Wood on treads vs risers - Hi - love the stairs. My contractor is telling me I should paint risers since the wood is different (pine vs oak) o but I prefer this look, Can you confirm if these are two different woods? Thanks! »
Angela Todd Designs These are both oak. Your contractor's advice is sound. Different species of wood will stain differently and have a different grain. It would be close to impossible to match.
xiaosie I love this paint color but it looks like Devine Color does not make this color anymore. Can you recommend a color that is like this one? I can't discern the paint color on the computer monitor! Thanks!
Angela Todd Designs Thank you for your question. These were refurbished and purchased from www.rejuvenation.com. They come in a variety of metal finishes.
A space carved out of the stairway like this one is a throwback to a time when the household's one (rented) phone would be placed there, along with a telephone table and built-in bench for sitting and chatting. I remember my grandparents' early-1900s tudor had a telephone table and built-in bench in this very spot. See more built-ins
