Should I paint the trim around the stairs?
Comments (7)Thanks for all the comments. First let me add that this staircase is not a focal point in the house. It is in the back of the house, and originally had a door at the bottom. busybee3 - Yes the rest of the trim in the house is white. Good point... mayflowers - Yes it is 3" board up there. All of the trim in the house is 2-piece (flat boards with base cap). Some of the original molding is taller. I was torn on painting it white or brown. I thought painting it the same as the stairs/landing would tie it together. So if I paint that white, then I would either have to paint that little triangle of stringer white, or have a little brown triangle there by the first step after the landing. justgotabme - Yes, I thought about painting the risers, but they were white before and I didn't like them. And I don't have a lot of time left to repaint them. We hope to wrap everything up and get the house listed next week....See MoreWhat color to paint wood trim on back porch/stairs?

Comments (23)so i should have him continue the trim along the rest of the baseboard in the hallway like in that picture above? That's what that pic looks like it does to me. I don't know why he keeps telling me that the trim is just for stairs. The other side of the hallway doesn't have trim, but the stairs end into a door frame so it doesn't really matter. It's a weird house... He said he's going to make it right and wants us to be happy because he knows we've had a TON of issues with this house. I just want to make sure I ask for the right thing. Here's another pic. The other side of the hallway doesn't have trim, but the stairs end into a door frame so it wasn't an issue over there. I was thinking if we added trim to the other side of the hallway (it's a split stairwell) then we'd want to add it here too. It's a weird house......See MoreTrim help.... Pics in comments
Comments (5)And something like this although it may need to resolve a little differently with the finish riser and tread...See Moremvcanada
