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.

What finish for Wood Open Shelving in Kitchen?

8 years ago

We are doing some wood (english chestnut stain) open shelving in our kitchen and trying to decide what finish to go with. We'll be using the same stain on the hardwood flooring so not sure if we should match the same finish there as well.


Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Satin but wondering what others suggest.
