cabinets different wood/stain than trim/doors? help
Comments (2)Your cabinets do not have to match your trim. In fact, it's much better if it doesn't. Contrast is good. Maybe a painted vanity or espresso? As far as painted trim, it might be a bit more work to keep tidy if you paint it white, but it's really easy to repaint and have look brand new. But, nothing says you have to paint it white. It can be painted an espresso brown, or a saddle brown and give you the effect of stained wood from 10 feet away. Plus painted is about a third of the cost of stained oak trim. Stain grade wood is darn pricy, and it hits you again in the pocketbook at finish time because it's a lot more labor to stain and finish. If you are on a tight budget, stained trim would be one of the first things to go....See MoreColor for garage doors? Siding: SW Foothills Trim: SW Aethestic White
Comments (4)I appreciate your brick and think it looks nice. There are so many threads on these forums about painting brick. If you do paint it, there's a product called Romabio I know nothing about (LOL), but it's recommended so often by experts, that I know that's the stuff you're supposed to use on brick. However, I think your house looks quite nice with the brick!...See MoreCloset doors a different color than bedroom and bathroom doors?
Comments (4)There are people who choose stained doors with white trim throughout their house. It looks ok, but not a choice I would make. I also wouldn't start mixing stained and white doors in the same rooms, unless you are really good with design and being able to make it look intentional, and not like you ran out of white doors.

Comments (2)You have a very beautiful and big house. I really like it. It seems to me that the new garage doors should be beige. This color will be ideally combined with both white windows and brick facade color. I recently also ordered the installation of new garage doors of the easyfixnashville.com company. The guys are professionals; they even helped me find the perfect gate for my garage. It was high time to do this because my old garage doors were not automated, and it was very difficult for me because of this. In winter, it is especially difficult when it is cold to open and close the garage doors manually....See MorePPF.
