Pretty Exterior Finish Effects.

Beveled siding, shingles and brick are used to finish the ekterior of many houses now. The combination of these materials does not produce a patch finish, but they harmonize beautifully. The brick are used in the foundation walls from grade to the sills, and in the porch railing wall. The sides of the house are finished with beveled siding up to the second floor, and with shingles the rest of the way to the roof. If the shingles are stained some fairly dark tint and the beveled siding is painted some light color or. white, with the window sash dark, the effect produced is very pleasing.
