I recently did a major renovation for a home. The home was built in the 1990s, and its style reflected that period. Beyond major updates, like the kitchen, I also upgraded quite a few other areas of the home. One of those was the staircase to the second level. The original staircase had a rounded base and very dated posts. I built detailed new posts and modified the base stair to a more modern square appearance. Naturally, I also updated the hand rails and spindles. The results was modern, yet traditional.
