Beautiful design! A few questions for you..... - A) What is the smooth stone exterior....limestone? cut? finish? color? source to buy?
B) Wrought Iron railing? Finish? Source to buy?
C) What is the flat stone walk? And, do I see an aggregate pebble also?
Thank you!!! »
The typical English Georgian facade with a portico took its design from the ancient Greeks and was used to grand effect in the Pantheon in Rome. A porch is still a practical feature today, although we may or may not choose this formal design.
If your window is long and low, you've got to balance it with a shallow but lengthy window box. Make sure the box extends at least a few inches out from the base of the window to create a pleasing line. There is nothing worse than a top-heavy window over a dinky window box.
