Dark trim sneak peak

[bunnymendelbaum]

I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm LOVING it! Makes the fireplace stand out so much more.

It's beautiful! I'm a white trim person unless its in an older home. Your house definitely should have wood trim!

[mrs.jacinthe]

LOVE. Love love love.

Thumbs up! my friend just put all new trim in her house - and it's stained almost black. I LOVE it. I used to swear I only liked white trim and after seeing hers I changed my mind. This looks awesome!

It is beautiful and perfect for that space and your house.

[davescatch]

That is perfection (in my humble opinion). Love it bunny.

It does look great.

I am pro-white trim in my (1980's) house, but stained trim done right is fantastic.

I am in love with dark trim. Our house has oak trim and Im not a fan. Our next house will have all dark trim! It looks great Bunny!

[bunnymendelbaum]

Thanks ladies!
It is cheating because it is painted, but still, I love it.
Best thing: I hired it out. Gasp!

Your house can definitely pull off that dark trim. It looks awesome.

Ditto. I like white trim, but dark done well is so pretty and dramatic!

That looks amazing. I think the dark trim is perfect in that room.

Very nice. Perfect feel for that room.

I want to see a before!

So it is painted brown? What was it painted or stained before?

It was painted white and peeling. The fireplace was red PAINTED brick (because she had a bunch of chimney fires and the brick was stained apparently.)

Here is a before pic (the worst I could find, HA! With seller's junk. Note the totem pole in the right back corner.)

Looks great, can't wait to see it when it's done!

[sratsey]

I loved it from the first picture and now after seeing the before....what an awesome change! It really does showcase the fireplace and adds so much character to the room. Beautiful.

[SusanBAnthony]

The before is....erm..... Interesting.
