And the cabinet color is....

Well, the stain color testing is over. We're going custom mix. I think I'll call it "Cinnamon Pecan".

There are 3 color samples on the trim piece in this photo. The one on the right is Red Chestnut (way too dark). The one in the middle is a mix 1:1 Red Chestnut:Golden Pecan (a little too red).

The one on the left is the one we are going with. It's a 2:3 mix of Red Chestnut:Golden Pecan.

So that means I have tons of stain. Can't get Red Chestnut in Colby, so I bought 4 quarts of it in Hays in case I needed it. Fortunately, I can get Golden Pecan here though.



This second picture shows the test piece up against an existing trim piece in our kitchen that Amber said she liked. It's one of the few things that can stay in the kitchen, so we matched it. The color I concocted is the bottom one...looks pretty close to the existing panel!
