I've recently installed faux stone siding on my front porch, and I can't shake the irritation I feel from the seams. It's driving my OCD nuts, and I'm debating whether to just redo the whole thing with real stone or find a way to manage my feelings about it. I've included some pictures of the siding and the before state, which you can check out here: https://imgur.com/a/ZNYYwPb. Can anyone help me calm down and give some advice on whether I should just live with it or go for a full redo?

Honestly, when I looked at the pictures, I had to really focus to see what you were talking about with the seams. Most people probably won't notice. If you're super bothered, you could look into adding some artistic touches with paint or stain to lessen the seams' visibility. But if you do decide to change it up, that’s totally your call; it’s about your comfort in your own home!
Hey there! I totally get the struggle with those seams on the panels. My advice? Maybe consider planting some taller shrubs or bushy plants in front of it. It'll help break up the visual lines and make those seams way less noticeable. I don't think it's worth tearing it all off and starting over; you’ve got a nice look overall!
I think the key here is weighing the costs. If it was a DIY job under $1000, it might not be worth the money to fix now. The value added to your home is already there. Just make sure it's something you can live with. Maybe focus on some decor or landscaping to draw the eye away from the seams. You got this!
Good point! That’s probably the best plan and will keep costs down too.
Yeah, that's a solid suggestion! Adding plants can really help with the visual appeal.
