I have gutted entirely a 1920s bungalow in an urban setting. The exterior remains about the same due to historic district. Interior is modern but with same 1920s windows (new to look the same per historic district) and trim. I put white oak hardwoods in that will remain light. Cabinets are flat panel. Dilemma is what whites to use on wall and trim and then white to use on cabinets. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open with lots of west facing light. The windows are bronze clad on outside and painted same color on inside.
