This Is It! Done Deal!
Staircase - last step curved and wider, welcoming. Spindles thinner so that square base is less blocky. Handrail curved and tilted downward to add to curve and widening feeling. Post painted same color as spindles, finishing, yet not drawing attention. Woodwork - scale of panels nice proportion. Panels in dropped beam good, but should only be three longer ones. Two panels on sides better. Pick up darker color of handrail, (a bit lighter), in wood pieces in entry hall.
mud room floor?
