Bannister Revisited

You may remember the trials and tribulations of our first floor bannister.  Well, it was time to tackle the basement bannister and with limited funds, we had to revise our plan of replacing it to match the upstairs model.

Not too shabby.  :)

Ed tackled this puppy while I was in New York attending Toy Fair so it was an awesome surprise to come home to.  In addition to this guy, he also painted the hand rail attached to the wall just above:

The paint job really pulled the entire look of the space together as it mirrors all the beautiful white moldings throughout the basement.  It's all coming together!!
