Empty-Nesters Update Their 25-Year-Old Home
These empty-nesters decided to replace the windows throughout their twenty-five-year-old home. This opened a “Pandora’s Box” of questions: Should we keep the stained wood or switch to white? How does this affect the rest of the woodwork? If we update the kitchen, do we keep our cabinets? The couple intended to stay in the home for at least the next ten to fifteen years and wanted the changes to stand the test of time while working within a conservative budget. The first question was whether to stay with the wood stained trim for the new windows or switch to white. This was a critical decision because it would impact most of the woodwork throughout the house.
