Trim

13 years ago

I absolutely love the look of this room! My quesion is this - if I have solid oak trim which will be stained instead of painted white, as in this room, do you feel this look could still be pulled off. I love the clean, calm feeling this room puts out there.

Thanks for the kind words - I think you can mimic the palette and lines but white painted trim & stained oak are very different. If you have not selected a stain I would tell you to avoid the light and yellow options. I would suggest a Jacobean stain. Good luck.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will definitely look for the Jacobean stain color. Have a great Memorial Weekend!
