I've stripped and satin varnished (medium oak colour) the internal door frames (which actually look really nice) but now find myself unsure what to do for doors.

I fancy half glazed but can't think for the life me what will match the frames. Any pointers? White, antique pine, light oak?

I think you should match the frames (if possible).

I agree with Simpo, though if you have white painted door frames with wooden doors I think it seems to look OK as I've done that (only one door so far though). Be aware that some 'real wood' doors are only a veneer and have MDF underneath...if this gets wet for any reason, the veneer will 'blow out' as the MDF swells. I've just skipped three Oak glass paneled doors for this reason. frown I'm currently looking for some nice solid Oak doors myself now, preferably pre finished if possible.
