Thanks Lesley looks great ! Do you have the names of the paint colours ? This has been a great help, we've been stuck on the one colour scheme and this has given us a whole new perspective. Thanks again.

Probably cheaper to replace with new windows unit actually, unless you can sort the seals, etc. yourself. Some new houses are again using the bronze. Just doing a renovation and granny flat which is using the original bronze. 50 shades of grey is starting fall out of favour so people are looking at using something 'different'. Browns like Jasper Colorbond is becoming popular!

I am planning an update for the large kitchen/dining/family area and new paint and floorcoverings throughout my late 1980's house. Looking for advice please on which white to paint my walls and doors to work to best advantage with: - doeskin (mustardy yellowish ) colour aluminium windows/sliding doors (painting window frames is beyond my budget) - jarrah (redddish brown) wood frames to main room doors in living area (thinking of changing these from stained to shiny wood finish) - a few special (handmade by hubby) jarrah furniture pieces to mix in with new styling. -woodgrained pattern vinyl tiles or bamboo flooring - new kitchen - probably simple white kitchen handleless cupboards (something that doesn't date too much) and a light speckled stone benchtop (room has low natural light) Was thinking of pale walls not to compete with yellow of windows or dark door frames and using splashes of greens in plants and accessories, gold and limited black, But maybe this is all wrong. Help please! What do you think? Some paint colours that may be possiblities among others are: Dulux: Natural White, Antique White USA. White Duck 1/8th, British Paints: White Beam Taubmans: Milk Cloud, Cradle White.

For me I’f they open inwards I do edges in inside colour. The stop on the frame stops you seeing the edge colour outside. Same in reverse edges in outside colour if open out.
