Exterior Ideas
Dorian Gray
My preference, then, for newer windows with these extra built-in frame pieces is to paint the outer trim the same color as the sash. It cleans up the entire unit, and helps camouflage the additional planes and edges.
Here’s another example of contrasting sash and trim, but in this instance the sash is white and the trim goes dark. The dark trim really defines and accentuates the windows and also contrasts nicely with the light siding color.
The columns on the porch are eight feet tall and eleven inches square.
The brick is Old Savannah by the Cherokee Brick Company. I believe the mortar is Ivory Buff.
When auditioning gray hues, think about whether you want a warmer gray, such as the one pictured here, or a cooler gray. Light, warm grays have a more traditional vibe, whereas cool grays — especially dark cool grays — will feel more modern. Rockport Gray from Benjamin Moore is a fantastic warm gray to try. A nice cool gray option is Monorail Silver from Sherwin-Williams.
