House Project Trim Question!!

We are gutting a house that was built in 1912. We are gutting it down to the studs. I have a dilemma. :) I LOVE LOVE white trim around windows..floors and ceilings. My hubby doesn't want to ruin the look of this dark wood that surrounds the pillars. Any opinions out there in blog world on if I can paint all the trim white and leave the pillar section stained like it is?

The white wall in the picture will be coming down. I plan to have chocolate brown walls for the living room which is the first picture. And golden yellow walls for the dining room (the room with the lovely flower wallpaper.
