We will get back to you with any ideas we have on achieving this look with red oak floors.

We appreciate your questions!

What color paint is on the walls?

The paint color is Sherwin Williams Sand Beach Flat #7529.

Thank you for the paint color!! Really appreciate it

You are very welcome!

Really? I've never seen white oak with so many knots. I just love the finish and wonder if I could get the same look on the red oak we are laying

Safe mommy, trying to achieve the look as well. If laying to red oak hardwoods, lumber liquidators offers three grades of red oak, try the rustic grade. Offers the most variation in the boards. In regards to stain, try a minwax blend of 50% ebony and 50% Jacobean, possibly two coats

I think its white Oak!

What is the door stain?

The door is select oak with a mix of coffee and ebony stain. It is a matte finish. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you!

Why did you choose a white oak rather than a red oak? We want to use a dark walnut stain and I just assumed we should use a red oak b/c it's darker?
