Inspiration for my new house

Thanks to Wanda (cat saviour who adopted my dear Desi) for sending me this link to a video on House & Home. It's an older home with lots of wood work that was painted out by designer Meredith Heron. YES, PAINTED OUT. :)

If I had a house like yours, I would cry. I would cry because I know that I would absolutely have to paint ALL the wood, even the mantel. Especially the mantel. And I am lazy!!! But it would have to be done, I'm just not a wood person. It will be so worth it when you are done with the work.

P.S. I love how you are doing the trim in a high gloss, I never would have thought of that.

Luckily my mantel already had several coats of paint on it. :)
The gloss trim looks amazing IMHO. It stands out without being too obnoxious.
