Adding 500sf to the back of our cottage. The old part of the cottage has pine walls we milled from the property along with the pine clad windows, and Douglas fir floors we had milled from the logging booms from the river. The photo is taken from the kitchen. If you turn around you’ll be looking into the foyer of the new part. You’ll see the old pine windows and the new …? windows. I’m not excited about spending twice the cost of new Marvin pine windows rather than vinyl ones. Problem is vinyl are white. I’m wondering if I should just “go for it” with pine windows, or get vinyl and use pine mouldings to tie in the new part, or use pine on the foyer wall to tie it in. In any event I want to blend with the old and look like the addition has always been there. The lake house has a real cottage feel and I want to keep it that way; rustic but modern.
Does anyone have any inspiring thoughts? I’ve got to giddy up and decide so I’m closed in before the snow flies. In appreciation, THANK YOU!
