| Fypon's site offers several options, but I have no idea how to determine which is the best scale for our house. Any suggestions how to go about doing this? thanks. |

| I would defer to your architect on this one! There is much that is tricky about that - size/scale etc. |

| I would also consider getting a copy of Get Your House Right by Marianne Cusato et al. It's full of examples of how to get classical detailing right. |

| Thanks, we have that book and it was awesome when designing our house, but it got packed away by accident. I'll have to search for it. Thanks for reminding me!!! |
