Stairs:Getting Closer

In the midst of moving, I pulled down the railing, painted the blausters white and refinished the posts and railing in dark walnut.


The flooring guys installed the beautiful hardwood.

Then it was time to paint the tread, which I did, and reinstall the railing, which I left to the pros.

Can't get enough of these:love the wall color the stain and the bright white trim.


Still to do:

Touch up paint

Stain new trim pieces

Top coat railing and new trim


. . . and oh yeah, do that whole other railing that runs under the top one. But I'm not in a big hurry, I'm just going to enjoy the journey. Redoing a house is something I've wanted to do all my life.

Have you thought about painting the inside of the front door black? I think it would look amazing.
