I thought we had the same newel post (here's mine: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/41/113893792_d64af25631.jpg) but yours has fancier detail on top. Plus I'll trade my cheapo Lowes replacement railings and balusters and cheesy replacement trim (I have no idea what USED to be on the side of my stairway, but it wasn't cheesy stained 1/2" quarter-round!) for your hideous cottage cheese stucco gross shiny walls any day.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534347532506541550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200824930142871113.post-65270417787388858502007-09-04T11:02:00.000-04:002007-09-04T11:02:00.000-04:00Ah, I must have misread then. :)Ah, I must have misread then. :)Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970754466377061517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200824930142871113.post-87660495896901845642007-08-31T13:02:00.000-04:002007-08-31T13:02:00.000-04:00Oh, Muncie, stop it - I have built-in-bookshelf en...Oh, Muncie, stop it - I have built-in-bookshelf envy of your house!

Did Sunset say what they used? <BR/><BR/>Omar - whoa there, friend. No, we didn't replace the post. You overestimate our skills and motivation (and you flatter me!). ;) Nope, that beauty's an original, though it's a little wiggly.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507356073061905854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200824930142871113.post-44178121281768167042007-08-31T12:41:00.000-04:002007-08-31T12:41:00.000-04:00Wow those are some awesome stairs!

It will be a 3 day strip fest with a little time off to play in the mudroom. Oooh that sounds so dirty! :)<BR/><BR/>I guess our stairs aren't similar since you have that half platform. I still need to figure out how to handle the newel post at the top of our stairs. ergh.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you mentioned how the moss has a rough time when it is hot. I need to find some filler that will be able to handle some seriously hot days. And since the flagstone will be located in some sunny and shady spots, I'll have to be careful. I don't like the idea of grass since I would hate to deal with trimming, but it sure does look pretty! I've heard there is shorter grass (buffalo grass?) that doesn't require mowing. I'll also look into that creeping thyme - partly because I love the idea of creeping time.<BR/><BR/>AndreaThe Litter Box Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503070580810724856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200824930142871113.post-76613225058507834322007-08-31T10:31:00.000-04:002007-08-31T10:31:00.000-04:00I am so envious of your stairs.

Our house is just a one-story bungalow with a finished basement, and let me tell you, the stairs going down to the basement are nothing to write home about. So I have staircase-envy.Dulciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800981000271672126noreply@blogger.com
