I painted the guest bedroom Olive Marinade.  It's what I wanted, green and not overwhelming. 


First of all, should I paint the trim and closet doors white?  It's not in perfect condition, the window seal it's has been sun bleached and has some water damage from somebody leaving cups on it. 


Second, what color of furniture?  I was thinking white.


Third, is the light blue quilt set good or should I be looking for something else?


Oh, and don't let the carpet factor in any of the decisions.  Hardwood will hopefully be put upstairs within the next few years.

I do think the doors & trim need to be painted.  White would look really nice, but so would a darker brown color (I think).  I love the light blue w/ your shade of green.  Utlimately I think the trim color should be dependant on you furniture.  That's just my opinon

No, no. Do not paint over the wood. It could lower the value of the house in some cases. Plus the wood contrast looks nice with the green, I think.


I am not a fan of white furniture either. Deep reddish browns or even a chocolate would look good.

I like the wood unpainted.  That color is wonderful!

first- I love the green. It is fun.


Second, i think the trim would look good in white if you want to cover up the water rings and other imperfections. I understand what Killa is saying too though and the brown does look nice but the white trim might give it a clean finished look.

I would prefer white trim. But take my opinion with a grain of salt, because 99% of the houses here have white trim, so I am not used to wood. It looks a little shiny, though. Nice paint color!
