are thinking, but we like how it is laid out.
This first picture is closer to the color we are wanting,
but….
the walls here are more like the style.
Haven’t decided for sure yet, if the roof will be a darker color like this..
and then use a copper roof over the bumped out kitchen window and another arched window with arched roof above the garage doors.
These are just samples of colors not actual roof material.
There will be a small courtyard in the front of the house that can be accessed from the kitchen and a side gate.
We love this stacked stone wall for the courtyard. If you notice there is a planter that runs along the length of this.
We still have a little more planning work to do before we actually break ground. Soon, we hope.
What do you think of the stone?
Have a “rockin’ week!

There is a home here in Waco – I do a lot of drive-bys. LOLOL It looks like a Hansel & Gretal cottage with the stone work – it’s GORGEOUS!!! Ivy creeping up the front and twining in and out of the porch columns… I have to go do another drive-by now. ha!
I LOVE the weathered stone work and the copper sounds FANTASTIC!!! Can’t wait to see!!!

I totally agree that your stone should be ’stone’ colour and not all the other combinations of orange, pink, etc that are just ghastly! Can’t wait to see your house when you are done!

The weathered stone looks awesome and copper on roof sounds great too and will look wonderful as it ages. Love the stone colored tile for roof also. Wish I could see the house when ya’ll finish. Laura’s house looks pretty amazing but she is great designer too. Would love to see wedding photos. Know ya’ll did a great job. Keep up the good work.
