When Marilyn wanted to add a more modern finish to her newly built center hall home in Madison, we took a traditional approach with a custom fabricated runner, but with a more transitional floral design. Her classic tones of white, ivory and beige get a modern lift with the gray-on-cream pattern as it comes down the staircase.

Because of her curved walls in the upper hall, we custom fabricated a runner to follow the form, maintaining the right amount of wood exposure, for a contiguous, cohesive design.
