I have #1 and am ...#4 is intriguing, isn't it?<br /><br />I have #1 and am in the process of updating it now. I love it and am preserving the look. I'm taking the carpet off--I have carpeted back stairs that we use most often, so it will be pretty to show off the wood.<br /><br />The funny thing? Metal is less expensive and easier to work with, so no one wants to do the job! Everyone keeps handing me the metal books, and suggesting that I go with metal, on my super-traditional home! Apparently there are only a couple places in town that still do quality wood banisters.<br /><br />Next project--can you do balcony railings? Mine weren't to code and I'm having to redo those, too.<br /><br />www.avenuemonaco.com for my Money Pit.bondgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803831426250502962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664504881218301819.post-72803672010147552332009-06-30T07:27:33.402-05:002009-06-30T07:27:33.402-05:00What beautiful pictures to illustrate your points....What beautiful pictures to illustrate your points.

I LOVE looking through your web site.<br /><br />#8 Grabs me. The contrast of the light walls and the dark wood make it homey and comforting at the same time not stuffy. I also like the red rug contrast of the green walls. (I have this in my house now. )<br /><br />11 The bulklyness of the wood is charming to me. It's simple but I think the railings would be a pain to clean. ha!<br /><br />13 Caught me the most. I like that the walkway crosses over the living room looking down. Also that the fireplace rises up through the walkway. <br /><br />I would combine 13 fireplace and 8 coloring of wood and paint for the perfect combo.<br /><br />Thanks for posting!Vickihttp://www.stiruntilsmooth.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664504881218301819.post-65466259743876929142009-04-30T11:57:00.000-05:002009-04-30T11:57:00.000-05:00WOW.

Chunky & solid structure, but soft colour and lines.<br /><br />#12 because I love circles!! This is one of the most unique railings I've ever seen. The wood is gorgeous -- love the wainscoting too :-)<br /><br />Kelly @ DesignTiesDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664504881218301819.post-34976716802775872902009-04-29T20:41:00.000-05:002009-04-29T20:41:00.000-05:00My favorite is #6 - love that style!My favorite is #6 - love that style!Linda Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484402027814646865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664504881218301819.post-82521526103862287632009-04-29T16:27:00.000-05:002009-04-29T16:27:00.000-05:00My goodness -- - with this comprehensive staircase...My goodness -- - with this comprehensive staircase post , why wait for your report on your neighbor?<br />This is great - you really did your homework.<br /><br />I'll look forward to stopping by again - thanks for your thoughtful comment!<br /><br />JudithstudioJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560914513878435960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664504881218301819.post-73489553449240783442009-04-29T16:05:00.000-05:002009-04-29T16:05:00.000-05:00The newer styles are leaning toward the iron raili...The newer styles are leaning toward the iron railings, but I am in love with a great wood!
