Still here. ;)

Why not start with paint in the color you desire?

Kippy, is be spending thousands to paint siding that was going to torn off.

This photoshopping is obviously not a professional rendition, but better than nothing!

Wow, the darker colors look very nice!!

Sorry, could not tell it had siding-too far away to tell, looked like stucco

Have you considered a different style window as well as bronze frames? I think a style with mullions would look closer to the inspiration pics you've posted.

Or----Unless you need to change out the windows because they are failing or you want an upgraded window you can paint the frames.

Mullions do look interesting. I imagine they are pretty spendy.

Anybody else want to give it a shot, maybe using colors from one of the lighter colored houses?

Thanks!

I agree about the windows...double hungs would look best. Also, the little " peaks" above the windows seem out of place. They are too small to add any architectural interest and look like an afterthought.

I wouldn't do double hungs. The windows don't have a good vertical length for double hungs and would look too squat. Stick with casements. Maybe something like this could look nice too, but in the dark color:

I like the triple windows, but don't think I could do the internal modifications necessary. Anybody else wanna give a photoshop a go?

That big tree in front might need to go ...

Good luck. Do you have a budget? That might help people respond.
