Advice On My Office With Pics


This will be my first post on this forum. I am going to try and attach a few pics. I have read lots of great info and opinions. Nice to see everyone helping out! I love the things that can be learned online. The ceiling is v-groove with poly. As of now I plan to stain all the trim including crown red mahogony. Just wanted to see if everyone things this will look ok against the natural wood ceiling? Not sure if it can be seen in the pictures but the floors have a hint of red in them. I done the floors in a tuscan trowel down and stained them. My other question was on doors. I had planned on using wood doors and staining them the same as trim. Would one do that, poly the door and leave it natural, or paint the door the same as the walls and stain the casing? Which leads to my next question. What color paint would be suggested on these walls? They are just primered right now. I prefer a color that is not tan. Thanks in advance for any opinions...

For some reason these pics have spots all in them. Wonder if I got some poly on the lens.

The dots on the pics are dust floating around while they were taken.

Because when you posted here, you said you owned a landscape company. Now your trade says Framing. Either you are schizophrenic, or a DIY'er.

I assume its the latter, so:
