We are remodeling a 1958 fourplex, and I need some advice on the original fireplaces. The woodwork in this first unit was damaged and dingy, so in order to update the entire look of the house, we are painting all trim/windows/kitchen cabinets white. We were lucky enough to find hardwoods under the carpet, which will be refinished and stained slightly darker.

At this point we're keeping the fireplace as-is. However, I'm a little worried about the color of the wood compared to the rest of the house. The tile work is gorgeous, so that stays. Would you suggest staining (if that's even possible) so it matches whatever we stain the floor? Thoughts or ideas?

The pictures attached are 1. The fireplaces with the new paint. 2. Original fireplace on the day we bought the house. 3. The flooring as-is, which will be refinished.
