Persimmon
http://www.svdesign.com

This renovation project began with the screen doors. Warped and rotted, they needed replacing. From there, it evolved into a new kitchen, mudroom, reconfigured interior spaces, and a general spiffing up both inside and out. The result is a cohesive product, complete and requiring only regular maintenance.

Can you adequately shovel this gravel driveway? »

Siemasko + Verbridge Thanks for your question. Yes and No. It can take some skill to shovel/plow a driveway like this. It does need some maintenance when spring time rolls around to replace some of the gravel from being moved around.

What is the name of the door color? Is that benjamin Moore Persimmon? »

Siemasko + Verbridge Thanks for the question! The paint is by Benjamin Moore, but is NOT Persimmon 2088-40. Its a custom mixed color. I believe we started with the persimmon color as the base, and added different variations of colors to get the right hue for this project.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Now that you have a quick rundown of what to expect from gravel, let's talk about the fun part: aesthetics. Given the natural tones of the pebbles that make up a gravel driveway, it is likely to be a good choice next to a warm- or neutral-color exterior.

Entrance - whatever , has to mesh with the stone of the three car garage, (see the YES garage) minimal elevation if possible and lol there's the trick, be a non assuming entrance and if required , only if required, have the spare bedrooms on the second floor able to have windows to view overhead
