Hi my friends ~

It took awhile, but I finally got around to post the painted banister.

Pete worked so long, and so hard to get the banister perfect, what an amazing job he did.

The staircase looks so pretty now ~ before it was so boring and plain.

We had a local carpenter do the molding, and we did the wainscoting ourselves.

The wainscoting is ~(Martha Stewart wallpaper) ~ we purchased it at Home Depot.

I want to do the same thing in our Dining Room (that’s for another day)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I think the weather is going to be super.

Much love,
Rose
