Window Color - The exterior of this home is beautiful and the exact craftsman style we are building. We have to order our windows tomorrow. Can you please tell me the color of the windows? I cannot tell if they are dark brown or black in the picture. »

12/12 Architects & Planners - Cinda K. Lester Thank you! It's Hardie-Board pre-finished siding. I don't know the color off the top of my head, but I can look in to it and get back to you.

Are the stairs and handrails angled/splayed outward, or is that just an optical illusion from the camera? »

12/12 Architects & Planners - Cinda K. Lester The windows are Jeld-Wen casement, aluminum clad wood windows. I believe the color is Anodized Bronze (not black). Although you have to be up close to tell that they're not black.

Certainties medium brown taupe siding, contrasting creamy trim, held wen chestnut bronze window, dark stained door and garage. Fake rounded garage.

added by darciekendall to exterior (2 weeks ago)

Color scheme: medium brown/taupe siding, contrasting creamy trim, dark windows, dark stained front door and garage. (All colors are rather hard to assess because of lighting.) Also like: stone pillars w Craftsman shaped uppers (like the general idea--these are too large for my house). Like stone facing on porch--interesting idea. Like contrasting horizontal band trim. Like shakes in top (if shakes on 2425, what color? May want same as primary siding color). Like garage door design and front door design.

added by lesterrenn to Dream Homes (5 weeks ago)

Love the white trim (feels bright and fresh) and the dark contrast of the garage and front doors. Love how the porch works into the overall look. Feels like a good balance of the bright white and dark contrast. Cozy and fresh at the same time. This is the kind of door I'd ultimately like for my house. Wish my house had a wood ceiling.
