I've been a painting fool this past week, with the kitchen and trim. We've also been replacing some of the rotten/gross baseboard and casement moulding in the hall and family room with fresh new wood. It's gotten me thinking about how to finish the wood trim. I've always preferred crisp white trim, but stained wood can be very attractive as well. What do you prefer? White trim?

Or do you like stained trim?
I'm painting our trim white but some of the pictures of the stained trim are awfully beautiful. Maybe next house...kidding!
One word...white! Sorry, I am not the one to ask. I would paint my dog if he would sit still long enough.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the stained trim in the photos you posted! But that is gorgeous wood and beautifully detailed trim and molding. Since I will likely never have a house quite like that, I have to say white for my house ;)
ReplyDeleteI can never decide. For this house, we are doing white. It's easier. When we moved in, some trim was stained but most of it was white. We painted it all white for consistency.
ReplyDeleteWeird to see that first picture up there. That is exactly the color scheme I am going for in the family room, down to the cognac leather sofa.
I'm a paint it white kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the Noel Cross design. Love the stained trims :)

We painted our wood trim white...it really was a tough decision, but it brightens things up SO much! If you go white on the walls, stained trim can be really nice...otherwise I find white easier to work with. Just came across your blog and I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteOMG I am the worst new follower ever - so sorry for the multiple comments (delete please!) disqus was giving me 'tude.
ReplyDeleteLol. I was thinking that my computer must have a glitch. No worries. Thanks for stopping by, and following. I'm on my way to check out your blog as well.
ReplyDeleteIts a very great idea to put some paint to those annoying stains. It will make you home a bit pretty that the old one.
