Here is an old colonial style railing system which we updated with a more modern look. The risers/stringers/posts and all trim was painted with Chantilly Lace and the rail and treads were stained one tone darker than the existing floor.

special notes:

4”x4” posts with chamfered tops

modern railing

modern spindles

3/4” square stringer cap
