A stately Victorian home gets a new look by totally shifting the level of contrast.
If windows can be considered the "eyes" of a house, a dark accent colour on the sashes draws attention to them just like eyeliner. Additionally, the support columns on the fabulous wrap around front porch were treated as an accent instead of primary trim to help draw attention to them, accentuating the shape of the porch and tying them in with the lamp post.
