Board and Battan Siding Yes or No?

The house we have been renting is going back on the market......we have lived in the house for just about 9 months now and we love many aspects of the house like the beautiful lake view especially now and the close proximity to outdoor activities that we love like paddle boarding, hiking and biking. There are some things that would definitely have to go and/or be changed as well. One on top of our priority list is the windows, exterior doors and siding. We would tackle this job right after a new garage/mudroom and master bath spaces get framed. So we have been crunching numbers and ideas and I think we have decided on the direction we want to move in if we decided to make an offer. I envision an organic, simply clean palette with contrast of light and dark with wood tones. These photos are so inspiring and if things go the way I am feeling, this will probably be very close to the style and color scheme we want!
