Before: The old railings582 viewsThe original railing was black wrought iron. The previous owner went on an almond binge and painted almost everything in the house almond -- all of the oak trim, doors, cabinets, walls-- and this railing. We have converted most of the almond trim and doors to white, but we left this railing almond, knowing it was just going to be replaced soon anyway.

Completed rails after finishing575 viewsThe finished view, from the top! We used a Minwax stain finish, which matched the color of our floors and related trim. Then we installed three coats of Minwax rub-on polyurethane. This was the first time we used rub-on poly, and we loved it. It was a joy to work with, especially with so many hard-to-reach surfaces to cover.
