I'm glad I changed my mind and stained the woodwork around my French doors. My original idea was to paint the doors and the woodwork off white. Then I looked at all the windows in the doors and thought - maybe not.
So it took me a while to actually get to the project but I found the Colonial Maple stain and within a couple of hours the deed was done. I knew I wouldn't be able to match the doors or the other woodwork but we do have different colors of wood in the room. It will be just fine.
Now I have to figure out how to add a closet in our bedroom to house my clothes that are scattered throughout a couple of closets and rooms. Ugh!
Now I see that I need to add additional coats of stain...looks better in person but this is still a work in progress. Maybe add a little red oak to the maple...we'll see. Dang! Never done!
Take care,
Bonnie
