Stain or Paint?

March 8, 2013 by Laura

I need your input! Conner and I will be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary this month. The traditional gift is wood so I had a friend make Conner a wine storage cabinet to put next to his kegerator.

The piece is gorgeous and those racks pull out for easy painting and cleaning! (If you live in the Tulsa area, check out Woodstock Cabinet Co. They’re the best!) It fills in this space quite nicely but I have no clue if we should stain the wood or paint it. My first thought is white paint to match the glass cabinet on top but a fun punch of color would be cool. There’s always the staining option too since the wood is a beautiful white maple.

Y’all helped me last time I couldn’t make a decision so what say you? Stain or paint?

    […] Way back when, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to stain or paint the wine cabinet. I received a ton of feedback and I loved the advice I heard several times – you can always paint over stain but you can’t stain over paint. So the decision was made – stain it first! […]
