Red Handed.

So as you can tell by the gloves we have just finished our staining. We did not think it was going to come out reddish ( "ish" by the way "is not a word we use these days" as I was told today by a grade 3) we thought we had a very natural looking stain bought by again we are learning. Don't go by the sample apparently.  
It did not turn out too bad just not the way we wanted it to go. Oh well what are you going to do? We sure as hell are not going through the whole process again. So I will learn to live with. We are hoping it will dry differently and will lighten up with the varnish like they say it will. I am not holding my breath.

Me staining the floor

The floor almost all stained. See the rag on the floor? That was white when we started, that is the second one we used. 


All stained, the lighting is really off in this one. I will try to take a better shot tomorrow in the sunlight. This room as wonderful light in the day time, another reason it is going to make an awesome craft room.
