The client enjoys finishing, so she's going do the stain or faded
paint finish of her choice, and pick out handles.

Some thoughts: White ceiling and trim, blue left wall, pinkish floor
(or is that carpet, reflecting that pinkish hue?) and the closet
wall has a (raw wood) weathered look (gray stain/paint paneling?).

Finishing those doors in a different color might make the room
chaotic, color-wise.

Did she ask your opinion as to finishing? Do you know if the client
will try to match the weathered look, before topcoating/painting?
Soaking steel wool in vinegar will produce a solution for weathering
those doors, to match its wall (....*test some applications on
scrap). Maybe she'll repaint the wall to match whatever door color
she decides.

Looks good. Good job.

Thanks, Sonny.

She has her own ideas for the color scheme in the room, which includes
(IIRC) repainting the walls.
The paneling came pre-finished like that and she loved it. She wants
the doors to be something different, for high contrast. I considered a
burnt wood finish, but it would've run up the labor costs.
In my opinion that kind of paneling with corner trim looks "mobile home"
enough on its own. If the doors matched, I think it would look way too
trailer park.

The existing trim crown and base were white and the added molding was
primed white. I don't know here painting plans for the trim. Carpet is
beige and yes, getting pink hue from reflection and camera artifacts.
