New banister

It's done.  Yay!  It took forever!  Trying to keep three little kids plus all of their friends to keep hands off a freshly painted banister was driving me insane!  Plus I have never used oil-based paint before and although I really like the end result, I'm not doing it again.  WHAT A PAIN!  But it turned out beautifully.


Hello gorgeous!


I stained the rail and newel posts along with the bottom ledge.  I wanted to still let some of the wood show through.


I painted each of the ballusters with the oil based paint so when those kiddos run along them with their light sabers and princess wands, it won't knick the surface and ruin my paint job.

Another look at the before....

Big difference!
