Railing Reveal

in DIY & Home Decor on 11/20/17

The first thing you see coming in our front door is our staircase and railing.  The railing was very old school and I wanted to find a unique design to replace it with.  David, my Dad, my Mom and I all banned together one weekend and got to work on a new railing!  This railing remodel finished before I started Lilies and Life so unfortunately, I do not have a tutorial on how we made this.  I will tell you that it was probably the most complicated project we have done, but every time I look at it I still cannot believe we made it all by ourselves 🙂  

Here is a before picture of the railing:

After researching railings and finding ideas on Pinterest, I was inspired by this blog post on The Nitty Gritty blog.

 

We used Sherwin Williams ProClassic Semi-gloss paint for all of the white parts of the railing and Minwax Dark Walnut wood stain for the railing tops.  We used Minwax Semi-Gloss Poyluthrane to seal the wood stained railings.

We found this newel post at Lowe’s and got the rest of the supplies at Menard’s.

White railing remodel using a a new fun pattern.  Not your traditional railing!

Our new railing is beautiful and now I am proud that it is the first thing people see when they walk into our house!

      Shirley, unfortunately I do not have the exact materials we used right now, but I do know we used 2×2 maple boards for the spindles, a newel post from Lowe’s and the the top dark stained railing was also pre-made and found at Lowe’s. I hope that helps 🙂

Bedrooms are probably my favorite spaces to decorate because I love giving my clients a room where they can relax and feel at peace 🙏  If you think about it, you go to bed and wake up in your bedroom EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If the space doesn't make you happy that means you are starting and ending your days in a negative state of mind... Who needs that? No one 😉

Home Decor PSA #4 (Yesterday was #3 I messed that Home Decor PSA #4

(Yesterday was #3 I messed that up🤦🏻‍♀️)

It's ok to choose function over beauty sometimes! Actually, most of the time😜 Your home isn't just for pictures on Instagram, it's where you live so sometimes choosing a specific layout, a more durable paint color, or a certain fabric for your sofa is just what you have to do!

For example:
1. You may choose carpet in your living room  because your kids love rolling around and wrestling.
2. You choose a darker paint color because having light colored walls stresses you out with three kids🤪
3. The most comfortable sofa may not always be the perfect looking sofa 😊

If you use some creativity the functional option might also be the most beautiful 😊

In this photo, swivel, comfortable counter stools were a must for my client! Comfortable✔️ Swivel✔️ Still looks beautiful ✔️
