Hi
I build my own prints bins. Last year after my rain experience in Bucktown Art Fair, I realize the my 2X4 feet wood bin and card boxes for my frame was not way to go.
I build a new wood box for my frame and still a big but in wheels and I can use as a table. I redoing my bins but I decide to reuse what I have before. Here comes my problem and question. My old bin have honey maple finish and the frame box is walnut.
Does matter that the frame box a different color than the print bin. Basic idea does matter that you have two pieces of furniture in same room that different color? I think it wont make any difference in the sales (I think). What is the big deal, staining plywood it takes about a week and stripping the old color can add a couple of more days and is a lot of freaking work.
I am not lazy and I live in an apartment in Chicago, IL.

Oscar, I have to agree with the previous comment. First impressions mean a lot. So I would say that you should take the time amd make everything look the same. I think it would add a more professional looking touch to your booth.
It might help to draw people into your booth because it looks nice and would indicate that you take the time to be professional. Good luck!! I hope to see you at some of the shows.
If you have the time make them the same color. It will make your booth look coordinated and well put together. I know it is more work, but it will look nice when it is done. Art patrons aren't going to decide to buy your art work based on the color of the wood, however, a very attractive booth may cause some patrons to come inside and look your work over. It is up to you. You could add a walnut strip to the bin box and a honey maple strip to the frame box. Then, they will look like they go together. That will save you lots of work, too.
