Two-Tone Border for Floors
Add drama to an entryway or dining room with a two-tone, wood stain border of checks or diamonds around the floor. The Minwax Company makes a product called WoodSheen. It's a one-step stain and polyurethane finish that comes in various wood colors like pine, oak and walnut and can be applied to a new floor.
Borders Use a sponge brush or cheesecloth to apply dark stain, such as walnut to the unmasked areas. It should be applied lightly so the color won't bleed. Let dry. Peel away the tape. For a finishing touch use the darker color for the wall molding to frame the area.
