My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Finish my pine base

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

We recently installed a hickory hardwood floor in our kitchen. I will be installing pine base all around. What can I do to make the pine base look good with the hickory? Stain? Polyurethane? I need some ideas. I am attaching a photo of the floor and one piece of the pine base. Thanks in advance.
