This is the homeowner: The posting above refers to Circa lighting which iis a good source, but this lantern over the stairs is actually from Currey and Company lighting. It is the Grayson lantern, large size. I might have changed the finish to a a slightly darker color (slight upcharge) like old iron or dark bronze, but I'm not sure, or it might be ok left as is in French Black. The glass is beautiful on it.July 11, 2012

I would love to help you---it is just that we do so many projects and when they are complete, they are archived. The best way to get a color that enhances the space you live in is detailed in this blog I wrote. Best wishes. http://clawsonarchitects.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-color-is-that-how-to-select.htmlFebruary 20, 2013

Can you please tell me what height you hung the large chandelier?
- Are those 9 ft ceilings on both floors? Can you also tell me the size of the chandelier?
Clawson Architects, LLC
Ceilings are 9'-0" on both floors. Can not remember anything about the light fixture.August 10, 2012

railings and steps
step15
I love the stain color on the railing but would not like to go as dark with the floor since there is a walnut border that I would like to show. Will it look right with darker railing and lighter stain on the floor?

What type of hardwood floor is this?? color/stain used??
Clawson Architects, LLC
“What color? --has to be the most asked question I get on Houzz. I hesitate to answer the question because I feel it is very misleading. I wrote a blog to explain. Please take the time to read it.
http://clawsonarchitects.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-color-is-that-how-to-select.html
I will also share the color …half-heartedly, not because I don’t like to share, but because I fear that it will not work out based on what I explain in the blog.
...and here is the discussion on this photo and the floors and how they were finished.

For future reference...what color is the most popular question by far on houzz.
It is not necessary to wait for the answer from me as I am certain that you could find this if you toggle through the questions asked about the image.
I also wrote a blog...as it is very dangerous to go about painting a room based on what you see on your screen. I am passing on the link again for your reference. http://clawsonarchitects.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-color-is-that-how-to-select.html
and because no one is ever satisfied until I cough it up...as if I am hiding some type of industry secret....
The color of the foyer is 927 Benjamin Moore. All trim is Atrium White Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo. The ceilings are 50 percent atrium white and 50 percent flat white mixed.

What kind of wood is the hardwood floors ?
Oak & Broad
That beautiful Rift & Quartered Oak flooring. The stain looks beautifully custom.

Color of Rail and Newel versus the floor
Clawson Architects, LLC
so the floors are strips of oak and the railing is one piece so it is solid and takes stain differently. It is a darker stain than the floor.
