I also repainted our interior doors hardware (which was also brass) with a black spray paint. Looks awesome and very inexpensive. I figured what is it going to hurt? It can't look worse. I'm inspired by your project to just do the frames of the doors and windows. I am not ready to tackle the base boards because someday I'd like new flooring and I feel like it would be a waste of time.

Thanks so much for the feature, Cassity! <br /><br />Kim, to answer your question, I used Kilz 2 Primer on our wood trim after roughing it up a bit with some sandpaper. The paint on the trim and door are the same semi-gloss latex in Betsy's Linen by Valspar. I've heard oil-based paints are good for trim as well, but I didn't want to deal with the smell or the mess.<br /><br />The trim and doorknobs are both holding up great several months later!<br />Meredith @ Welcome to HeardmontMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752386941747318451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106620262041679670.post-74850077137878748902011-01-03T19:55:01.241-06:002011-01-03T19:55:01.241-06:00Wow, that is an awesome transformation - well done...Wow, that is an awesome transformation - well done!

What type of primer is best to use on the wood?
