[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we're refinishing all of the hardwoods in our house.  They are white oak, and are currently stained this way:

What color do you think we should do?  I don't really like the current color too much.  Should we go to a natural stain?  Which is basically like this:

Or something inbetween?  Does the style or age of the house matter?  Thoughts?

I agree with others, it depends on your house decor. In my previous house we had natural white oak (clear poly). In my new house I wanted a less refined look (wanted them to look old and distressed). We used white oak but instead of stain and poly we used hard wax oil. Love them. It did deepen the color of the wood, but I love that you can feel the texture and they do not show any dust or dirt.
