    Saying Goodbye to The Scroll Stairway Railing

    April 19, 2017 by Ashley Mayes 29 Comments

    Gosh, it's already Week 3 of the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home. It's about time for panic mode for sure. We have a ton to do still. This past week, we mainly made plans for the rest of the space. Lots of things are going on but nothing has been accomplished yet. HOWEVER, we did figure out that we can get rid of the Scroll Stairway Railing. Yay!

    Luke picked up some metal blades for the grinder over the weekend and spent about thirty minutes on the railing on the back stairwell.

    During that time, I think he got about two sets of scrolls completely off.

    This project is going to be a time-intensive project because we still have to sand and paint the railings after the scrolls are off; BUT, I think it's going to look so much better!

    Another thing that got done, was our old doors and new doors have all been picked up. They are off to be prepped for the hardware and painted. I'm so excited!

    Another thing that I'm excited for are these new brass doorknobs!

    Aren't they the most gorgeous knobs that you've ever seen? Love them.

    So, that's all for this week. I'm hoping to have all the wall painting done for the update next week as well as a plan figured out for the entryway table. Wish me luck.

      Wow! When I cut scrolls off of our outdoor railing they came off so easy! I think it will be worth the work though!

      Somehow I felt sad to see the scrollies go. They really are nice scrollies! But your plan looks so amazing, it's all I can think about now. you have a beautiful entryway. Can't wait to see more. Susie from The Chelsea Project

        I think they are nice too but they were just so overwhelming for the space. I think in person, it was just a lot!

      Yay for getting rid of the scolls! I would just cut them off with a reciprocating saw and then grind them down. They're going to look so good!!

      Wow, what an undertaking that railing is. I feel your pain as we are currently renovating our staircase. Our railing was hideous 90's garbage and totally unsalvageable, so we are rebuilding it. I'm so curious to see how yours will look after its makeover! I'm sure it will be a 100% improvement. Sending you all the good luck vibes!!!

      By one means or another I felt pitiful to see the scrollies go. They truly are decent scrollies! Yet, your arrangement looks so astounding, it's everything I can consider now. you have an excellent door. Can hardly wait to see more.

        They are nice to be honest, just overwhelming with all three sets within eye distance.

      Good luck on all the railing work, Ashley! I can't want to see how it looks without the scrolls.
