Hi Rosewest!

Your new homse sounds like it will be wonderful, cozy and full of character. I looked up all of your finished and I don't think there is anything wrong with the harmony of what you chosen. My personal preference is to have the trim be more "contrasty", and for that reason i would have gone SW Divine White for the trim. On my monitor SW Divine White reads soft and creamy which would be a wonderful contrast to what you have chosen but still be a warm color to compliment the bronze and SW latte.

Just curious what the designer said about the choice of SW Softer tan for the trim?

The good thing is that paint is one of the easier things to change, so if for some reason you don't end up liking what you have chosen you can change it. Try not to stress too much...have fun with your project!

I'm a person who prefers that the trim is in the same tone but lighter than the walls.

The designer was very helpful in guiding me and I loved most of her suggestions. However, the trim color selection was almost dead-last after 3 hours of making so many decisions and I was tired and overwhelmed and we were actually in a bit of a hurry to wind things up. I just made my trim paint color selection quickly from about 20 choices and handed it to her. She didn't comment and just said OK and wrote it down, which is probably why it's one of the selections I am most unsure about. The last few decisions were kind of rushed and I have questions about almost all of the last ones we did. But the trim color is kind of a big one, since all of the interior doors and the stairway spindles as well as the baseboards, etc. will be in that color. Based on recommendatons here, I'm thinking I prefer SW Kilim Beige, which is two colors lighter on the same paint sample strip as the SW Latte, or the Divine White, which is 3 shades lighter on the same strip. Softer Tan might be a little greener and not as warm. What do you all think?

You might consider calling back the designer and asking her opinion on the trim colo. She has the most context about all of your other materials. I would go Divine White, but, that's just me. My house is full of off-white creamy trim and I love that contrast look.

My DD has a prairie style home and warm exterior colors--definitely earthy. They chose a warm color for the interior walls of most of the home that sounds similar to Latte. Since their windows are white, they decided to go with white trim, and it looks really great. They have white interior doors and very dark wood floors, so the contrast of the trim sets the floor off nicely. They used a dark stained wood stair rail rather than white, but they has no spindles.

Aha! Thanks sujafr! The vinyl windows are almond and I think I may try to match the trim closely to that...We have white in the house we're in now and DH wants something darker next time so that may work for us. I will call the designer, andreadeg, and ask her opinion on the trim colors. You're right about her having the whole context and bigger picture and she made very good recommendations on everything else. She did steer me away from SW Macadamia to the SW Latte, saying the Macadamia would be too green and the Latte warmer. I think she'll have an opinion about the Softer Tan as well.
