Sometimes the window trim and doors are already painted (here many of them were) but if not, we paint those too! Did that in our first house and it took forever, but it was worth it!

I have been debating for like 4 years on painting all of the awful nasty dark wood trim in my house to white but have been too scared to do it because of ONE thing which I must ask! What do you do about the windows & doors? I get you paint the door frames as well but what about all the bazillion doors & the windows??? Any help/ advice would be much appreciated because after reading this post I am soooooo ready to head to Lowe’s for the white paint! waaaahoooo – thanks in advance! You guys ROCK!!! xoxo

Here’s what I would do, if I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted to paint trim or beams (which is a long hard-to-reverse job) I definitely wouldn’t pick up a brush! It’s best to wait to be completely sure, so in the meantime you might just want to keep inching along in the room with other things (adding curtains, art, accent pillows, etc) and see how it feels. If something still feels off the entire time and the trim is nagging at you, it might become clear that you really would prefer it white, but if the room comes together with each update and you love it as-is, you won’t make any decision you regret. It’s all just trial and error with us, and doing things slowly over time seems to cut down on doing things that we regret in hindsight. Hope it helps!

My husband likes the dark wood (looks like your before trim pics that don’t have the flash right on it). I don’t hate it, but whenever I see before and after pics of dark-to-white trim, I’m always relieved at the end white trim result! But I also LOVE your dark painted beams at the top; definitely adds drama. So, how did you decide these things?? And, since you obviously love white trim yourself, do you have any suggestions for someone who’s trying to make the dark trim work in terms of complimentary wall color?

Typically they say trim and then walls, we have done it both ways and they both work, but trim first might be a smidge faster. Hope it helps!

Which would you suggest painting first? The walls or the trim?
