hi, we just renovated our stairs, and although I think it's a huge improvement, I would love to hear your opinions on the change. the newel posts we got look bigger than I imagined they would, so I want to make sure they look ok. no way to change it now, but I'm feeling unsure and want to hear what other houzzers think. thanks a bunch! (paint work is getting done tomorrow, thinking BM white dove on walls with brilliant white for trim)
