    Definitely white because you want windows to make you think of light, not darkness. The white makes your house look open and airy, the black makes the windows look as though they would somehow let in less light. Also, the pediments over the windows are white and look odd with black shutters either side. If you painted those a dark colour also, you really would be closing in the windows. Living in the often grey PNW means that I have a passion for light in homes.

    My opinion too!! There is a house in our neighbourhood with cream-coloured shutters, and so is the front door too. It looks great!! But BLACK ??? ABSOLUTELY not !!

    A tie! I was thinking black because of the light fixtures and the rod iron things but I see your point. I suppose we are just getting bored of the house and want to do something. Im thinking we will be keeping it white and just do something different with the front pots lol

    Thanks for your comments and compliments!


    Thank-You Kay (Kfamr) for the beautiful signature!
