Staircase and Hallway Entry with cozy Nook

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKX7VpjV0ZI

Combination Entryway, Stairwell and Hallway get a simple makeover by painting the stair railing pickets white and staining the handrail and stair treads a deep rich espresso. Adding a fresh ficus tree in the center of the staircase and adding an antique sideboard which was stained espresso as well. Add to that, Stacking Mirror and art pieces, a buffet lamp and silk roses and you have a beautiful, yet understated walkthrough to the fabulous Family room :-)

Robeson Design I purchased this at an antique store in Sn Diego. It was a serious cherry color. I had it stained espresso to go with the rest of the furniture in the project,

sanls hi, I just want to say that looking at your designs, I am inspired. We are building a home. we are on a limited budget and would like to have a green, beige and blue them all around the house. We have 2 young kids. Would you suggest we go with colored sofas (green/blue) or neutral color. family room we are planning on getting dark leather sofa. All wood floors. I know you are very busy, but I think its smart to ask for help from an expert. please help..

What product did you use to darken the railing? - What product did you use to darken the staircase railing to update it. I watched your youtube videos, and you mentioned "ghost coating". Is this a polyurethane with stain in it? You are really enjoyable to watch and have a fun and approachable personality, not to mention that your design style is incredible!! I wish I could come work for you for a year, I could near a thing or two! »

Robeson Design Thank you Karen,
To be honest with you, I don't really know what product Oscar my stainer and cabinet builder uses. Its something he has concocted.... He says its a transparent lacquer. He sprays it on with a ghetto spray pump and I know he mixes the products but I never see the original containers so I don't really know. I wish I had an answer for you...... tons of people ask.
Thanks for following us on YouTube, ......means a lot!

Karen Spiritoso Home Designs By Karen You are so sweet to get back to me, I know you are very busy and I am sure get bombarded with tons of questions so I appreciate your feedback even more. I will try mixing up something (polyurethane and stain) and then doing a spray finish...I will watch you on NBC and congrats for making such a name for yourself!! Well deserved, I can tell design for you is such a passion and a part of you that you don't mind being generous with you knowledge and that makes you a very generous person too. Best of luck! Karen

A touch of greenery is an inviting way to welcome guests to your home. This entryway by Robeson Design is accented by a ficus tree, which has smaller leafy plants planted at its base for a double dose of flora.More:Retro Houseplants Get a New LookThe Succulence of Succulents in the Home5 Reasons to Design With Houseplants
