White Stain Hardwood Floor has New Color Lummi Island,WA
Technical: Taking an old white wash finished floor and changing the color to a brown tone or cherry tone gets tricky. You see, as you sand the floor, the floor appears to be cleaned of all old finish as the white stain looks a lot like unfinished wood. However, There are some tale tell signs to watch for as we sand.
Why is this important? Any residual white finish will show up as stark white or very light contrast when stained over thus not producing the consistent staining and gorgeous floor you desire.
Very important to be aggressive with the sanding grits to eat and chew through the finish to get to bare wood. Once to bare wood, now, the normal sanding prep and sanding can occur to prepare for the new brown tone stains!

Lummi Island Getaway Refinish
This week I will refinish a wood floor.
When I walked into this home a year after the trim work changes, I immediately thought of a Whistler condo. The ambiance was so warm, cozy and inviting. The wood floor was a dated white wash color. To pull the home together, the floor is to be refinished, sanding to bare wood and apply a cherry toned stain.
The wood floor is throughout the home and acts as a back drop to the home anchoring all the different pieces of furniture and colors.
Read MoreFinding the Stain Match
In this picture, which stained board is the factory pre-finished? Obviously, the board fully stained. As you can see the other half stained board is pretty darn close and is my attempt at matching the prefinished piece. To replicate the stain, required mixing together a wiping stain in one color and 2 separate colors in a different transparent product. Many jobs require custom stain mixing to arrive at a color to:
- match a previously stained or pre-finished floor
- match a picture seen in a magazine
- to work well with a color palette selected for the home
- replicate aging
Whatever your color need, use my expertise to arrive at the look you desire!
