Different strokes for different folks in different areas, I'm sure not a lot of people in your area would want an1863 stone/stucco house but in my area that's what is desired
OP is in CA, so he's probably better taking advice from more contemporary areas of the country than mine.
What may not have been obvious in my post or pictures though is that in 3+ years with virtually zero maintenance other than the cleaning woman every week (I think she uses Fabuloso and a scrub brush - that's what it smells like after she leaves), the sheets of marble on the shower walls and the marble floors are holding up and looking as good as the day they went in, and I wish they wouldn't.
