Q: My husband and I are building a new house. We are putting hard wood floors in every room except the kitchen and bathrooms. We are putting in cherry color floors. Should I do the oak doors and all the molding in the same color?
A: I would tend to think, if you are using the same species for the trim, then you should go the same colour. However, keep in mind that if at some future time you decide you want to change the colour of the floors, the trim will be much more difficult to deal with.
