tannerbug Its very hard to identify from this photo. It looks to be a 1x6 t&g western red cedar select tight knot, or possibly a 1x4 T&G clear fir ceiling.. Hopefully that helps!

kathyspointofhue We are currently building a white cedar home, and need to get it to this color asap, who can we talk to about your mixture and how it was done? Love this home! We chose a stone based on the house turning grey and right now the stone and cedar do not look good together...need to hurry up that grey ! thank you

snuzzeroni Are the shingles white cedar? If so, would the 50/50 mix work on red cedar shingles as well?

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Curb Appeal Begs Your Attention

LandscapingLandscaping is an opportunity to extend the feel and character of your home to the edges of your property. Doing this can create a streetscape that's not only enjoyable but valuable. After all, who doesn't want to live on a beautiful street?Hardscapes — driveways, walks, stoops, patios and so on — reinforce the overall character of a house and draw visitors in. So do softscapes, such as grass, flower beds, bushes and trees. Fences can act as both invitation and barrier, depending on your location and privacy needs.

added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Star Home Facade Combo: Stone and Shingle

For terrific curb appeal, stone walkways and driveways are a go-to choice. Blending the color palettes of the stone and shingles really works.
