We’re refinishing our red oak floors. We’re hoping for a warm mid-tone brown that doesn’t go too red. Our walls are currently a cream color, but will be repainted Benjamin Moore Ballet White. All stains are Bona colors. Please vote for your favorite, with 1 at the top and 4 at the bottom.

Medium brown

Special Walnut

Early American

Antique brown

I think the antique brown is pretty; but when i look at it, i just think of how much my dog’s hair would show :)

Due to that, id pick medium brown because its the lightest

Somehow, when I initially posted the poll, Houzz scrambled the order of the stain choices. They should be correct now, with Medium Brown on top, followed by Special Walnut, then Early American, and finally Antique Brown.
