For the foyer and up the stairs I am leaning toward a creamy color like BM Philadelphia Cream but am looking for other suggestions there. Based on the other colors you mentioned above, check out BM Mascarpone for foyer & stairs. (#AF-20 in the Affinity line. But can be mixed in their standard line, just had it done.) It's a soothing rich cream, lots of body without going yellow. Very versatile color.

Moni, just navigate to the GW Forum List on your iPad. When there, you should see a "Sign In" button in the upper right corner of the page. Ignore the green confirm your account button; you've already done that. All you want to do now is sign in. Let me know if you need a screen shot of that. You will be presented with a page to enter your username or email address and password. That should get you in.

Pls provide a cleaner set of plans when possible. I magnified what you provided but could not see the detail needed. So a few questions... 1. I understand removing the 3 posts so the wraparound deck is going away. Is he reducing the price for this change as that does result in fairly good savings? 2. What is he cantelevering? You said INTO the house. That is not so much cantelevering as it is sistering joists going back into the house. A cantelever is an unsupported area that extends beyond the location of the last support i.e. the posts. Usually code does not allow for roofs above the cantelever area & they usually don't extend but approximately a max of 2 feet. Hopefully he is not saying he will cantelever from the outside edge of the screen porch further to allow for the wraparound deck. 3. If you just paint the treated lumber arches, rails, & posts be sure to wait a minimum of 6 months for the lumber to dry out. As far as recommended wrap trim materials there are plenty ranging from regular lumber, prime treated lumber (which you need to let dry prior to painting), trim board primed finger-joint, to TruWood, HardieTrim, AZEK PVC, Miratec, & other vinyl options, etc. Just go by Home Depot or Lowes & you can see the price range for these type products.

Your window is more like 6 feet across...looking at the size of the doors and room. So four feet wouldn't be too small...however, that's massive so you'll have to get one as side in diameter as you can. I think the one above (top right) has more presence than the lower one. I think you have another thread going on this topic? I didn't look but maybe you can ask there, too...
