need help- repainting all interior trim

7 years ago

I am repainting all the trim, doors, plantation shutters and interior wood frame windows in a home we purchased. The existing trim is gray. I would like to paint it white. I need advice on a good white to use (I am overwhelmed with all the white trim choices). The walls are pale gray and the flooring is both hardwood and light Travertine. Also, what is the best paint finish for trim? (Flat, gloss, semi). We have kids, dogs etc. so durable is helpful.
