If you strip the part that you do not want to strip, is it really a
problem to repaint it?



Yeah, because there is no place to stop stripping other than a
midpoint in the jamb between the bathroom and the hall -- the
hall-side of the jamb is painted like the other hall jambs, a color
the previous owner picked, and the jambs connect to the chair rail,
also of the same color, which joins the jambs. It's all of one piece,
finish-wise. The only real breakpoint is in the doorway.

Phooey.

What if you pulled off the door stop that is in the middle of the door
jamb, stripped the one side, and then put the door stop back?
If the door stop is to be stripped too, then strip that separately.

You're brilliant. I can do that. That'll work just peachy -- thanks!
