Should I Paint My Stained Woodwork?

 “Should I paint my stained woodwork?”  We get this question all the time. These before and after photos certainly help to answer that question!

We are freshening up this sprawling ranch home with excellent bones. Step One for this project is paint. By painting the walls and woodwork we created a modern, updated  space that is less choppy and now appears bigger. The soft gray painted walls flow from this hallway through the open concept living area instantly creating a clean and bright space.
