Different interior door styles on different levels??
Comments (1)I think its a bad idea IF the doors in one area are an obvious 'downgrade', like you couldn't afford something nice all through the home. OTOH, if the doors can't be seen at the same time and go well with the style of the home, I see no reason why they have to match....See MoreWeird to have different trim in bathroom than rest of the house?
Comments (8)Can you use the casing from the rest of the house on the sides of the bathroom trim, then do the top and bottom as in your inspiration photo? Then later if/when you would like to change out the trim in the rest of the house, you just cut off and replace the tops and everything would then match perfectly. Or, do the bathroom the way you want, then later cut off and replace the tops of the mitered trim and everything thing would then almost match. I too like the craftsman look and have mitered trim, so the above approach is what we are considering doing one day. DH says he doesn't even need to pull the casing off the wall to cut off the top! Replacing trim is expensive and wasteful, and painting trim is a PITA, and this would be a good middle ground :)...See MoreDifferent wood floor species on different levels-stairs color?

Don’t have any input regarding your colors as I am a fan of super white trim with a contrasting body color (although I do love a crisp white house) ...but...regarding the shutters, you could make cardboard samples for them and have someone hold them up to see how close they will be to one another. Whatever you decide about the upper windows, make sure you use hinges and shutter dogs for the shutters (looks like the architect put them on the elevation). With the shutters properly attached with hinges, you will have more space between each shutter than you would have if they were installed in todays typical way by basically pasting them onto the siding next to the window (plus they will look so much better and realistic). I would also consider omitting the shutters on your French doors. They will be HUGE if properly sized and don’t know that it will be a good look on your house....See MoreE K
