    Noel Cross+Architects BTW, I have tons of insights, but way too many to share in this format.
    Perhaps you should call me or schedule a time to meet?

    Noel Cross+Architects Tes Margaret, it is a tough process. Which is why our clients hired me, a contractor, an interior designer and a landscape architect to help them make these choices. We requested that several stain samples be made up on the actual cedar wood, and we then stood there on site and held them up next to all the other material samples (stucco, stone, roofing, window frames, copper gutters, etc.) and stared at them for a while and debated. Probably cost our client $1,500, but we got it right. That's what it takes. And, it's been like 5 years, so there is no way that I have that information handy . . . I wish you luck!

    Love the color of the exterior can you please share the color with me? - Love the color of the exterior can you please share the color with me.

    Noel Cross+Architects It's not a paint color.
    It's rammed earth, so the natural color is that of the soil that was used in the concrete mix.

    Railings - Where can I find rail system like this for stairs. Thank you
    · Comment · 3 weeks ago
    Noel Cross+Architects It's not a "system". I custom designed the rail and it was fabricated by a San Jose steel stair subcontractor.

    Stair Design / Iron Design a stair fabricator is the way to go if you want something like this, If your in the bay area ( San Francisco area) and you need something like this , please give me a call, you can find my info on my web site www.stairdesignonline.com

    Joyce Fenner When my son was young we planted sunflowers & supported them by tying to the shed. This summer I have trellises & I'm planting sunflowers below them with his son, my grandson!
