Paint door or no?

10 years ago

I moved into this house a couple of months ago. This solid wood door is white on the outside to the hallway and stained a dark brown with a very high gloss (not a fan of thsn a door) on the inside (bathroom.) I hated this door at first and wanted to paint it white to match the trim. Now that I have lived with it for a few months, it's started to grow on me but I'm not sure if I'm just used to it or if I really like it.

One reason I disliked it so much at first was that the previous owner did not take pride in details and he was very sloppy with the white paint. He left a mix of stained and painted trim which I did fix to be all white. So maybe that is why it doesn't bother me so much anymore. I don't know. I tried testing a photoshopped image of the door painted white but I am not an expert at photoshopping so it just looked ridiculous.

Opinions please. Should I leave it as is or paint it?

Thanks everyone!
