Finally completed another small project: painting the window sashes.
I’ve really been loving the look of black windows lately, especially in a room as light and neutral as ours.
Also, I’m in love with the windows themselves, they are one of the only architectural details the previous owners left intact (they didn’t even keep the original trim around the windows). But, because of privacy issues, we need sheers on these windows. Painting the sash dark allowed you to see more of the pretty window even with the sheers on.
The color is not quite black, it’s actually a very, very dark purple. Martha Stewart’s “Weathervane”. I plan on using small touches of the color throughout the house to keep it all tied together.
As far as the rest of the room goes, we’re having some minor issues with trimming the front door, but that is the only project we have left. Well, we still need a light fixture too, but that might take some time. The plan for the reveal is Monday, whether it’s “finished” or not!
With the style of windows you have the “black” is very nice. I might not have had the courage to paint them dark, but it looks really good.
I love painted windows. I read somewhere that it’s like mascara for your windows! Defnitely going to give this a try to our new place when we move in!
