To stain or not to stain?

Local designer Tobi Fairley is asking the question of real estate experts,
"what are your opinions on a homeowner painting the stained woodwork in their home?  Will this have a negative impact on the resale value in the future?

Great question and of course, I love all things HOUSE related! To paint or not to paint??!!  I think there are a couple of factors that need to be considered before making any drastic changes inside the home.  What price range home are we talking?  When was the house built?  Is the wood old and outdated?  I don't think painting stained wood is always a great decision, but if the paint job is done in good taste and in a professional manner, chances are you'll be happy with the outcome.  And hopefully, so will your prospective buyers!
