So one of my nearest & dearest friends is in real estate, and apparently sees WAY too much oak (you can imagine all of the 1990s built homes she's in and trying to sell). While she's a sales genius, it must be tough when potential buyers ask what can be done about all of the oak; oak cabinets, oak bannisters, oak doors, oak trim, etc.
Well, lucky for you and I and any homeowner dealing w/a plethora of oak, Pinterest has all of the answers! Gel stain, that comes in many colors, allows you to do very little prep work (no sanding down trim), and apply right over the existing stain. It sounds simple enough. Here's the link to a lovely little blog that takes you through step-by-step how to use the gel stain: http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=2097459825&group=0&frame_&blog=2254410&link=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRwcm94eS5nb29nbGUuY29tL35yL1JlbW9kZWxhaG9saWMvfjMvMmhlX0tjY3BWY00v&frame=1&click=0&user=0
The before and after photos are incredible! Here's a peek below (photo courtesy of Remodelaholic).
