Minwax Stain on Red Oak Floors and Douglas Fir Match -

Today I played with a few stains for this massive farmhouse by Paramount Realty Group .

The first blog I did on Minwax stain on red oak floors helped so many of you guys that I wanted to show you more examples including application on other types of wood. The client’s style is very similar to what you would see Joanna Gaines do in Fixer Upper. They love white and shiplap everywhere. They wanted a very clean-looking modern farmhouse with a little bit of curve to accent.

The wood in this photo is dark which helps the white pop and look so crisp. They also have a Fir pantry door and we were trying to match or lighter than the floors .

Here is the Minwax stain basics on red oak:

These are all one coat of the labeled color.

I love the jacobean 75% and classic grey 25% !! We later tested the fir stains to see what matched best with the red oak stain we liked.

The fir has Minwax Early American. There is still a lot of red showing through.

This example shows less red with the stain we liked.

The clients chose:

Hardwoods, Handrail, Stair treads: 75% Classic Grey and 25% Jacobean

Pantry Door, Fireplace french doors: 1 part Early American to 1 part Golden Oak

Front Door: 1 part Early American to 1 part Golden Oak

I think my clients’ choice was very close.

I love how the amount of Jacobean adds depth and warmth to the veins! Great Choice! Now for the pantry door, they wanted a lighting color but to keep similar undertones.

Here are is an updated photo of their kitchen:

And I just love these doors and handles from Magnolia Homes.

This is the gorgeous Douglas fir pantry doors with 50% Minwax Golden Oak coats and 50% Minwax Early American with the Jacobean, Classic Grey stained Red Oak floors.
