Hi, Jill, from another Jill :) …..

I’d try to edit this thread to tag them, or delete this thread and start a new one tagging those boards.

Ok, thank-you!!

People call me Jilly as well! 🤗

I would stain them. Remember they are pine, so you need to use a conditioner on them, before you stain, so they dont get blotchy. The doors are beautiful , and if stained correctly, will look fantastic.

Stain them

Stain - wood is too beautiful, and also the space will look more visually cohesive and less busy if same color as trim. IMHO skinny trim like that does not really benefit from being emphasized.

It’s going to be hard to stain to match the trim (is trim stained or painted?). The trim doesn’t work too well with the floor color, or maybe it’s just the lighting. If the trim is painted are you willing able to replace the trim and stain all at the same time?

Grain matching by Stevie Wonder. I would paint.

I would paint the trim to match the walls and clear coat the doors if you like the rustic feel.

I may choose a green for the trim and leave the doors clear coated.
