I vote for keeping it brown.

I like painted trim. if the doors are dark, then the trim around the doors can be painted white too as well as crown molding and baseboards.....look at pictures of rooms of both and see what appeals to you the most!

YES! It's gonna be gorgeous!!

yes, paint white

I vote to keep it brown too. It looks very nice brown, and adds a bit more character to the room.

We're heading to Aruba on Saturday. I've decided to live in the space for one week. They will have it painted SW White Duck and leave it brown for now. We'll make the final decision by the time we leave.

My vote is brown. Agree about it adding interest and character, and to me, it draws the eye towards the windows/beautiful views. It has that beachy, British Colonial feel I love when visiting traditional Caribbean hotels.

You definitely have enough bright light coming in ... the wood trim has a warm, organic feel to keep rooms from looking or feeling washed-out.

Thank you Jinx! I think I need to hire someone. I'm so confused at this point. :( I don't have to make a decision on the trim for a few weeks. Also, it will be good to put my house back together first to get a feel for the trim with my furnishings...I love this site, for all the different perspectives.

That’s a great idea — living with it a bit. I hope you update us! Enjoy Aruba! :)

Do the white trim to unify everything. I would not do that slate accent wall, those have been 'out' for awhile. Obviously if you love it..

You mean the recess? Build it out with drywall, hang the tv, and put a piece of furniture under it.

Can that become a closet accessed from the opposite side?
