I am curious to solicit the group's opinion on whether putting oak CM on
painted walls would look odd.
I always thought oak CM would make a nice transition from a panelled wall to
a painted ceiling. But what about a painted wall (e.g. dark) to a
light-colored ceiling? Is that a design faux pas?
Most of the CM in my home is painted white, transitioning to the flat white
ceiling.
Long ago I put oak baseboard and door casing on white walls. White
doors. The oak was raw, only covered in polyurethane. So you could
see the oak wood grain easily. It really stood out. I liked the
look. But I like the look of wood grain. It was not a subtle look.

Me? I'd go for subtle and paint the CM the same color as the ceiling.
Visitors should be impressed by the understated detail, not something that
makes the roof look like a lid.
So says the guy with a 13' mural in the Great Room (formerly the "living
room").
Years ago, the art director, in commenting on book jacket barcodes, was
reported to have said: "If you think I'm putting those tacky stripes on MY
book jackets, you're mad !"

Well - I would hate it myself Buck, but more importantly - my wife would
hate it. Therein lies the decision...

I don't think it really matters much what the opinions of this group are.
You should go straight to the ultimate authority on the matter. Have
you asked your wife?
