The trick is that your roof is pretty light gray and you don't want the house darker than the roof. Unifying all the finishes on the outside with paint is important, but if the sort of concrete foundation band at the base is what you are calling the red rocks (looks like it could be exposed agg finish concrete but I can't see any stone right off - i might just be blind), then definitely you don't want to paint it.

You can use concrete stain in a gray / brown = taupe color on the foundation. Your trim and your lattice and railing needs to be the same tone - something like bm deep creek - nice and dark since your body color needs to be mid-tone or lighter. You could get concrete paint formulated in deep creek and then add water and wash it for a nice result. Go for something more like bm chelsea gray for the body.

If you want to improve the look of the front you could use the cedar horizontally in the "gap" underneath the bump out / spaced like a horizontal fence (you don't have to close the sides - yes, i see the window) to give it a visual base where it is floating now. Wrapping that entire bump out in the horizontal cedar over some furring on the stucco would help a lot in terms of giving that bump a bit of a modern feel and unique finish that related to something in the back.

The arched gable in the front with the legs would be better in the deeper contrast color rather than the body gray of the house.

Then, since you appear to be in a place of great natural beauty with lots of snow (shovel on front porch), collect some natural carry sized rocks to define a drive and put down gravel and chip seal on top. Plant some low spreading evergreeens all along the road if you can see it from the house. If not, plant them 10' off the rocks all along the house side of the drive at 6' centers - make an easy curve.

Go look at the natural ruts and ravines on your property to see how water flows off of it - any trees you plant, put them in the ruts or ravines and build an earth and rock dam below so they will get water naturally. Make sure any water running to the house has a drycreek rock bed taking it in a specific path around.

This month, order enough native wildflower seed (lupine, etc. - go online and you will find commercial suppliers - here in Cal it is S & S Seed - so call them and ask who sells native wildflower seed in your area if you are not in the sierras) in a large bag and just use a fertilizer trolley to evenly seed all the rest of the "front yard" you might need 3 or 4 20 lb bags, but spread them, and after it rains, go out with a rake, and rake them in so they have a little soil cover. All year long you will reap the rewards - you don't need "landscape" so much as to help nature along a little. If there is any large boulder on the property from the road to the house, that is the place to create a little vignette of plantings - trees and evergreens behind it / spaced out and flowering native daisy adjacent. Make another rock circle around it - it will be a place to sit on your walks and have tea or a cigar.

With these brown grays - let's give your front door a sunny warm buttery yellow tone - bm dijon is terrific with chelsea gray and will play off the warm tones of the wood until it weathers out gray -brown itself.

Use some bright yellow spray paint to paint some yard sale outdoor furniture for the deck out back, buy some bright yellow plastic adirondack chairs for the yard below and voila! Wildflower meadows, a color coordinated modern house in a gorgeous place where you want to be hiking not gardening.

p.s. paint the sidelights like the trim,not like the dijon front door. Only the door should be yellow when they are separated by different colored trim. Use the deep creek trim tone and let the door shine. :-) Native daisies around the front landing / foundation coupled with some more low evergreen should give you decent color year round and pops of echo for your yellow and gray scheme.

Thank you so much for your details. Would you stain the exposed agg or would you leave it red with the greys you have chosen? My out building are painted to match the eposes agg. What happens to exposed agg when you do paint it? Would like to send an updated picture of the front yard where the deck is some things have changed and would really like your input. Would you seal the cedar or leave it with no finish? Again thanks for your input. Don't have any designers in the area so really helpful.

you may need masonry stain for the exposed aggregate block . . post with more photos and I'll come back and review - give me a close up of the exposed agg if you can . .

Nikki - just post them here attached to your post. . .

yes it is exposed agg

What a gorgeous view you have! So, do you feel like you're on vacation every day? I think you can definitely go darker on your home, gray is a great neutral. Here is an idea for you

Paint the base (aggregate-?) the same color. It will unify everything. The, you could go with almost any front door color too.

Masonry stain can be formulated to match whatever paint color you select - don't stress over the foundation . .. Cedar is going to weather out silver gray . . so it works both ways with the warm gray tones I suggested. ben moore deep creek and ben moore chelsea gray

If it were my house, I would let it weather out and then eventually wash it with deep creek watered down . . . so i still had grain . . Cedar to keep its color requires a new coat every year out where you are - so that is a big job.
