What stain color is "in" for hardwood? - New hardwood floor. What r the current stain "in" options? »

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID Hello Abundance,
Since a floor stain is a long term committment, i wouldnt necessarily go with what is 'in' right now, unless you have a generous allowance, would not mind refinishing your floors in 5 years, or have no plans to resell in the near future. What should be considered is the species of wood? Some hardwoods, like oak, will take a stain better than other. Your built-in cabinet color-stain or painted? Your furnishings-traditional or contemporary? Daily maintainance-pets? Kids? Finally-budget. Most builders will charge a standard per square foot cost for standard staining. A stain that would be considered out of the realm of standard would be charged as such. Now, back to your question-a beautiful French Oak finish (
) would be my pick, if I had open floor space where it could be appreciated.The species of wood does affect the color. What ever you do, test the color on your wood species.
Hope this helps your decision-
Lorraine

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID Stephanie,
I had a professional decorative artist (faux finisher) do this. She had a reverse laser stencil made in the pattern, then pounced on the silver metallic paint, She also painted the ceiling in silver.

WHO MAKES THIS SINK AND WHAT SIZE IS IT »
· Comment · 15 months ago
LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID Storage is definitely a concern in a bathroom that is used often-master, guest, children. I would only use one in a powder room if they are really great looking and make a statement, like this one. They are usually too small and generic for my taste.
The mirror was purchased from a catalog no longer in business.

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID This fab mirror was left with the house when we purchased it! I had it silver foiled to go with the wall paper. That great hanging light fixture was originally in the breakfast dining area! Originally located in different rooms, I combined them in this small powder room for the 'Wow' factor. I always propose a special effect that is a departure from the rest of the home. It demonstrates the contemporary decor of the home before I redirected it to a comfortable transitional look.

Create something unexpected. Powder rooms are great spaces for a little experimentation to come up with a design that is truly special. The traditional damask wall covering and traditional pedestal sink are paired with a contemporary light and this striking silver-leafed mirror frame. This is a perfect way to greet visitors.

3. Shiny details can create a "wow" moment even in a small space. Distract from how small a space is with shiny details. Change out the mirror in a powder room with one that has a frame that sparkles, use wallpaper with a shiny texture or change out fixtures to glitzier ones.
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Crown Your Pedestal Sink With a Fitting Mirror
While unadorned mirrors can work well in most spaces, a tiny room needs a big statement. A gorgeous mirror with an iridescent frame makes this room shine.

LORRAINE G VALE, Allied ASID Hello-thank you for your question-I am not a fan of pedestal sinks unless they can make a statement like this one. I absolutely love this sink. It was made by American Standard. Sadly-they no longer make it. The powder room is 36" wide, so this is approximately 28"x28". Lorraine
