Would love to know the company you buy your stain from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the light colour of the front entrance beams. Also the soft brown on the walls as it really makes the star of the show "front beams" show. Many thanks for replying as I love your creativity in design. A: We get our stain from Timber Prop Coatings in Portland, Oregon **Q: Siding colour** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi can you tell me what the siding colour is ? A: I am not sure. For this home our focus was directly on the Timber package, we did not get in to any of the other materials for it. Sorry I couldn't help more. **Q: What colour stain was use for the timber frame ?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Timber Pro Coatings is who we would of used for stain, the color used is Cafe. Let me know if I can help in any other way. matt@arrowtimber.com **Q: What is the sq footage please and where is the laundry room located?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi, Thanks for the question and I'm happy to help. The square footage of the house is just under 2,500 Sq. Ft. The laundry room is next to the garage on this plan. The man door that you see on the garage, if you walk in, roughly 6 ft. back from it and turn to the right is the laundry room. In front of the laundry room is an office, so that window you see next to the man door most likely, and behind it is a bedroom. Hope that helps, and if your looking for more direction or any other questions please feel free to email me at matt@arrowtimber.com --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
