How does the stairway meet the second floor hallway? - This is beautiful and exactly what we are planning to do, including the contrast between the light wood floor on the first floor and the darker color wood (chocolate brown) on the stairs. But we are really struggling to figure out what to do on the second floor hallway where it meets the stairs. Did you use hardwood on the second floor hallway? If so, did it match the ligher or darker color. If you used carpet, what color did you use (a brand, style and color recommend would be greatly appreciated)? Thanks and great work! »

Michael Robert Construction The one in the background? It was from Macy's. not sure if its still available but I believe the Baldwin sofa by Arhaus (www.arhaus.com) is the same model. It's a slip covered sofa and we love it!

Michael Robert Construction I don't believe so, but a call to Bloomsburg carpets or your local carpet store should answer that!

Michael Robert Construction, can you please give me the exact name of the paint and the gel stain ( ebony?) - Thank you. I will figure out the ratio measuring. It's exactly what I am looking for. I'm currently working on a 1922 colonial revival - craftsman home. »

Gerri Mooney oh ok I misunderstood when you replied to the other person who asked if it was a paint or stain on the newel and hand rail , you said it was a mixture of paint and stain.......lol sorry, you were meaning the handrail & treads were stain and the trim was paint.

Michael Robert Construction This is true also, but I was actually referring to is what "gel stain" is. Gel stain is a mix of paint and stain- the coverage of a paint, but the consistency of a stain. Sorry for the confusion!

Gorgeous home! What color are the stair treads and hand rail? Is it painted or a stain? »
· Comment · 17 months ago
Michael Robert Construction Thank you so much! They are a gel stain - a sort of mixture between paint and stain- and the color is Ebony.

marschke I agree! Did you use a stain or is this the natural color of the wood?
9 months ago ·
Michael Robert Construction Thank you! We did not use any stain. The water based poly just enhances the natural color.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lisa Frederick to Wedgwood Blue Returns
A hint of texture gives new depth to an old color. Gray-blue grass-cloth walls in this entry feel dignified yet far from stuffy.
added by Laura Gaskill to 10 Ways to Tiptoe Out of Your Decorating Comfort Zone
7. Experiment in the stairwell. The poor, neglected stairwell is a great place to play with new decorating ideas. Try papering the wall (with either a print or something textured, like grass cloth), adding cool geometric carpeting or painting the risers in shades of one hue.
