Your house is amazing. Do you have an outdoor living designer to design the whole concept?

we do not have a designer - we are GCing it ourselves

Here goes my sales pitch. Lol. We can design the whole outdoor living for you and you guys can hire the right contractor for the job. If you are interested let us know. Thanks

That was a simple pitch. I can inbox you more information on what we do.

what does it cost????

You did not like the color options that hardie gives?

I would probably either go with a forest green or maybe something like is shown here.

I wouldn't get to complicated with a lot of colours. I would honestly paint out the siding a lighter shade of grey to blend with the stone colour. There's so much going on with the stone, the siding and the roof shingles all the same size that accenting the siding will just be too busy. The roof shingles look to be a charcoal grey and the stone a medium grey so a slightly lighter shade for the siding will lighten up the house and and create a seamless look that's easy on the eyes. It's all about the undertones of the grey stone and the paint colour should be in the same undertone. Trim painted in white with the same slight grey undertone. There's nothing more beautiful than a colour coordinated grey house...add dark greenery in plantings and hot pink pink flowers for contrast and you have gorgeous!

I would go with cream color (that matches the cream colored stones) or the color of your windows, which appears to be dark red or brown.
