My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help with Exterior BROWN/GRAY stain colors

13 years ago
I'm looking for the perfect "milk chocolate" brown/gray family exterior stain color. Any I have sampled are too taupe or way too dark. This is for a home in the Blue Ridge mountains, so it needs to look outdoorsy yet classic and will be combined with poplar bark siding used as accent. Any stain color recommendations?
