We've done it a few times as well. For me it's all about if it works with the floor material and color choice. Personally I love quality molding that stands out, not blends in with the floor. I hate seeing hardwood floors with the millwork stained the same exact color. If white looks better then it gets white, if stain then it gets stained. I do believe that you will not pass through the pearly gates if you paint stain worthy trim from the 1800's / early 1900's. :whistling
