When we built our house 5 years ago, I specifically told the builder to
stain the railings to match the molding.
When I came back a week later, he completely ignored me and just put a layer of polyurethane on them.
I hated them.
They weren't even connected properly.
We've been wanting to fix this problem for years...
So instead of heading down to the beach this summer,
the Colonel and I decided to tackle this eye sore.
Well, it's done...
All connected...
A beautiful entryway...
The view from the top...
So pretty!
It took a few weeks...the house was a mess...the garage was a mess...
But I'm so happy with the end result!
I love our new stairway!
Enjoy the pictures!
I'm going to get my beach chair out and sit it at the top of the stairs
and just gaze at the beauty in my house!

Your stairwell looks lovely. Isn't it wonderful to get something done that you have wanted to do for a long time?
I read your blog about in praise of
stay at home moms. It was great,
I have been a stay at home mom for
almost 32 years, and I have questioned many times especially when my nest was empty, but I can
honestly say If I could do life over I would not change a thing.
I truly believe this is God's calling for me, and I love anything to do with the home and family. It is a true blessing to be able to stay at home, and I believe the Lord really blesses that step of faith. I think the society we live in makes us feel like we are just people who aren't educated and can't do anything else
but clean and cook, but God has
greatly gifted each of us with all
sorts of talents and resources that
we can use to create a true home
and haven for those we love.
You go girl!! Proud of you, stay
the course, you want regret it!!
Blessings, Nellie

What a beautiful stairway. I'll bet it looks gorgeous at Christmas when you decorate! My husband is a home builder and he would have redone it for you. What your builder did was wrong. You should have had him do it over. I'm glad you are happy with it now. You home looks lovely. Hugs, Loretta

What a beautiful job Lois!! Isn't it great when you get something like this sorted, which you have had to wait for, for such a long time. It has definitely been worth the wait! Such a graceful and tasteful hallway!!
