Thank you everyone!

You have a stair issue thread. Really helpful to you , more than anyone here? Stay in one thread.

This is all part of your carpet removal from stair, adding newel post..etc. All in the same house : )

Thank you, I have copied the question regarding stain color into my staircase post.

The floors in the first photo looks like white oak. Second photo is definitely red oak. Were the floors put in the same time or one was added afterwards?

Thank you. We do not know if the dloors were added at different times. They were installed when we nought the home in 2016 and believed they were original when built in 1997. We will ask the installers to be sure they do what is needed when re-staining.

The floors in the first photo is orginal to the house. The second one was added on. If, you have two different wood specie you will be subjected to dark floors only.

You already have flooring purchased. Your floor guy should have confirmed the wood species in all the spaces before purchasing, i hope.

Thank you. I will confirm that because I am not sure that he did.

Appreciate input regarding the samples put down so far. Thank you.

Far left , here down below. Classic. Brings the warmth of the stone vs gray. Done. Don't agonize.( Middle two are beyond dreary and far left is better than far right, by a lot)

Nice chandelier. Proving my argument that they are never too big.

Thank you!

This is what the colors look like in the evening with current lighting that we do not plan to change.

I recommend that you do not use minwax stain for your floors. Our floor guy used minwax and we ended up having to completely refinish the floors, Use Duraseal or Bona since those stains are made specifically for floors. Also although the names of the stain colors are the same each brand color is different.

Thank you! The contractor never discussed the stain with us. I asked several times and he told us we pick color with the floor installers. Today they set out the stains shown in the picture and that was that.

We decided on Duraseal medium brown. There is no top coat yet. Thanks to everyone for your helpful input.

Great choice!

Thank you!
