Momiji put some paw prints on this, but you can see how we sanded the whole piece down and stained it.. It will need another coat then water seal.. The finish work around the door will be poplar wood stained the same color... So that makes our theme and blue/gray, maroon, white, dark stained kinda them =) We'll have to coat the deck with some protection the next time we get decent weather.. we hope to do it in the next month...
