Just bought first house and improving it little steps at a time. First big cosmetic project is the office, which we’re color drenching a dark green. (Matte on ceiling, eggshell walls, satin trim). We’re going for a sort of moody, darker vibe for the office.

There is crown molding in the office, which I like and want to keep. The baseboards right now match the crown molding. It also has shoe molding that isn’t painted but matches floors instead.

I know floors are a bit too light for the vibe we want, but replacing perfectly good hardware is not in the budget just yet.

I’m struggling to figure out what I want to do about the baseboards and would love some guidance:

1) remove shoe entirely
2) paint shoe same dark green
3) leave shoe alone, keep to matching floors
4) replace shoe with different type of trim (also either painting or matching floors)
