## Community Q&A

**Q: To paint white or not?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We have lots of wooden paneling in our entrance hall. We also have wooden skirtings doors, door frames and staircase. We want to keep parts of the staircase, the upper handrail and the horizontal part of the steps brown/ wood and are considering painting everything else white. Very mixed opinions about painting beautiful wood white! Please advise

A: I would not paint the wood.  Once wood is painted it is extremely difficult to bring it back to its natural state.  why not try a color Instead of white.  Colors such as light olive green, a celedon, a putty color or taupe go great with natural wood.
