Picking a Color

So despite ordering 11 stain options ~ we were able to quickly narrow it down to 4 by the time we acutally around to 'testing' it out.

Part of it was seeing the colors stained at my new monthership. And part of it was just common sense.

The only unfortunate part about a STAIN is that its just that. a stain. The max i would recommend leaving the color on is an hour. Although we do have one spot that still has some color residue even after only 20 minutes.

The process:
1. dip an old t-shirt in stain.
2. rub on painstakingly beautiful paint-free floors
3. stand and look quizzically at the floor for hours on end.
4. take photos so you can look longer and confuse yourself even more.
5. soap & water to remove
6. for tough spots we use our home made peppermint scrub. (i'll have to add a link later)



Oh and for the record ~ we're choosing green.

Tips & Tricks:
DO NOT USE PAINTERS TAPE. Somehow - for some reason - there must still be the slightest residue left on the floor that the tape picked up and we now have very straight, odd linear lines on our living room floor.
