how to choose wood stain
Still making slow progress on our kitchen remodel. We've decided we'd
like to have the baseboard and door trim look close to the color of the cabinets we've ordered. Thought to call the cabinet company to ask for a recommendation - they offer their own stain in quarts that will match as close as possible given the cabinets are maple and the trims would be pine. Sounds great, but the stain is $35 for a quart, about 4 times the cost of those I passed in the paint aisle in the store. Is it worth it to purchase from the cabinet manuf. or is there some way to get a close match buying stain off the shelf, without buying many cans as test runs? The cabinets are maple, and the stain is called Spice. It looks like the color of honey to me, although they have a honey stain that looks more like natural wood to me. If I do go with the manufacturer's stain, how close would the color match be between maple and pine? Thanks for any advice. Melissa |
