Matt and Marie's Plan

When Matt and Marie decided to start a family, space was their first priority. The current structure couldn't support the architectural plans they had in mind. Their decision to tear down the old house was a bit overwhelming, but they were up for the challenge. With Matt's construction background and Marie's intuitive design sense, the couple created a home to be proud of. When choosing stain, Matt and Marie's New Jersey home required protection against the elements, but also a variety of color. Their final choice was Sagebrush, a siding solid color stain. Today, Matt and Marie, along with 3 year old Gina and 1 year old Fin, are enjoying all the extra space.

Computer screens and printers vary in how colors are displayed, so the colors you see may not match the paint's actual color. In addition, the actual and perceived color of applied stain may be affected by factors such as wood absorption rates, application techniques, and the wood's natural color and grain tones.
