Time to Buy Stain

We've mostly finished the paint stripping in the master bedroom, but somehow we've gotten stalled on the sanding. We're lacking motivation to spend several hours finishing the project. We can't even blame the weather, because there was perfect cool weather this week.
It must be time to buy the stains. Once the stain is sitting there waiting, we'll surely find the motivation to resume work on this room. We are so eager to get moved back upstairs.

Sharon is trying to decide whether we use the same stain colors as the downstairs. We're not sure whether it would be better to lighten it up a bit as the downstairs woodwork is pretty dark.
