Revealing My Custom Stain Combination!


Hey there, Reader!

In today's article I am sharing my go-to custom stain combination! I get asked all the time what color of stain I used on my mantle, living room valances and our new bathroom ceiling! (which I still need to reveal to you guys 🙃)

What's unique about my custom stain combo is it's not just one stain color but actually two colors that I have combined with a special technique to get the results you see on these projects. In the article I go over step by step how to stain wood and all the tips I have learned over the years.

If you missed some of my recent emails I shared our new Christmas Tree Review along with How To build Wood Valances. I also haven't shared it yet but you can read about how I made a beaded Christmas garland HERE!

P.S.S- I always encourage my email subscribers to email & chat but, lately I have been having email troubles with my work email. So, I created a special gmail account where you can email me at. Say hello, ask a question, or suggest some content you would love to see!

Just email simplydiyhomellc@gmail.com to reach me!
