What color for my trim and window boxes?

Wow Catherine- loving how this is all coming together!

Looks great, Catherine!

Just an update. We still need to paint some of the trim (leaving the window trim white), and the log shiplap has to be addressed--but that will wait until next year. I'll consider Tybee's oyster suggestion and FloatOn's suggestion to paint the mudroom and outbuilding the same color as the window boxes, although I'd like to keep the cedar shingles natural if possible--in my best case scenario we eventually replace the log with cedar, as I have always loved the New England cottage look.

But here are the finished window boxes. DH did a nice job, although one of them is a little wonky. But he worked so hard on them, and he tires easily these days, so I can certainly keep my mouth shut and be super-grateful that I actually have these window boxes! I went with creeping jenny, coleus, and purple and white petunias.

Oh, and while he was at it, he painted an old Adirondack chair that was left behind and falling apart. He replaced a broken slat, secured the wiggles with screws, and painted it the same High Tide.

Good choice! I loved the chair scene for its pure sense of serenity. Enjoy.
