Siding and some interior colors

Here is the very beginning of the siding...one of two colors and four (yes, four!) different textures. The siding is called "Hardiplank" and is a concrete composite. The color is baked in at the factory and is supposed to last 15 years, at least. Yippee! No scraping and painting for a LONG time!

Ignore the dust and dirt all over everything. I am not bothering to tidy anything up as it will just get drywall dust, sand, and rain-flung dirt all over it again!
Here is a view from afar:
Here are some colors and materials we are choosing for inside...natural bamboo flooring (very light colored tile here), fake slate laminated countertops for the work-area counters (those laminates look AWESOME these days!), and a paint color called "Spanish Red" which we may use on the upper countertops and as an accent color in the kitchen:
The interior walls, to start, will all be a light off-white color called "Creamy". It looks as delicious as it sounds! After we move in - and as we find time and energy - we'll paint some of the interior rooms other colors ourselves.
