When we originally picked exterior colors a few wks ago, we had a very whiny & squirmy toddler & made the decisions as quick as we could based on the very small popsicle sticks we were shown. There were very few combinations available and we started by narrowing down the stone that we wanted first (Kentucky). From there, Rob said he wanted "a color" for the shutters & door so they would pop & we picked blackwatch green. I wanted the darkest siding available, with which that combination only left us with Sandy Tan
After doing some googling & getting to see what full houses (in daylight) looked like with the Sandy Tan, I quickly changed my mind b/c I was really looking for a darker tan as I wanted a more Craftsman style house (which from searches & other blogs told me would be Stone Mountain Clay). We went back to the model this past weekend and re-picked our exteriors. This time around we ended up with the Stone Mountain Clay siding, Kentucky stone, and black shutters & door.
Of course, second guessing myself is one of my
favorite pastimes worst traits and I was questioning my picks again as soon as I left the model b/c I worried it would be too much brown & all blend together (seriously, how do they expect you to be confident in your selections when you're going based on these tiny samples?!). Until I saw
this Rome blog which, aside from having more stone, had very similar selections (including the same elevation). I'm so glad these RH blogs exist, how did we survive before the internet?!
