Continue the blue siding.

SIDING!!!! Stone there will look very fake

Siding.

Definitely continue the siding, so the house looks cohesive. The stone takes away from the overall look of the house.

The stone detracts from the general appearance of the home. Continue the siding!

Continue the blue but a white brick might be pretty??? Would need to see a rendering to decide though

I love your home btw, so much charm and character!!

Stuck on stone only on the front facade looks like a builder special. Siding only please.

I hope it's a camera trick to make the new roof look higher than the old roof. And spend the extra money to replace the double doors with a single, that should reduce the width. Backing out of your garage next to a flush wall will be very unnerving for the driver on a daily basis.

If you went with the stone you would want another hit if it somewhere.

Whats up with the lonely dormer window on the addition?

Thanks so much for your input! I've always loved stone but we've decided to continue with the blue siding on the addition since you all confirmed our gut feeling.

As far as the height of the addition, they're working on correcting now. It was not supposed to be that way, it was supposed to be a step down from the main roof so we were pretty surprised when it was put it. they added that dormer to distract from it but that obviously is not going to work. Hoping it will be as was planned once they're done. it's been a whole issue and we had to have a big meeting to correct. otherwise the inside is coming together as planned. trying to stay positive during the process :)

And regarding backing out of the garage next to the wall, we don't park in it (and if we do we will use only the left side). Not ideal with the right side, but we can live with it.

Oh dear I didn't catch that deviation from the plan. No that needs to be addressed, your rendering is so much more natural than that.
