Can one stain 'New' Red Oak to match 'Old' Red Oak?
Comments (16)"Can one stain 'New' Red Oak to match 'Old' Red Oak?" This is tuff to do. When we do a repair in an old Vancouver Home I often use some Shellac first and then top coat with Polyurethane. The shellac gives me the aged look or yellowing and the two seam to work well together. Some times we tint the top coat a little. Judgement calls since sunlight and time will yellow the top coat so making it look right now might make it look wrong in a year........See MoreNeed help on a kitchen update with oak cabinets...
Comments (32)If you and your hubby aren't DIYers and you have a large, busy family life, gel-staining your cabs may be more of a challenge than you anticipate. Sweat equity is a great way to improve one's home with little money but even a project billed as easy may not be easy for people who don't DIY. Hubby and I are DIYers but even so, every project takes us longer than we think it will. If you decide to take this on, get sample doors and test your technique first before tackling your kitchen. Love nosoccermom's idea of replacing a few door panels with glass. Have you considered quartz counters? I think Ceasarstone Pebble (medium gray) or Raven (charcoal) would look good (I see gray in your tiles but it could be how it looks on my monitor and not the case IRL).

Instead of polishing the floors, can they remove the sheen - hone them - and seal them? Wear and tear should be less noticeable on a non-shiny surface. Honed surfaces are generally more prone to staining than polished but since the tiles aren't uniform in nature, stains will probably blend in.

Comments (28)Here is a shot in my bathroom. Sorry for the poor quality but the wall color is behr grape leaves, you can look at the color online and it is more accurate than what is shown in my cell phone picture. I had it in my old kitchen with the same golden oak shown in the trim in this pic and I used orange and red accents....See Morekeeping golden oak trim w/updated dark walnut flooring???
Comments (9)I am wrestling something similar except I have hard wood I am staining and adding new to hall way. I feel like I need to use golden oak (my guy uses duraseal). But I was thinking of going a little more brown. Please let us know what you decide. I might check out nutmeg for my red oak flooring.
