While renovating this staircase, out clients wanted a more modern look that would blend with their love of traditional. While we all loved the airiness that acrylic rods would give, I was unsettled about how it would meld with traditional. I just HAD to find something to give it an edge. Inspired but an antique lucite dining table in my scrap book, I found an antique reproduction brass fitting slated as an antique clock mount. This brass cup is what you see connecting the stair rod to the stairs and floor, adding a touch of traditional to this rich, sinewy staircase.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey
