LIVING ROOM AND MORE OAK
I have mentioned it before and I will mention it again(and probably in the future) that our house is filled with oak wood. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against oak but my problem is the color... 80's yellow oak! It is so glaring and it outdates the house significantly. So the question is paint or stain? I chose paint only because I like the clean look of white. After having the kitchen cabinets painted, I hired the same painter(Bob) to do my living, dining and family rooms. Today, I am sharing some picutes of our living room.

you did GREAT, babe. I took my livingroom chair rail down, too. big improvement. As for painting all the trim, I even painted our handrail on our stairs. It was that same oak, maybe a little darker. I used a high gloss black. much better!
your setup is similar to mine, except yours is about twice the size--love it! my kitchen was full of oak too, and i had everything painted. i love the way your living room looks--great job.
