dark window trim and white lap siding

13 years ago

I need advice on deciding whether I can do dark bronze exterior windows(almost black) with white/very light gray lap siding?

Here are some more details:

- windows are the Anderson 100s with dark bronze (nearly black) exteriors.

- siding on the upper section of the house is going to be the Artisian Hardi lap siding with mitered corners.

- lower sections of the house is supposed to be a Portland cement stucco.

- roof will be a metal gavalume standing seem in natural grey/metal color.

- brise soleils over each of the windows on the South elevation

- pillars on the South side that hold up the flat roof and also create a covered terrace area.

The house style is contemporary with some classic farm house lines(12:12 gable roof) but it also has some more contemporary flat roofs.

The exterior color theme I'm envisioning is grays and whites with the dark windows and metal roof. The windows are not supposed to be trimmed out, the Artisian siding can go right up to the window fram and so can the stucco therefore the dark frame is fairly narrow and clean.

I've been trying to find picture examples of how white siding looks with dark window frames - however I can't really find any.

I can picture it in my head, but am a bit worried I can't find any actual examples.

Below is a link to some pictures of the house (hope it works)..

Thx for the feedback. Soesoe75
