I've been recently working on painting a BEAUTIFUL bookshelf, Josh's best friend made for us to go in our foyer. See when we moved in here the banister that existed could hardly be called a banister. (well maybe I'm being a bit hard on the poor rickety old thing but anyways) Suffice to say, it would not be staying as it was un-safe.
Here's my husband, who stands 6'4". See how short the banister is? (*granted he is not the 'standard' height)
Notice the gap on the bottom- i.e. not safe for when we have babies crawling around who might like to go right under the gap (or stick their head in between the not-up-to-code slats)
No no. It was decided that this puppy needed to go. So out it went.
(Note the HORRIBLE linoleum floor that we found after we ripped up the carpet in the foyer! It's the black stuff)
And so then we were left with this, which is how it looks TODAY (with the exception of 2 pictures I hung on the right wall)...
But not for long because right now I'm in the middle of painting this sucker that will soon find its permanent home running lengthwise in the foyer, complete with baskets for organization and shoe shelves on the bottom!
End capped with this beautiful piece (see safe, aka child proof, aka Josh height and normal people height safe):
Welp, I'm off to go paint. Can't wait to see how this looks when it's all finished and installed! =)
