I hope that at least this is a gambrel roofed plan that doesn't show well in elevation? Because that elevation looks like someone took a 1970's ranch and just jiffypopped the top in the middle. The high wasted pants of stone is especially egregious in that regard. As is the meanness of fenestration for the second floor.

Traci, Just do plain white columns, no stone at the base. Keep everything white, but concentrate on improving the details like the windows, railing, and something has to be done to make it not look like a Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Are you out west or are you doing this in a state that gets snow?

Traci, I have no idea of the white, because I have no idea if it's wood board and batten or Hardie Board which is prefinished cement board. It's Simply White to me. Gosh, by doing your project in plain white, you have no idea how much simpler you can make your life on this build. White light fixtures, white plumbing fixture, white cabinets, white windows, prefinished white trim, white doors, white switch plates, white subway tile..........not kidding. Easy in the long run rather than trying to match crazy off whites.

I have quickly adjusted your one elevation

That house is here on Houzz. I have it and several of those others Beverly posted pinned. I love a white barn house. I'll see if they posted the paint color.

I also agree that stone will not be attractive on your home. Save yourself the money and nix it. I strongly suggest the metal roof. Beverly is right on.

I looked at the source photos and questions and many have asked but no one answered about paint color. But it is a cream or ivory with a white trim.

Thanks, Kris............If I had one more home in my future, this type would be the one. Classic, timeless, has a certain grace and is all American.

Me, too, Beverly. I would love to have one.
