[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do black windows. It already looks dated in the new builds.[/quote]

Why doesn’t white trim look dated to you? Wasn’t that the most common color during the 20th century?[/quote]

White trim looks like it belongs with the vast majority of architectural styles. Black windows only make sense if they're big and steel in a contemporary house or in a tudor. Find me an authentic old farm house with black windows. I'll wait. [/quote]

Ugh, your attitude is the worst. What a weird thing to be so snobby about. And yeah, my grandfather (born 1906) ran a farm in Michigan, I have a photo of his original house he built by hand in my library, and the frames are black - as most frames were back then - to blend in with the iron used on the framing.

You realize you aren’t advising people with medieval homes or Michigan farm houses, right?  They are swapping out windows in a recent build and looking for novelty.  Fine, but novelty=>trendy=>dated, very quickly, which is the only point being made.[/quote]
