The whole front is that type of stone except for the white areas you see in the picture. The sides and back are the white color. I don't like the way it mixes with the stone. Anyone have a better color selection?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe a pretty soft mossy/sagey green? With a lighter taupey color from the stone to use as accent on windows.

love the stone

Are you going to keep the awnings white or are you willing to paint them, too?

I had no real opinion on the awnings. They weren't going to be left white. Either they will be painted or taken down. What would be best in your guys opinions? I personally don't like them, but can't really picture what it would look like painted or taken down.

I would take them down. Just from the pics you have posted of your home, it looks like it has tons of charm. Without the awnings, I think it would just add to it more.

I agree with ladybug. I would take the awnings down. The color of the home should somewhat blend in with the stone. This will give it a very rich look. I would pic any color in the stone that would stand out the most! If you do keep the awnings they would need to be sprayed a color in the stone a shade lighter or darker of whatever you pick for the home. Good luck, the stonework is beautiul on your home.

Isn't one of the awnings over a doorway maybe?? iMHO I'd at least leave that one- I hate not having something overhanging a door 'specially when you are trying to get in, in the rain! but I would paint it the accent color (pulled from the stone) If ya want...looks like a neat ole house!

I am with you on this one, a moss or more of an olive or darker green would look great with that stone.

If you want to leave the awnings you could use black trim with the moss green that people are talking about-I agree with that color choice too--try the Dry Sage at Benjamin Moore--LOVE that color.

Black trim would compliment that color and tie in the awnings.
