This backroom (white painted pine) was starting to fall apart. In a few years we’ll likely pull it down for an addition, but for now we want to use it.

We had pressure treated stairs put in last year after the old ones collapsed. We noticed joist and panel rot, so the contractor did a great job repairing it, but now we have a backroom that has the bottom half in red cedar, the top half in peeling white paint over white pine, and stairs in raw pressure treated pine/fir/whatever.

I plan to strip the paint with a pressure washer. The cedar is so nice it would be a shame to paint it, so should I just clear-coat everything, stain it cedar, etc?

FYI, we have a cedar fence that we could stain to match. The back of the house is mostly light (i.e. yellow) brick. The ceiling, soffits, troughing of the backroom is white and the roof black.

Any design advice would be appreciated!!!!
