Thank you. I really like this house! I have used standing seam galvalume roofs in the past but at great expense. Do you have any experience with the type of metal roof that uses surface screws to attach it? I can't tell which type of roof you used here. My contractor is worried about potential leaking with surface fasteners.

We used a standing seam galvalume metal roof. Exposed fasteners over time could fail and cause some leaking. Standing seam is more expensive but looks sleeker and is less likely to fail.

The chimney is original stone, the other stone is new to match...no finish or alteration to new stone.

The new stone is commonly known as Brown Flagstone/Builders Stone in the Austin Area. Different companies put different marketing names on the same stone, but most people know it as Brown Flagstone/Builders Stone

Front porch - Was there a covered porch when this house was built? If so, are you planning on adding it back on?

Thanks! We chose exactly the same for our master bathroom cabinets but they said they couldn't go over 48", and I'm trying to find an option that will work well with it for a very tall cabinet. You have some tall sections that are kind of what I need. BTW...love your design. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry but the owners already had those chairs, I believe they are vintage though.

Beautiful color combination, would love to know the name of the colors. I see a lot of people have asked this question with no luck. Can any one let me know if they got an answer?

Backyard renovation - I love coming on Houzz and finding houses that are actually a realistic size. Really love your renovation. I see a pool (or just a hint of a pool!) in the backyard. Might you have another photo showing how large that backyard is? We have the tiniest side yard but it has lots of potential

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Dana Miller added this to Home Exteriors Take Color Cues from Stone
The exterior palette of this cottage was completely inspired by the colors found in the stone features. Warm white acts as an offsetting backdrop to the green-brown window trim and rust-orange door. In small doses and with a light background, the ‘70s-like hues feel anything but dated.Colorful front doors that make a statement
Steven Corley Randel, Architect added this to Roots of Style: Midcentury Styles Respond to Modern Life
Minimalist Traditional These first three houses resemble their predecessors mostly in a few details or in form, but are less specific in their articulation. Though this first house was built in the 1930s, it could easily be compared to many vernacular examples across the country. Notice the double-hung windows, characteristic of colonial revival yet lacking muntins (which divide the window panes into smaller segments). It also has a lower side-gabled roof pitch, but there is a steeper forward-facing gable with an extension comprising the entrance, a trait found in American Tudor homes.
