I'd like to have a stone/rough/rustic effect to my home. How to get it done cheap?

My existing exterior walls are plain and bare, plastered and painted. Culture stone is very expensive where I am, plus I have a HUGE space to cover. What are my other alternatives? Cheap alternatives

    You can get an overlay. Its where a mason spreads a very thin amount of mortar over the wall and then actually shapes stone in it before it dries. Later he will come back, with dyes and paints to color the stone to look natural. I have seen some really good ones. Although this will be cheaper than cultured stone it won't be cheap.
