I painted my egg carton stone wall. I was scared to do it because i didnt know if i had artistic ability to make stone look realistic. But im happy with how it came out, even though i know i need to improve my technique. Now my internal debate is should i add grout and try to keep it same slate color? Or leave it? Or grout with a different color? I was to figure it out before I add the chimney, which I plan on using the same stone as the foundation (I hope).

I would leave the stonework as it is. It is quite realistic. Good job!

The stone already looks grouted on my monitor.

I agree - the stonework looks  realistic and grouted.  I esp. like the texture and color variations you achieved.

Grouting could lessen the 3-D effect. I agree with the others and think it looks fantastic as is.

Great stonework.....Such a perfect touch.  By the way love the L shape of this house.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm going to leave well enough alone and not add any grout. When I do chimney I will try to get stone a little closer.
