I would suggest going with a different and more complementary stone inside.

My stone on the outside of the house is "rattlesnake" from Stevenville Texas. The inside fireplace the same as are two wall columns. Above the stove vent I used a simulated stone as close a match as possible to the real stone, in 10 years no one has noticed or commented that they were different.

My feeling in general is that with a casual house, historically, it would have been built using the same stone for the foundation and chimney. Likely whatever was at the site, for a lodge.

So my tendency would be to do the same here.

What the heck is a craftsman lodge style ranch?

"...craftsman lodge style..." "...farmhouse modern..."

It's a crazy world out there...! :-)

We have natural (not manufactured) stone on the whole 1st floor of our 2 story home in shades of gray and tan with sparkley mica flecks. We used the same stone on our full wall fireplace with a built in wood box. Everyone compliments us on the choice, and the variety of tones in the stone make changing decor rather easy. We built the home over 40 years ago and have changed paint colors and furnishings several times. I love decorating around the stone and grout colors with seemingly endless possibilities. Most important, the interior stone has never looked dated even after all these years. IMO you should choose a stone you love and then go with it both inside and out.

Actually if you Google it, a fairly consistent array of recently designed houses come up.

Historically, it would be something like this:

Honestly I am not sure anybody who is building anything right now is in a position to throw stones as to what something is called unless they are building a copy of something that already has a recognized name. Other than that, everything that is being built is "contemporary eclectic" which is such a mixed bag as to be a meaningless description.

It's great when the design of a home it all-encompassing. I would try to use the same stone inside and out. It shows forethought.

Good point Pal. From now on I'm just going to say mine is craftsman influenced.

Thanks to all for your feedback.

We went with the same stone inside and out and we love it, so glad we kept it the same.

This is a good question. Our exterior stone is going up now and we recently decided to do the rear porch fireplace in the same stone since you can see both from back there. The interior fireplace stone may be different - haven't decided yet - but this gives us food for thought. Thanks.

Dbrad I think either will look great, our layout is one that the outside and inside do feel close. We have a lot of big windows and stone on several exterior porch pillars that can easily be seen from inside the home. Also you immediately walk into great room and see the tall fireplace, and can also see the fireplace from the porch. Now that both are done we are so pleased and it really feels like the 2 spaces are connected. But we also live in the country so we will likely have minimal window treatments blocking the windows. Good luck!

We are building our home. Partner wants round fieldstone, I want the more flat cut limestone. We have compromised. He is getting the round fieldstone on outdoor fireplace and chimney. I am getting the flat cut limestone for inside fireplace and some walls. The round stuff looks like boobs
sticking out of the wall in my opinion. I cannot get that vision out of my head. The stone colors are the same. Scandinavian style home, set out in the country.
