Bob – Thanks for the compliment. The corners are a large white vinyl colonial corner with integrated j-channel. The windows and doors all have PVC trim with integrated j-channel.

Your home looks great. I found this while searching for different ways to trim our colonial-type home. I am about to replace the windows and am choosing to do a full tear-out, rather than pocket replacement. Since I have to remove some vinyl siding I am taking the time to trim out as much of the front of the exterior as possible.

For the corners, did you use standard vinyl corner pieces with integrated j-channel or another method?

What a beautiful home! It’s refreshing to see old-world charm survive AND thrive in modern construction.

@ Alison – I’ve seen a few craftsman style homes with them….and they actually looked nice. Thanks for the nice compliments.

This is such a beautiful home. It’s elegant and still simple and inviting.

We visited Mt. Vernon and surrounding areas a few years ago (before building our last house) and I just fell in love with colonial style and the georgian version, too. And I love cupolas. I’ve even blogged about them. :) Can’t figure out how to include one on a craftsman home, but maybe I can throw one on a gazebo or something.
