Katrina Warren on Feb 25, 2015I would paint the baseboard, or at least think about painting it. I hate painting trim so I might only consider it rather than doing it! LOL.........Helpful Reply

Raelene on Feb 25, 2015Typically the baseboards, doors and trim is either stained or painted one color. I would go ahead and paint the gray walls and then make the decison with the woodwork. It is possible that a darker shade of gray on your baseboards might tie in your walls and floors, but I wouldn't paint them white. I think it is the contrast that of the bright white with the dark floor that has you wondering.Helpful Reply

Fab and Pretty on Feb 26, 2015When I look at the photo it's the white beadboard that doesn't seem to fit in. I love the rest of the hall, and the idea of grey with your wood tones-great complimentary choice. Have you considered a darker grey tone on the beadboard?Helpful Reply

Laurie Ellithorpe on Feb 26, 2015You should leave the baseboards natural. They won't match the rest of the house. That's what ties the house all together. Baseboards and Crown Molding. IMOHelpful Reply

Kayte on Feb 27, 2015Your doors and trim are beautiful and lend themselves to being 'art'. I would leave it be and make everything else work with them instead of the other way around. It's going to look gorgeous!Helpful Reply
