Exterior Windows Design Dilemma

shutters advice needed

4 years ago

Getting new white windows and going to update the trim/molding around windows to white as well. Going back and forth on whether to go with new white shutters to match trim or black shutters and style to get. Want to keep a classic feel so thinking red door w white shutters or glossy black door with black shutters…Any thoughts appreciated..

Will the new lower level windows be the same size or longer? (the lower brick sill is already there; it would do away with the wood filler and they would let in more light). I think white trim/real wood shutters and a black door would be beautiful and classic. Power-washing the porch/walkway and refreshing the landscaping would put the finishing touch on your front elevation reset.
