The windows are in, so we are stuck with them. Unfortunately, we didn't know there could be an option for white inside/beige outside. My builder uses Sherwin Williams. I've just gotten home from a trip to their store to look at colors since Relaxed Khaki for a trim seemed way too dark. Now I'm looking at SW White Duck, Muslin, and Natural Choice. They all have high LRVs. They seem to work with the beige windows and with SW Wool Skein on the walls. The next issue I want to avoid is having the trim color too similar to the wall color. Do you think there is enough contrast with these colors? Any choices I should avoid?

We just moved into our new house and I do not like the exterior color choices at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not like how brown it is. Thoughts on what to change to brighten it up. My thoughts are to paint the brick in Ballet White. Thank so much!

Oh that is not my house. Sadly a previous owner painted all my woodwork in my 1920 storybook. I spent a year stripping all my doors but quit before getting to the trim when I started my family. your before house is my after dream inspiration. I love crisp whites, blues and even green painted walls with dark wood. Often people use creams and tans but I do find yellow or brown undertones with wood trim dreary instead of stunning. If using a wall paper simple linen window treatments are lovely. Also blue grass cloth would be beautiful in your room! But if using plain paint i love printed curtains and they suit the era of your home. I used a blue/ green paint and went with a printed linen fabric in my sunroom with mahagony doors and a dark tongue and grove ceiling. when the curtains are drawn it almost works like wall paper. There is a 25 pound cat sleeping behind the curtains right now and that is why the right looks crooked. If you click on image you can see the paint color and dark wood ceiling
