Mixing painted versus stained windows of various shades!

Folks,

From an aesthetics point of view does any one have thoughts or opinions of mixing painted versus stained windows in the same house or even staining windows in different rooms with different stains? Have you built, lived or seen a house like this and does it work or did it look too odd?

In terms of mixing painted and stained windows we are wondering if it makes sense to have white painted windows in the bathrooms and the basement and have the rest of the windows stained. The primary reason is to reduce the cost (I have another post here about that). Or just have the living room and dining windows stained and the rest painted.

In terms of mixing different stains we're wondering if it makes sense to match the kitchen windows' stain with the cabinets, which are dark but have the windows in the rest of the house a lighter shade.

Any thoughts and advise or even links to image showing examples of these, would be much appreciated.
