Stained windows with White Trim...and doors?
Comments (6)Our interior doors are white. Our exterior doors are stained. Windows are stained. Upstairs, trim is white. Downstairs, trim on exterior doors/windows is stained. Baseboard and interior door trim is white. Upstairs: [Craftsman Bedroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/craftsman-bedroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_715~s_2116) by Walnut Creek General Contractors Bali Construction Downstairs: [Traditional Kitchen[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2107) by Seattle Architects & Designers Bosworth Hoedemaker Unfortunately, neither of these is our actual house :-)...See MoreWhite Door/Window with Stained Trim
Comments (4)The only negative affect of going all white except for the outside trim, is that the combination will highlight the fact that your trim is the bare minimum. Personally I don't think this is a big deal. I don't think anyone is going to walk in your house and be struck by the fact that you have thin trim. Surely there will be nicer things in the room to draw attention away from the trim....See Morewindow trim white, baseboards and doors oak?
Comments (2)1. I've included a link so you have a visual of dark baseboards and painted window trim. I see no reason you can't paint only the window trim. If you decided to paint the baseboards then I'd go ahead and paint the door trim also. My house is all white trim & baseboards with stained pine doors so I know how great the look is! :~). 2. Your doors and trim may only need a good cleaning, a touch up with stain and then sealed. Replacing will be much more expensive and labor intensive than just painting. If you decide to paint them, talk to someone at a paint store (not a big box) and ask about the products they now have that you can use instead of sanding. If the surface has really shiny finish then you'll probably need to do some light sanding.

Comments (9)What quality wood type would you recommend to stain and replace the trim and baseboards if our floors are oak? If we are going with stained wood I don't want a grain that is too busy that fights with the grain in the floor. Also, what color? Should we go with a dark java colored stain to pull out the darks in the wood floor or a color that is close to the floor color?...See MoreRelated Professionals
