why not sand the paint and then stain the wood? If you want to do the faux thing search on martha stewart I saw an episode where she used a rubber wood grain stamp where you drag and rock your hand at the same time to give the look of wood grain.

I saw an episode of Color Splash (HCLRS-212)recently that did an Arts and Crafts makeover and did a ton of faux woodgraining in a couple of different rooms. They used painted a yellow ochre color, used the woodgrain stamp and then went over it with a glaze. It really looked pretty good (and easy).

I'm getting ready to paint my master bedroom and my interior doors, window sill trim and baseboards will need to be treated to get rid of that horrid builder's white...
You can use the woodgraining technique on all your trim... the simple technique using just a brush, (no wood graining specialized tools) works perfectly for trim as well as "no grain" doors.
