Modifying What You Have Can Still Make An Impact

It’s often true that trends come full circle, just look at the current boom in mid Century furnishings, colors and décor. Take for example this original staircase railing, something that frankly resembles an outdoor deck railing only it’s indoors. We can comment because we too once had the same type of “outdoor” railing in our house. What once was popular in the 80’s is now deemed outdated and replaced with a modern twist in its use of iron adapted from the 60’s.

With careful disassembling of the railings, new bull nosed stair tread ends were replaced because the old balusters were notched into the existing ones. New cherry wood newel posts and railings were installed as well as the wall railings adhered by Oil Rubbed Bronze brackets. The balusters are single twisted iron Oil Rubbed Bronze with matching shoes that now sit on the stair treads. And we added a stair skirt to complete the look. Modifying this existing staircase simply gave it a new appeal.
