We also met Matt at the window rep's office. Window decisions are finished! We're going with Sierra Pacific. They are aluminum outside, wood inside, and so beautiful (as well as good quality and they insulate well). They'll be black outside with black hardware inside for the casement cranks. The insides will be painted...not sure what color yet.
We have the option of going with 9' sliding doors instead of the 7' plus 2' transom windows above. That decision is still pending but overall we're close to done with thinking about windows.
