Staining!

I have been staining our new mouldings!! Can you believe it's already time for the finish work on the addition!!!
Initially we bought the stainable mouldings from Lowe's - they were Pine - but they stained poorly, and looked cheap.

We visited Huetter's here in SLC, and purchased some knotty piny instead. I was amazed at the difference in the finished quality. It's just too bad our doors are poor quality wood instead of something that looks higher in quality.

I have been having a blast staining and polyurethening the mouldings - it is amazing how much the wood transforms with the smallest TLC.

Staining is stinky work though!
