To Paint Trim & Doors or Not
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a very outdated duplex and am renovating pretty much the whole thing. I'm going to be painting the walls and ceilings next, but I am unsure what to do with the trim and doors. They are both a stained brown it seems and have held up fairly well over the last 30 or 40 years I'd say. I think white would look much better, but I am worried that's going to be a lot more work and I also fear how well the white paint would hold up over time (they are rental units I know they'll take a beating and potentially chip/ scratch). Does anyone have any advice on what I should do here? Thanks!
