You just never know what products or images or ideas will be a hit and I was overwhelmed with how much you guys responded to my staircase sneak peek on social media several months ago! Holy cow! It was re-posted a ton so today I am sharing ALL of the details!
Sometimes the tiniest of home design details can take the longest to figure out yet they can also be the most transforming and give you the most bang for your buck! And our stair balusters are definitely one of those things. I think Mark ended up having to change his deadline for me like five times before I finally got them ordered. Without the slightest bit of exaggeration, I searched the internet for HOURS trying to find something that I loved. I knew I wanted something simple but I also wanted something WOW. Something detailed but not fussy. Something plain but not boring. And something AMAZING. A combination I hadn’t really seen before…
For this project I had the unique opportunity to team up with a company AFTER purchasing and installing the product. Typically when I work with a company, they reach out to me prior to the project and I determine if I am interested and if it’s something I love OR I reach out to a company knowing that I love their products and want to use them. Just a heads up. I wanted to avoid confusion when I say that this post is sponsored.

So back to our beautiful railings… After searching through the first 45 pages of Google search results, I fell in love with this one…
Aalto Series Modern Iron Balusters- Tubular
I then played around on Photoshop to play with the layout combining this one with a plain bar…
And then it was over. I was sold. And in love. I chose to do this design on our main staircase in the foyer as well as our open stairwell to the basement in our main hallway which I revealed last week! So as usual, let’s take a peek at it all BEFORE…
So here’s what we did…
1. First, we removed the wall separating the living room from the hallway and replaced it with a single column.
2. We re-ran all electrical, all HVAC and restored the original windows.
3. Spray foam insulation.
4. Sheetrock.
5. We installed beautiful thick molding on the baseboards, crown and windows! Read more about that HERE… “Trim, Ceilings and Moldings Oh My!“
6. Paint! Read more about that HERE… “Paint, Paint and More Paint…“
