Rock: the vote

We have had a hard time coming to a firm decision on which parts of the house should be rock (some is required), and which should be fiber-cement siding (Hardie Board). In order to better visualize the options, I've Photoshopped several renderings. Since it's now too cold to do stone, we need to order the siding and get it going, but we have to decide on a quantity before ordering. Please help us out by leaving a comment with a vote for your favorite. Write-ins will also be accepted. This may be the most important thing you vote for this week.


#1 - Wainscot Only


#2 - Elevator Tower

#3 - Elevator Tower and Over Garage


#4 - Elevator Tower, Over Garage, Jonah's Room

#5 - Elevator Tower, Over Garage, Jonah's bedroom white

#6 - Door and Single Garage


#7 - Door, Single Garage, and Over Double Garage


#8 - Two Bedrooms

#9 - Two Bedrooms and Over Garage


#10 - Two Bedrooms and Full Garage

#11 - Nursery and Single Garage
#12 - Nursery, Single Garage, and Over Double Garage


#13 - Nursery and full Double Garage


PS - There has been general public outcry against the white sections. This house was our inspiration, but their white tower is mostly windows, so maybe the execution isn't quite the same:



And here's a real life example of stone, Hardie Board siding, and a white pop-out we found in Centerville:
