I almost painted our dark wood trim… and now I’m so glad I didn’t. When we first moved into our 1920s home, the dark wood trim felt heavy and overwhelming. I’ll be honest, I almost painted it. But living with it over the years has taught me a few things… Dark wood trim isn’t something you fight. It’s something you design with. It adds depth. Warmth. History. And when you learn how to work around it, it becomes the very thing that makes a home feel grounded and timeless. These are some of the things I’ve learned after eight years of living alongside it. And now I can’t imagine this home without it. If you have dark trim, tell me… do you love it, tolerate it, or are you still trying to figure it out? Save this if you’re working with wood trim in your own home. - DarkWoodTrim HistoricHomeStyle OldHomeCharm CraftsmanHomeLove TimelessHomeDesign
