Turns out that I have had to alter my plans a bit. After creating some mock ups of what I had in mind, I realized that my "feature" was actually a bigger part of the front facade then I thought and the color I picked was too light.
So I've decided to stick with the same color, but use two different sidings for some texture. I had to alter color a bit because I couldn't get the two types of siding I wanted in the original color and in the new color, I can't get board and batten, so it will be regular siding with the "cedar" shingle accent in a new blue called Colbalt.
To be honest, the colors are extremely similar, so it is not that different.
I am still trying to decide on the color for the door and am thinking about going with a wooden one instead of a painted one.
Here are the images that have inspired the changes:
This is the new color and style of siding with a wood door. I like the look of wood, but not that door. Too fussy.
I am in love with the color of this door.
See, I told you guys this was hard! LOL
