Anyone using Mossy Creek Olde World Stone? What brick w/it?

11 years ago

I've picked out our stone, Mossy Creek, but I'm having a difficult time deciding on a brick to pair with it. Stone is going to be exclusively on front, but brick on the sides and back. Would love to see your pix! Thanks :)

Pick stone OR brick. Not both. Both is too many materials.

Front is stone and shake, no brick visible. The sides and rear of the house have a brick foundation, with the shake -- so not a ton of brick showing. (This is being doing this way to save money, of course.) The front does not show both brick and stone.The funny thing is that we're the only ones on the entire street NOT doing a brick and stone front due to the fact that I think those houses are too busy looking! (And these houses are all in the millions $ price range, with very reputable builders.)
