We finished building our dream home and moved in November 2024! I found a picture of a front door that I absolutely loved and it was my inspiration. We went with a fir door so the base wood color was lighter but still had orange tones. I debated for months on what to use and finally decided to go with the Heirloom Gel Stain. After 9 months of procrastinating, I finally pulled the trigger & I couldn’t be more excited about the finished product!
I used equal parts of the Antique White and Toasted Oak Gel Stain. I used a simple chip brush to apply then lightly rubbed with a stain sponge. The outside needed 2 coats due to the weathering of the door but inside was perfect with one coat. I barely used even a 1/2 can of each color.
