Hello -- I came across your post when searching for StarMark driftwood-- I'm considering that color stain on hard wood, and I'm wondering what you went with, and how you like it! I'd love to see a photo if you can post one. Thanks!

I got a sample door of driftwood with ebony glaze on cherry and really liked it. I think I would have been happy with Starmark, but after figuring tax/installation/etc the difference between them and the custom shop was very little and my contractor really wanted me to use the custom shop. The custom shop allows things to be a little more "custom" too which is nice. They work together well with the contractor so it has made things easier than I think it would have been otherwise.

I ended up matching a stained maple to Starmark driftwood with a black glaze. It's very close in appearance.

The kitchen is still in progress so I don't have any finished pictures (probably 4-6 weeks out still), but here is a sample door with the stain. This isn't the door style we ended up using, its more for color. This is my custom shop's maple, but it looks very similar in color/tone to the cherry driftwood sample I got from Starmark. I think the glaze is important on cherry or maple to mellow out the underlying wood tone, otherwise looks really pink (was not a fan at all of that look). Oak might be able to get away with plain stain.

It's a little dark, I thought about doing the whole kitchen in it, but ultimately settled on a mix of light grey paint (matched to SW Repose Grey) on one wall and the island/mudroom/appliance wall/desk all stained.

Omega porch swing seemed pretty similar, I cross shopped that too.

I think I would have done QS oak inset if I stuck with starmark or omega. I really liked Porch swing with a brushed ebony finish.

Hi, I am in the process of designing my new kitchen. I have picked a light grey stained maple cabinet and am also trying to match a wood look tile to an existing hard wood oak floor in the house. I'm having a really hard time finding a tile that matches. Any suggestions of where to look that has lots of color options? I need a warmer goldenish color.

Thanks. I'd like to know if you have the website as to where you got your tile?

I found my online sample at southcypress.com however contractor bought the actual tiles through a local distributor. Definitely used wayfair and tile shop for some of my other samples, but there were a couple other sites too that I can't remember now.

Thank you! That's very helpful. I'm determined to find something close. I will check it out.
