Staining the floors

We compare stains, some seem too brown, some seem too pink! Looking from the dining room side the natural light makes it look too blond, looking from the living room side, it looks too dark.

Finally, a perfect match.

Once the selection is made, the first layer of stain is applied.

It has a dull finish as it dries.

After the second coat, it has a bright reflective shine, the final varnish will be satin. We will delay the final step until after the kitchen and paint has been completed.
