This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

Kalahari natural thin stone veneer from the Quarry Mill adds Mediterranean elegance to the exterior of this stunning residential home. Kalahari real quarried thin stone veneer brings a relaxing blend of browns and some yellow tones to your project. The squared edges and various rectangular shapes and sizes of Kalahari stone will work well when creating random patterns in projects like fireplaces and whole-house siding. The available stone sizes in Kalahari also help you create a non-repeating pattern. Smaller projects like door trim, half-height residential siding, and accents on mailboxes or light posts can all be completed quickly with Kalahari stones. The various color tones of Kalahari stones will complement both rustic and contemporary décors with modern electronics.

Craftsman exterior home idea in DC Metro

2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER This 1970’s split-level single-family home in an upscale Arlington neighborhood had been neglected for years. With his surrounding neighbors all doing major exterior and interior remodeling, however, the owner decided it was time to renovate his property as well. After several consultation meetings with the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, he settled on an exterior layout to create an Art & Craft design for the home. It all got started by excavating the front and left side of the house and attaching a wrap-around stone porch. Key design attributes include a black metal roof, large tapered columns, blue and grey random style flag stone, beaded stain ceiling paneling and an octagonal seating area on the left side of this porch. The front porch has a wide stairway and another set of stairs leads to the back yard. All exterior walls of the home were modified with new headers to allow much larger custom-made windows, new front doors garage doors, and French side and back doors. A custom-designed mahogany front door with leaded glass provides more light and offers a wider entrance into the home’s living area. Design challenges included removing the entire face of the home and then adding new insulation, Tyvek and Hardiplank siding. The use of high-efficiency low-e windows makes the home air tight. The Arts & Crafts design touches include the front gable over the front porch, the prairie-style grill pattern on the windows and doors, the use of tapered columns sitting over stone columns and the leaded glass front door. Decorative exterior lighting provides the finishing touches to this look. Inside, custom woodwork, crown molding, custom glass cabinets and interior pillars carry the design. Upon entering the space, visitors face a large partition that separates the living area from a gourmet Arts & Crafts kitchen and dining room. The home’s signature space, the kitchen offers contrasting dark and light cherry cabinets. Wide plank hard wood floors, exotic granite counters and stainless steel professional-grade appliances make this a kitchen fit for any chef.

Small flagstone patio set behind townhouse in urban setting that is fortunate to have a woodland setting in the real. Patio reaches out to the woodlands to borrow the space to make townhome lot seem larger. Posts on deck were located carefully to allow maximum user space on patio. Deck was part of overall design/installation.
