I don't recall this has ever been suggested before and it certainly is not mentioned in one of the endorsed suggestion threads.

I'm afraid this would require development of quite a lote of code. The only mod I know of that supports a mechanism similar to what you suggest is CarpentersBlocks and that basically requires a dedicated block type that allows for random 'texturing'. If Mevans would consider to implement what you suggested I figure he may wanna look at how that other mod was coded to get ideas on how to do this. I do fear that the Vanilla / Forge API code will not allow for simple 'paint jobs' of one or more faces of a block.

Overall I wouldn't say this is a feature that would end high on my wish list. To be honest, I'd not put it on my wish list at all. The mod already adds so many features in terms of blocks, ornaments and other architectural options, for rp-pve-survival-builders like me, that I feel I'm running out of time because of all the micro-management the massive amount of options on has and choices one can make when playing. For this reason alone I'd rather plea for restriction of the seemingly endless inflow of new blocks ... but I'm sure many others would make different choices than me.
