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.

Hey Katie!
Thanks for checking out the blog. I would and always use a minwax wood conditioner before applying. Thanks!
Katie says
Can you share what your process of staining the Douglas Fir was. Did you use a wood conditioner before applying the stain mixture?
Elizabeth Bixler says
Hello and thank you for checking out the blog. The builder said he used water based poly.
Thanks!

Hello! I’m doing my red oak flooring, and wondering if you finished with a water based poly or an oil based poly for more durability.

Hello! Thanks for checking out the blog. The home owners decided to go with 75% Classic grey and 25% Jacobean which isn’t in the sample swatches. Sorry for the confusion!

Please clarify: You talk about 75% Jacobean with 25% classic gray as your favorite and you show the ix in your photo. Then you say the clients selected 75%Classic Gray and 25% Jacobean….did you mistakenly invert the percentages? Their photos looks like the mix is more Jacobean than classic gray in the mix. Wanting to duplicate but confused. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi! I am in the process of picking out my stain color and loved the final choice here. I’m curious if there is a typo though? You show 75% jacobean and 25% classic gray in the sample but said the clients chose 75% classic gray and 25% jacobean. Which one did you end up doing? Thanks!
