Hi Folks! We just bought a rental unit and I cannot wait to get to work on it! The cabinets in the photo are staying (for now!) and I need advice on maybe (a) whitewashing that support beam and (b) what colors I should use for the laminate wood floors we will be installing to tie in all of the different shades :/ Its a beach rental so leaning towards coastal (think white wash, driftwood and light/airy everything). Has anyone had experience whitewashing beams like this? They are a bit more orangey in person and I am assuming its stain? The wood railings going up the stairs are a slightly different color too so any advice there would be very helpful! Basically all DIY as we are trying to keep costs down!!!

Thank You
