Stain or paint - help please!

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

We have beautiful wood trim, but after almost 10 year we’ve had it with the brown and decided to paint the trim SW Alabaster. For the walls we picked SW Drift of Mist (sw 9166) and SW Gossamer Veil (sw 9165), and for the cabinets we chose SW Colonade Gray (sw 7641).

Our dilemma now is what to do with the doors (see pictures). We’re too scared to do something we may regret. We’re not sure if the current stain would go well with Alabaster trim. The color consultant recommended going with dark stain (Minwax Carbon 409). I personally like the door trim and doors to be of the same color or close (all stain, or all paint).

Is it safer to paint the doors Alabaster also, or will we be ok with keeping the doors as is or going with darker stain.

Appreciate your opinion.
