Nice windows.

I don't think that they need to have stone on bottom. I didn't vote because either way will work. If you have enough gray, try it with stone on the bottom, it is up to what you think looks best in the end.
It's a Christmas Miracle!

I thought this information mught be useful around this topic:
http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/timber-framed

as well as this style definition:
TUDOR (1890-1930)
The actual connecting link between the English Arts and Crafts movement and the new American home architecture at the dawning of the 20th century was Tudor-style architecture. Tudor Revival has several stylistic variants, including English, Elizabethan, Jacobean, Norman, Old Country Farm, Cottage-style, Manor House and related picturesque styles.

Features include:

* steeply pitched roof, usually side-gabled (may be parapet or false thatched)
* wall cladding (stucco, brick, stone or wood)
* tall, narrow windows (commonly in groups with multipane glazing)
* large, elaborate chimneys (commonly crowned with decorative pots)
* decorative half-timbering
* detailed doorways
* recognizably French-featured interiors

Now I need to figure out some gables ...
