Thank you! Beautifully done floors.Moving into a house with Brazilian cherry in PA that we want to stain. Any tips to keeping the stain homogeneous and to avoid blotchiness? Thank you so much

I agree with campo, I would try to ensure the the colour complements the rooms leading off of it. The hall appears a little dark so you could have a look at the warm neutrals by either little Greene or farrow and ball and add colour with art and/or an oriental runner which would suit the house. Or as you love colour maybe paint the walls in ochre (there are some nice shades of it around atm) but I would team with white woodwork in that case as a contrast to the floor

Oops - the photos posted in the wrong order! Photo 3: what the floor looked like originally Photos 2 & 4: what the floor looks like now (the sample on the floor is walnut) Photo 1: The any different colour samples kindly mixed up for me And here’s another photo of the final three. I have a feeling I’d like something between 2 & 3.

What colour would you use to replace the red trim?
Q
Comments (4)
The brick red stands out, and not in a good way - the red makes your house look yellow. Also, I have never seen trim done like that before (along the bottom of the house and at the corners??). I mean this kindly, but that does not look good. In addition, there is no need to carry the trim color to the fence, and the bench, and the retaining wall....it's way too much, in any color. I would remove that trim by painting it the same cream as the house. This would be much fresher than keeping that trim, in any color. For an accent color, consider painting just the fascia. It would be subtle and classic. With cream, you could do a navy, a white, a gray. Not sure about green - I just don't have experience with it. But you have several colors going on without the accent color, so there is already plenty to look at. No need to paint everything from the lawn to the lane the same color as the trim, or the same color as the house itself. Just put the trim color in one spot (aside from the house) - like the top of the fence/retaining wall OR the strip on the bottom of the fence that is red. Not both! Also, no need to paint the main part of the fence the same color as the house. For example, let's say you choose navy for an accent color, so the fascia and top of the fence are navy. The rest of the fence can be a complementary color - tan, gray, brown would all look good with navy and cream. I hope you'll post photos after you're finished! Very pretty house

What colour scheme to use with blue rug?
Q

Many thanks Sonia. I have taken on board the advice to use yellow and navy cushions. I am swapping the blue rug for a smaller size ie 133x180 cm instead of the existing 200x270cm. This will expose more of the wooden floor. I will send pics for your comments in the next few days. Thanks so much.

Iron acetate has to be applied evenly. We had 1 person apply acetate by hand/rag a couple board widths at a time. Another person used a paint roller to help even out. Ebony stain helps to mask some of the blotchiness. Good luck!
