Yes, I lived for years and years in a house that was all brick at the bottom, third of way up, and stucco (white) to the roof. One gets so used to seeing it and remembering it like that. The new owners changed the color of the roof shingles, and then covered the entire place with grey siding, including covering the door that faced the road.....and garage. Yep, they have to make the place "their own".
