Behold...
So before we went to work on the deck floor, we thought we should address these so we wouldn't drip on the new! improved!! decking.
We wanted to match the paint around the window frames pretty closely because I didn't think another color was needed since the brick has approximately 300 colors in it - and I thought it would look pretty cool. So while we were at Menards one day I grabbed samples from the exterior window department in brown and matched the color pretty closely with Pittsburgh Paints ULTRA Deck, Fence & Siding Stain- Solid in Oxford Brown (a ready mix color - Woo! no waiting).
Once again, stain does the trick for us. Before we moved here, I would've just gone out and bought a couple of gallons of paint and slapped it on. No more my friends, if the wood has not been painted previously, it's a gettin' stained!
It goes so fast and looks so nice when it's done. The back of the house took about an hour and a half. That's only because we had to move the ladder so many times. So easy.
AFTERS...

Looks brand new, doesn't it? And yes, I know it isn't the same window... |

Here's a side view so you can see how it looks as a whole.... |
And now a sneak peek of the next DECK installment - Redecking (finally!) and Railings...

Notice the siding! |
This project was so easy, we took an hour to stain the front of the house above the garage as well.
