Housing choices

I have been working hard on choosing options for our new home. I picked out the cabinets, granite, hardwood stain and carpet yesterday. Now I have to pick paint colors for the interior and siding colors for the exterior. Kevin and I talked about going dark....a natural clay color was our first choice. Then I drove by and saw a house with green siding and tan trim.....craftsmen colors. Surprisingly, I really liked it. So I came home and played around on the manufacturer's website picking different siding options. Here are my top three. Look them over and let me know which on you like. You need to visualize this house without the upper-story. Here is a drawing of our house.

This is option one: Natural Clay siding with Natural Clay corner trim, white trim around the doors and windows, white porch rails black shutter, black door, black roof and a white garage door.

This option two: Cypress siding with white trim around corners, windows and doors, white porch rails, black roof, black door, black shutters and a white garage.


This is the third option (currently my favorite): Cypress siding, cedar/tan trim around the corners, windows and doors, porch rails will also be painted the same color, black shutters, black door, black roof, white garage door.
