Stairway Renovation & 1/2 Wall Cabinets

This was a project we completed in September, 2008. The project consisted of fabricating a pair of 1/2 wall built-in cabinets with inset raised panel doors, applied panel moulding detail, and square fluted columns with crown mouldings. Also  we supplied and installed  some full length fluted columns & 1/2 columns between the living room and dining room.

The other phase of this project included the removal of the existing pine stairway that was definitely long overdue for a facelift. We installed new oak treads, paintgrade risers, stringers, skirt boards and a new balustrade system that features a 6710 style rail, a fluted boxed newel with 5300 series balusters.

I hope to get by in the future after the homeowner has completed all the painting and staining and get some final pictures.

The existing small handrail on the right hand side will be removed and replaced with a new matching oak "6710" style rail, that will be continuous up to the second floor hallway.
