If you are wanting to change the stain on the woodwork you have in your home, that is going to be a bear. You can't really just "add" to it.

By the way, the staircase looks very good with the floor. Don't let your mental image of "perfect" become the enemy of what you already have (which is very good). It will take considerable energy/money to get where you think you want to be. At the risk of becoming further from what you want.

It looks fine. It is darker than you thought it would be but the UNDERTONES are perfect. Your flooring has a hint of gold with PLENTY of 'true gray' (gray mixing white and black...very little undertones). The Ebony on the WOOD (the heavy grain) is probably causing a snick of upset because your floors do not have a heavy grain.

The deep wood tone has HINTS of gold in it....PERFECT! Excellent. Just what you need. Nice. Now the 'almost black' looks as close to black as wood can get....without being black.

You have a 'clear gray' set of cabinets. Perfect. Right now you have a MONOCHROMATIC look. That means white + black + gray (in many different presentations). Perfect. Excellent. No problem! You have maintained the monochrome look without clashing. Awesome! Good work, You!

Here's the issue with the 'restain' idea. You will HAVE to pay for it...all. To do this the builder will have to have his guys STRIP (ie. sand) every stick of this colour off of the spruce. Then they will use a GREEN TONED product (Jacobean is GREEN BASED). That means you will come up with a wood tone that has GREEN IN IT! Ooooohhhhhh dear! What a CLASH that will be. The green will CLASH with any gray tone you have in that house!!! Which means it will clash with the ENTIRE HOUSE!!!!

My suggestion: leave it. It is PERFECTLY CORRECT with the 'tone on tone' situation you have in your home. The colours are EXCELLENT together.

If you do ANYTHING, you might want to look at painting the risers of the stairs. But that's all I would suggest. Or have a gray runner on the stairs that is a beautiful compliment to the gray floors. It would be TRES CHIC!

As for the furniture...only you can decide if you want to keep them. Contact the furniture store and ask what type of cancellation policy. Be prepared for 25% restocking fee. Just so you know.

Oh no, I think my post must have been confusing!! I am not looking to retain what is already stained. I am looking for stain color for FURNITURE. We are having it custom made

I am asking which Minwax stain to use on our Spruce wood furniture. Should we use the Ebony stain again? Ebony mixed with Jacobean? Something totally different? We have ordered the furniture, but it is still in production and we still have time to make a decision.

What's your style? Do you LIKE heavy/dark furniture? Are you more into the Germanic/Danish "Black Walnut Rules the World" concept or are you more of a "light, airy" person?

Do you have photos of the furniture you have ordered? We might be able to offer an option other than 'almost black'.

Be VERY CAREFUL with the Jacobean. It turns GREEN...Do you like the idea of your new furniture clashing heavily with everything in the house?

I wouldn't try to adjust the stain formula for the furniture.

How much furniture are we talking about, and how much of it is wood (as opposed to fabric)?

I would keep the stain color you ordered for your furniture. It will all blend together. Your stairway is beautiful, your floor is beautiful, and just dont throw a third stain into the mix. What you ordered will be perfect. You just need to get everything in place, and you will love it all. Its scary to do everything all at one time, and then think it may not be your vision, but, then it all goes together and its just what you had seen in your mind.

Normally I like a light and airy look so that’s why this is just freaking me out a little! All your comments have been so helpful! I appreciate it. About changing the formula of the stain... how do I do that??

It’s a kitchen table, chairs, coffee table and buffet table. Stain top and distressed white legs. This is a very similar listing, and it’s by the same shop: https://capefearcurbside.patternbyetsy.com/listing/949660695/6ft-rustic-farmhouse-table-with-turned

Maybe I should just keep Ebony. I can always use a table runner to brighten it up. I guess my main concern is how Ebony will look on spruce. I’d love to know how it will turn out!

If your table/chair order has white legs then leave the ebony. It will work beautifully.

You have a great eye. Stop second guessing yourself.

I would eliminate the ebony...Jacobean alone may be just what you are looking for...

Depending on the color you want you may not want repeated coats of stain...the only way to be sure is to offer a color sample for them to match....after a career in re-finishing antiques...i found ebony was only useful in small amounts to affect tone...not viable as a color on its own...

I would want an exact match to the stairway.
