I can see at least 2 main colors on the body of the house...a dark gray, and a red/rust/orange. [Modern Exterior[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/modern-exterior-home-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_736~s_2105) by Kansas City Design-Build Firms Hufft Projects But I can see adding a 3rd color like a bright green or an off white. I think the saturated colors look so great on a modern building like that.

I’ve spoken to both window companies in town. One will only do the drop in replacements that put a picture frame of addition edging that eats up a considerable amount of glass area and is only available in white. A horrible option for our home. The other did a home visit and determined we should be able to remove the windows by damaging the stucco, but the new ones should butt up to the existing interior drywall. So exterior damage only. This was a tech who measured and took notes. A different person does quotations. They promised quotes for 2 types of windows, and a recommendation of stucco repair companies. They gave us 1 quote, accept no responsibility for drywall damage, and please call with questions. I looked at the product lines for Andersen, and determined what other option I would like to get quoted. I then called and asked the questions I needed answered, and asked for a quote on the more expensive option. “Sure! No problem!”, says my contact. Her boss, John, the company owner, says ‘no, they’re really expensive... We just use those on new builds... they don’t make gilding windows in that series...’ all via multiple emails through my contact. Andersen website says they make the gliding windows in the E Series I wanted quoted. Now John doesn’t wish to do anything further until I get the stucco repair quote. I’ve got a call in to the stucco repair guy, and have come up with another name I will call today. Typical small town BS. John ‘knows’ 90% of homeowners would choose the option he gave, so he’s unwilling go further. He’s their only ‘salesman’ and doesn’t deal directly with the client. I’m off to Home Depot to see if they have literature and window samples I can look at, and dig a little deeper. You would have thought the local company would offer more service than a big box store.

You do know that the color will need to be tested in your space with all your stuff and lighting. All the pics from someone elses space mean nothing . Get a poster board or 2 and sample pots of the 2 colors you like paint the boards with 2 coats each then move those boards around in all the spaces you want to pint and see how they look. I always suggest cahnging all the lighting to LED 4000K to make sure the colors at least stay true at night when you have only artifical lighting.

Katie, beautiful house. let me post a bunch of photos so you can see what you prefer. Some are w/the stone you've chosen, and other pics are other surround ideas. here is the shiplap w/diff color/size stone veneer hard to find your smaller size fireplace paired w/shiplap and larger stone. I think a smaller stone might look better, but here are options: This is the only large stone I actually like w/this size fireplace. I like it because of the heavy mortar wash around the stone, I like like the silver/white colors, along w/a few charcoal color stones. This seems to be a big contrast. It might look better if the shiplap was painted dark charcoal or black? Or have you thought about doing the entire thing like this? not really a fan of this color or style. meh also meh don't really care for this one. I was trying to find a white stone, but found this what appears to be a limewashed rock, or, this white quartzite. I think I like a smaller, whiter stone if you want to go this route. here are some w/other tiles and marbl.e I kind of like this look, but using a diff tile, maybe a mosaic marble tile I like this option. the marble herringbone mosaic but with a diff hearth. Or, could you have solid pieces of stone cut and fit around the box? maybe a slate or a basalt or a large format tile? I like a dark stone like basalt or soapstone, but you could choose to do a marble of some type too. Shown here w/a dark mantle. ( I think a whiter stone would have looked better) and if you just did a smooth coat of cement or stucco, or even a Roman plaster Maybe some larger, patterned tile? (I'd use a solid hearth tho) this one is kind of cool.
