Adding the raisin colored trim removes the harsh contrast of the white against the brick. It also brings out and accentuates the browns and purples in the brick. The addition of the cedar shingles gives some organic warmth. You can also see the effect of the color change to the entryway. The beautiful period oak door now looks larger, and the wood looks brighter against the dark trim. Lastly, we added glamour and uniqueness to the home with the decorative copper trim.
