Why was it a fail?

I'd try for black painted window frames, but with a grey drybrush so it looks like old weathered paint. That'd give some nice contrast with the walls.

Thanks BigMike.
I might just leave the frames as the same colour as the stone, now the windows are painted I do kind of like the look.
Here is a shot of how the layout will work.

Can you just draw the leading in over a light 'reflection' with a pencil?
