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 staircase and wall decor are so nice! I think you need to enjoy some sort of beachy treat as you enjoy looking things over--maybe a snow cone?
Carrie of Farming On Faith says
I love~love~love it. Your big wall inspired me. I have been waiting to do mine because I want it just right. Just not sure what to so. It is just beautiful!
Sharon says
It is truly beautiful and you did a great job. I see why you want to sit and admire it.
Love your wall decor also
God bless.

Hook me up with a chair and I will sit up there with you. I wish so bad we had built a 2 story home so I could have had a staircase like yours. You did a fantastic job and it looks beautiful.
Hugs,

Oh Lois!! It looks lovely!! The way you feel is how I felt when I got my Mom's slate carving in my niche!! I just delighted looking at it over and over again!!
I love the things you chose for the wall, too! The little grapevine window thingy is so pretty, and they all look great together!! Bask in the satisfaction of a job well done, and beauty in your home!! Aaahhh!!
Have a glorious week, sweet friend,
Becky
