 o
window trim & floor moulding different colors

Help!!!
We are remodeling an older farmhouse. My husband made the most incredible window framing and wants to stain them so the wood grain will show. I would love this except we cannot replace doors right now and they cannot be stained. What would it look like to have the doors white and all trim stained.
We are acid staining floors a coffee color. Should I go with a light stain if we do this. walls are sand colored? I have to decide in the morning..... paint or stain.

RE: window trim & floor moulding different colors

It might look odd, but considering the effort, I'd stain (proudly). Eventually you'll get to swapping doors - reclaimed material, perhaps?. Use some leftovers to test the stain options.

btw

Also, you can paint the doors brown, earth tone, whatever in the meantime.
