Kimha,
As Bax stated, this is just the 1st of three stages of the trim work. This week, today or tomorrow the top door section will be installed. Then the crown molding will be installed in the next phase.
No offense taken on the interior design. Different folks have different ideas for different reasons as to what is cool. Personally, I will NEVER paint good quality wood! I know it is pretty much vogue to paint all wood, including kitchen cabinets these days, but I too think it is cheap and tacky. And, I am old enough I don’t give a hoot about being vogue. I like what I like regardless of…. If I were to do any thing, I would paint the wall a darker accent color, but never the wood.
To me paint is for cheap wood and folks that are more budget minded, who don’t want or can’t afford to pay for better grade wood and the extra labor to have it finished correctly. To me good quality wood finished correctly is truly a thing of beauty. There is no comparison between it and static painted pressed wood!
I spent to many years living in houses that were old and the woodwork had a gazillion layers of cracked and chipped paint caked on them. After a gazillion hours of stripping and repairing it, I have no desire to EVER use paint on any of my woodwork! I feel the same way about wall paper too. If I want borders, I will use paint and stencils. Stripping wall paper and re-mudding the wall after words is no fun! I have done way to much of that too.
Any way, diversity is why we have so many colors, textures and etc.... to choose form. It would be pretty boaring if every one all had white houses shaped the same, with the same beige sofa and etc.....
