The project entails blowing out 2 bay windows and putting standard size ones in place. Problem is we need to figure what to do about siding. The last 7 years we have looked at siding and have never came across these. I've considered doing cider slats painted this color but it's still gonna be an eye sore.

And for those who will suggest it, no I'm not going to reside my entire house.

You're on the right track with the cedar. I searched for cedar shake style siding and came across this product that looks similar. https://www.jameshardie.com/product-catalog/exterior-siding-products/hardie-shingle-siding/straight-edge-panel/statement-collection-colors/

Yes, I was actually going to say this is cedar I think because it looks like a place we rented once and I had no clue the siding was cedar until it got humid and you could literally smell it coming off the place. But also the little birdies would drill into it and live in the walls...which was a first.

p.s. - Do you smell cedar when humid? Cause that's a huge tip off =P!
