"But, Kevin, WHY did you paint it???" Because I can. But mostly because you're looking at 4 species of wood there. The casing and stool nose are poplar. The stool is oak. The inside jambs are maple. And the paneling is old growth pine. Even though the wood looks very similar when uncoated, each species absorbs stain differently and each has a predominant tanin (color) that only makes itself known when stain is applied. (Poplar is the worst about it) There are ways to make it work but it's way more time and effort than I'm willing to invest.
