Hello Good People,

We're in the final stages of design on my new TF home, and I've reached the point where I need to select exterior finishes.

We'll be using a steel roof, clad windows, clear cedar siding, and cultured stone (basement and post supports). The home will also have a fairly expansive deck off the rear -- probably Trex (or similar) and a large stone patio in the front.

We've already built a small home on the property using stained knotty cedar siding and forest green roofing and windows (with deep brown trim) -- looks very charming.

I have a concern about the clear cedar siding and cultured stone presenting too pale and monolithic a palette for the expanse of the house.

I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of books and/or websites that display a variety of exteriors for TF homes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
