They put a charcoal colored glaze over the base paint. They wanted her here when they did the glaze since it can be either more or less, and you can adjust it before spraying the final clear coat. She had meetings Thursday afternoon, and couldn’t be at home when they did It, so they sprayed the clear on my approval. When they removed all the masking, etc., the fireplace did not look good and we both didn’t like it. I told her to talk to them Friday morning when they came back to finish. They had to remask and recover the whole room so they could reglaze the fireplace and respray the clear.
For the cost, we both needed to be happy. The painters were actually really good about it, and didn’t complain one bit. It’s a local contractor in a smaller town, and we have lots of common connections with the owner, so it’s just a matter of being nice and not demanding or being an arse about things. I actually have more work for them on another project.

The light version is INFINITELY mo better than the dark version. I used to live in an apartment, where I could do nothing about it, that had wood paneling all over the place. Hated it!! Just too dark and gloomy.

A crisp Fall day. It's amazing how much better the legs feel when the weather is reasonable.

I might pick the painted look over the wood grain if starting fresh, but I wouldn't go to the bother of changing already existing.

It depends on how light the room is otherwise. If there are lots of south-facing windows, you can get away with darker, but if it's facing north, or not too many windows, no.
My Mother In Law lived in THE DARKEST house. It was on a narrow lot, and had a big church on one side and a taller house and a couple maple trees on the other, plus it had an add-on mud room on the front. And she kept the curtains closed. It might have been tolerable if the walls were painted a nice bright color, but back in the 70s when it was all the rage, she got that 'wood panelling' crap, so the place was like a cave.

At our last house, we spent a fortune in 2005 replacing all of our trim and doors with solid oak. One of the first things the new owners did, was paint everything white. Considering that all things are cyclical, that painted oak trim and painted solid oak doors will be trash down the road.

It’s reasonable to postpone for a bit. I suspect eventually it will be recommended for all. Stay tuned.
