What a great way to start December - the completion
of the siding of the east wall! |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| We are extremely pleased with the choice of
the two colours for the siding: For the top we chose a photo gray called
phoenix fossil and for the bottom an earthy contrast called sequoia.
They both go so well with the forest green stain we chose for the
combing and the melchers green metal roof. The phoenix fossil
highlights the beautiful wood glulams and decking while the sequoia
grounds the tall lines of the house. It was a challenging decision
given the huge array of possibilities but the bold contrast and rich,
natural tones complement and accentuate our custom west-coast
design. Now back to the issue of the leaking balcony doors!... |
