Woodworking Paint Windows

white window trim with stained window.

6 years ago

We recently remodeled our kitchen and went with white windows and trim. Our open concept living room still has golden oak trim and windows in it. I was going to paint the window but after looking at it looks like quite the project. And I don’t know if I can take it on. Is anybody happy with white window trim and stained windows. There are some examples out there but I’m not sold on it.

i would have put in windows to match what you already had and were keeping. Are the white windows in another room? If not, then they all should mask. I prefer the wood but, probably too late for that. I notice you have white baseboards too, all trim, should be done the same, whether stained, or painted.

I definitely want to go all white I’m just nervous about painting it. I haven’t painted a window before so I’m wondering how it’ll turn out. Anybody have success stories or tips for me?
