House remodel: Stair rail

So this is to serve as a first post. Stef and I have never blogged, face-booked or my-spaced; to any great extent. I guess it is time we join the rest of society on the internet. Moving on.

Stef and I recently moved to Waterville, OH and purchased a home in a quiet neighborhood. We've been slowly fixing it up. I didn't realize how much I like wood working and finish carpentry. There's something satisfying about seeing wood take shape into a larger theme. Colors, contrasts, shapes and lines with wood are good. Below is a portion of the hallway in our home that Stef and I have been re-working. We pretty much gutted it down to the subfloor and replaced most of the doors and fixtures.

See before. Ugh.














And after.


















The cat is not made of wood, but is organic none the less. I try to mold her by feeding her diet food, but she eats my ipod ear buds in protest. So far I'm losing; 4-0. *Shakes hands at cat.*
