Staircase - large traditional wooden l-shaped wood railing staircase idea in Portland with wooden risers

Just inside the front door, this gorgeous L-shaped staircase offers a warm welcome and leads to the private spaces in the home. The dressed console table invites guests inside.

The owners wanted to update the existing dated staircase by removing the half wall and wood posts. New custom built Chippendale panels replaced the half wall giving the staircase an open feel and allowing more light in. New stairs were also installed from the ground to second floors.

The front entrance of the home was uninviting and uninspiring. We replaced the boring floor tiles with striking marble "bubble" tiles with a black border to define the space. By repainting the doors and the staircase newel posts and handrails black, we created the "wow" entrance to welcome visitors to this updated home. And that black wall mirror in the new "breakfast room" - we repurposed it from the upstairs master bedroom dressing room!

All existing stair parts were refinished to coordinate with updated floor and trim finishes.

Inspiration for a craftsman wooden l-shaped staircase remodel with painted risers

The goal of this project was to create an updated, brighter, and larger kitchen for the whole family to enjoy. This new kitchen also needed to seamlessly integrate with the rest of the home both functionally and aesthetically. The laundry room also needed an aesthetic refresh. What sets this kitchen apart is the laminated plywood edging between walnut cabinetry and the door handle detail integrated within those boundaries.
