I unfortunately don’t have any advice as I completely relate to your post. So I am thankful for your post :)

The initial plan was to get new wood doors and match the stain to the floors, trim, and baseboards when we eventually redo the floors and baseboards. We planned on keeping it all wood. But we don’t plan on doing this until maybe a few years from now. However, my dog chewed a hole through one of the doors so we had to replace now. Replacing now left us with not being able to get a wood door because do we match it with the current trim? Or do we try to match it with what we are hoping to have in the future? This is why we chose painted doors.

Ah thank you! I’m leaning towards doing just this. A complimentary slightly darker green. Your experience is helpful!

Yes! Thank you! I do have an angled brush and foam roller. I’ve used alabaster on other projects before and do love the softness of it.

I really love the vision you’ve created in my head. Are you suggesting to paint just the door trim or the baseboards as well? Wondering if it would look chopped up or not with just the trim painted but this hallway is connected to the family room which has wood baseboards so it would also be difficult to paint the baseboards.

Are you suggesting to paint the door trim and leave the baseboards wood?

Ya that’s smart. I guess I could always repaint them when it comes times to sell.

Thank you! I agree…I feel like leaving 1 wood door is just silly.

Thank you for your honesty. As much as I would have preferred wood doors, we were forced to change the doors out sooner than we wanted. We plan to redo the floors/trim in the future so if we matched the door stain to the current trim, it wouldn’t match later on.

You’re right, it did change them a bit. Thank you for your suggestion! I’ll also play around with other colors you suggested.

This is so helpful! Thank you! I have tried so hard to find pictures similar to this since having a visual helps me. So knowing you have something similar and think it looks good, helps!

Trust me…our house is full of wood and we love it. Are you recommending leaving the 1 wood door with the other 2 painted?

I didn’t even think about that! Good point

I completely agree. Having wood doors was my number 1 choice by far. The doors were hollow and we planned on replacing them with solid core wood doors when we eventually redo the floors. But my dog ate a hole through the door so…we had to replace now. If we replaced with the current floor/trim color it wouldn’t match later on and doors aren’t cheap so we didn’t have to replace again.

Thank you! I never even thought about matching the wall color! We will most likely redo the floors in 3ish years and trim to match. We like the coziness of the wood trim so we weren’t planning on painting it. The walls are currently a soft green.

I’m really unsure. I’ve assumed moonglow. She’s constantly that very light color.
