island stain for white oak?

last year

Hello! Can you help me choose a stain? Floors are white oak as well…

Featured Answer
  • last year

    what will you do with the rest of the space? Do you have a decor idea? countertop color?

    any textiles?

    I personally would do something very different for the island. a real contrast to the light floor.

    ebony stain? still show the wood grain, but not a natural woodtone.
