HARD WOOD STAIN SAMPLING

If you follow me on instagram, you saw that OUR HARDWOODS ARE IN!! We’re so excited!! And now it’s time to picks stains/colors!
I’ve been pretty confident with the paint colors I’ve picked out, but I keep second guessing myself of the stains. Funny how when you’re designing for your own home every decision becomes harder .
So being a visual person, and OCD about needing colors/tones complimenting each other, I decided I needed to test it out myself!
Once I picked the color I liked best out of my own samples, I was able to give the guys a selection to then test out on our actual floors! And OH MAN I’m happy with it!
So if you’re wanting to do that same thing (highly suggest doing this) keep reading to see exactly what to do!
WHAT YOU”LL NEED:
WHAT TO DO:
What you see above is (from left to right) golden oak, weathered oak, classic grey, & pickled oak.
We decided to move forward with sampling the weathered oak on our floors at the house. So what you see below is – Minwax Weathered Oak with a Matte Based Water finish – on red oak #1 floors (less tonal variation and less knots).
