I think there are pictures in the forum representing almost every combination imaginable and there isn't any one combination that pops out in my memory as not having worked. Our interior doors and trim all match and are softer white. On the exterior, is the same. White trim, white door, hunter green shutters (which we're planning on changing eventually). I like it that way because the white is a nice contrast and to me it provides a more cohesive look. I think you should do what is most appealing to you.

After you paint the trim you will be able to tell if it bugs you! My guess is even if it bugs you, it will not be that noticeable. When I painted my daughter's room Ballerina Pink, I quickly realized the existing white molding, which I had not intended on painting, looked AWFUL, I immediately had to paint all the trim a brighter white. Her plantation shutters still bug me.. but I didn't paint those!

I am doing the same as DLM. Mahogany door stained on outside and inside. My interior will have white trim. Wood floors and some stained wood stair parts, and other wood accents to pull it together. Or you can paint your interior door.

Thank you for your input. My cabinets are currently being installed, so I only have a picture of my kitchen in progress. I didn’t mention that I am having Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold quartZ counters. I’m drawn to a crisp clean white, not necessarily a stark white. I was originally going to paint my cabinets Simply White, but I thought it was to creamy next to the white of the quartz counters, and chantilly lace went better. Am I wrong? Does Simply White go better? The backsplash I’m planning will be a “handmade” 3x12 subway tile from Tile Bar, called Lancaster Bianco. I’m attaching a pic of my remodel in progress and my tile selection. I just spent 5 days giving my walls 3 coats of Simply White Disregard the floor. We are replacing that too. That is still TBD. Thank you for your input. Jennifer
