If you still want to go even lighter try 3 4 pickled oak and 1 4 classic gray.
This stain added very little color to any of the boards maybe slightly lighter with a tinge of green but really brought out their natural color and grain.
The 1st floor oak flooring has english chestnut stain throughout kitchen living room dining room and smaller bed room.
The whitewash collects in the darker grain creating a sort of sun bleached negative of the natural wood for a weathered driftwood look.
Minwax wood finish is a penetrating oil based wood stain which provides beautiful rich color that enhances the natural wood grain.
My dilemma is what stain to go with.
This should cover the natural pink in the red oak wood flooring and provide an even lighter color tone you are wanting.
If you re wanting to preserve the natural wood color and possibly go even slightly lighter i recommend using pickled oak.
This is a great stain to have on hand.
It applies easily and.
We ve been wanting to do a wood stain study for years now and in my head i wanted to do every type of wood with about 20 different stains each but with limited resources not to mention space we settled on 5 popular species of wood commonly used by diyers with 6 different stains.
It brought out the natural tones while slightly lightening each type of wood piece.
Once a polyurethane finish is put on top of the stain the shine will also cause the floor to appear lighter.
For superior durability and long lasting beauty the choice is clear protective clear finishes from minwax.
It also appeared to make the wood look softer.
