Everything looks awesome, exept for the color deal people are talking about.
I like what you did with the base being that wooded pattern but it might help the curb appeal to do a common architectural tool; make an entire wall made of stone. In a lot of the houses I live in and near use three different patterns on their house; wooden, siding (which would also be good to add), and usually the chimney side of the house is stone.
By the way, what's the brick count?
And is that a button to start the fire?
