H&H, Amy Griffith of Broken Box Designs, and interior designer Vida Shore teamed up to transform a series of chopped up, under-utilized rooms into a open communal space. The team added a substantial beam in the ceiling and removed multiple walls to create a larger kitchen and more connected living space. This first floor remodel included the addition of custom pocket dog gates, a staircase remodel, kitchen remodel, and new built-in shelving. Photos by Jeff Amram Photography.

Designed for a bright and open interior, this staircase features custom wood newel posts that add depth, texture, and visual interest to a modern living space. The clean lines of the staircase are balanced by the elegant curves of the turned posts, creating a look that is both contemporary and timeless. Paired with exposed brick, natural oak flooring, and abundant natural light, the staircase contributes to a cohesive interior design that feels warm, modern, and effortlessly stylish.

The stairway to the finished basement features locally sourced, reclaimed barn timbers that have been repurposed as newel posts. The clean metal railing bridges the gap between modern and rustic. The timbers serve as a reminder of the agricultural landscape that surrounds the home.

Some staircases blend into the background. This one commands attention. These four real-home installations showcase our NP001 Modern Craftsman Newel Post — a design that bridges the gap between traditional woodworking and contemporary interior style. With its signature tapered column, stacked block detailing, and chamfered cap, the NP001 brings architectural weight and visual interest without overwhelming the space. What makes this design especially versatile is how beautifully it pairs with matte black metal balusters. That wood-and-iron contrast — warm oak or rich dark walnut against sleek powder-coated steel — is one of today's most sought-after looks in transitional and modern-craftsman interiors. These projects prove it works equally well in a light-filled modern stairwell, a cozy carpeted hallway, or an elegant upper-level landing. Project highlights: Newel post: NP001 Modern Craftsman Style: Transitional / Modern Craftsman Wood species: Red Oak — shown in natural and dark walnut stain finishes Balusters: Matte black metal, square profile Handrail: Straight oak rail, matching stain Settings: Private residences — multiple installations The NP001 is available in multiple sizes and wood species, with custom stain matching available upon request. Whether you're a homeowner planning a weekend renovation or a contractor sourcing components for a high-end build — this post delivers every time.
