Hi there, thanks for asking!

The flooring we used was a red oak hardwood with a MInwax Walnut stain.

So the flooring was a MAJOR sticking point in this project. Ultimately, the clients decided to go with my original suggestion of matching new wood floors to the existing ones throughout the home.

We consulted a professional wood floor vendor who assisted us with identifying the correct formula for the stain. Again our goal was to match the existing wood floors, so it had to be perfect!

I highly recommend testing out a few different stain colors before choosing the winner. I start by going to the store and looking at the swatch samples. After identifying 3 to 5 stain (Samples) I like, I buy a sample size can of each of my chosen stains. Go home and actually apply each stain to a small area on the floor. Do this in different areas of the house so you can see how the light affects the color. From there, choose your favorite!

Let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck!

Beautiful, thanks very much!
