Wood Stains

     Today we picked out the stain for the woodwork in our new house! The house we live in now has white trim so we decided we wanted something different for this house! Although, I would love to have white trim in the baby's room, but not sure how that would look if the rest of the house was all dark. So we are just going with a dark stain for all the trim and the cabinets! Except for the hutch and island in the kitchen. We are going to do antique white for those pieces! The trim and furniture in the house will be pine wood and our cabinets are maple wood. Our builder dropped off samples of his three darkest colors! To me they were SO similar or maybe my eyesight is already starting to fail me! LOL! The three colors from left to right are Walnut Wainscot, Spanish Oak, and Weathered Teak. The top is top is the pine wood and the bottom is maple wood.The Walnut seemed to have a hint of red and the Weathered Teak was the darkest. We decided to go with the middle one Spanish Oak! Can't wait to see what the house is going to look like when they are all finished staining! The appraiser comes tomorrow! We are praying everything goes well, this will be the last step before we close! :)
