The first image was from our house hunting trips a few weeks ago now. This house had a dark brown clay tiled roof, 2x2 white wall tile on the eaves and 12x12 white tile around the baseboard of the house. It had too much variety with the texture and lines all working in many ways against each other. So there is too much of good thing for sure going on.
This next photo was from an entirely different house. We had labeled this the adult party house- with its pool room, full bar, oddly arranged kitchen and rooms with multiple doors. There were a number of things wrong with this house. (Earlier that day we had visited the college student party house so this was the adult version.) But for whatever reason I took this photo of the river rock detailing. A person could successfully use river rock but your design should be cohesive but also not excessive like what we saw with the too much texture post below. The river rock cabin feel could have been brought in with some rough sawn timbers used in the ceiling or some detail wood working here and there. What a strikes you? Leave comments below.
