Need help with Simonton windows for new construction
Comments (2)I would stay with The Brickmould 600; the sash on the window is more attractive than the ProFinish Contractor assuming you are installing double hung windows.

Just in general, grey white and rust is a complementary color scheme with white curtains and see rug ideas below (try Ikea for both). Accessories, tables, etc will play a big role in completing the room, as well as decorating the fireplace. If possible, changing the mantle would be a nice addition....See MoreShellie D
