Our flooring expert explained that yes, not only does the wood type change how the stain appears, but also the grit level of sanding beforehand. I wasn’t aware of this and so Hubs and I decided to play around and we sanded the floors to the right with a 150 grit and our electrical sander. In preparation for the floors, the refinishers will sand the floors with an 80 grit sand paper and then apply the stain.

I’ve loved rich dark floors like these gorgeous Jacobean stained floors by my friend Kellie, Nest of Posies. We had a huge array of stain choices to choose from Dura Seal which is made by Minwax. The white oak floors are so beautiful, light and bright in their raw glory! If you follow me on Instagram then you know I was second guessing myself on whether or not I should even stain them. But the positive side is that the freshly sanded floors are revealed! The time has come for choosing hardwood floor stains!
