      I'd keep the the first part the original beautiful dark brown bannister and paint the rest white, because you have three different tones of wood going on, which makes it look like they've been updated at different times.

    • @Ga0966
      @Ga0966 3 года назад +8

      I would get someone to sand it properly and then stain the bannister a lighter stain so it’s not such an dark stain. So it’s more of a light feel but still a lovely wooden contrast and natural material in your house.

  • @amiila
    @amiila 3 года назад +278

    For the staircase, I wouldn’t paint it white, but the current ‘wash’ is so so dark. Maybe a more neutral wood would (haha no pun) compliment a neutral runner. ✨ beautiful either way!

    • @gabbiehepworthh

    My two pence worth 🤣and having lived in Brighton for 20 years in a similar home ..... Half shutters in the front room, it allows for privacy whilst also providing lots of light (people walking past love to have a nosey!) In respect of the bannister, white painted staves with a natural wooden hand rail and head post is a classical, lovely look.

    My parent's house has a similar layout but we have always called the office room the study, I think it has a more relaxed homely vibe than office. It is where bookshelves and instruments are as well as a desk and a sofa, and was the room for quiet and concentration whereas the front room was for TV and socialising. The perfect combo you are so lucky!

    If it was up to me I would definitely switch between the front living room to the office. Then open up the one wall part to the kitchen making an open flow between the kitchen and the living area (where now there is the kitchen sink and you planning on doing utility) while keeping the office separated and quite. Also you’ll have garden exit straight from the living room (and can place the tv one side of the the fireplace and the other side will be a custom books) how great is that?

    I’m so excited! Just a word on your ‘utility’ room. Here in Australia, it is standard to have a full laundry room with double sinks, windows, door leading outside, and when we renovated ours, we had built in cupboards fitted in the entire room. It’s actually really nice, done in the same black and white tile colour scheme as the bathrooms, with subway wall tiling to the ceiling.

    The house has so many lovely original details, it's cool that you want to keep them. I noticed that you have very few or no rugs, but I guess it's because you're doing the windows? I think rugs in the living room and office will make the rooms feel so much cozier. Have a nice Sunday, Anna!

    For the windows, a half shutter would be beautiful. You'll get more light, show off your windows and still maintain the beauty of those shutters.
    Stairs - if painted white you'd lose the visibility of the features. Perhaps you could consider sanding the wood bank to lighten it up a little, so it's more neutral but still showcases those features.
    Stunning home, very much my style also!!

    My gran had shutters in her bedroom growing up that accordioned (is that a word?) open. They would meet in the middle and latch. She could open the latch and fold the shutters away when she wanted more light in, then close them back at night. That’s a nice way to have them because you can have all the privacy you want, then throw them open and enjoy the sunshine.

    Hi Anna,
    Your house is lovely! I suggest sanding and re-staining the banister to the color or the floors and spindles. White won't show the beautiful detail, and the original stain is too dark, I think.
    Also, as a suggestion, perhaps move the book case and apothecary chest away from the fireplaces. They give the rooms an uneven look and might look nice on another wall leaving the fireplaces central.

    Beautiful home - thanks for inviting us in! Whether you choose shutters or curtains, if you watch TV in that room I would have an option to cover the windows completely to minimize glare. Also consider moving the doorway cluster to the windows so you have a bigger wall opposite the couch for more flexibility with TV or furniture placement. We moved a room opening and it wasn’t a big deal.

    I love how you and Mark appreciate the history and original features of the house because it gives character to the ambiance. It is so refreshing as you go through the process of renovations.
    I agree with Mark but probably a more unified and lighter shade of wood both for the whole banister and staircase would look classic and modern at the same time, but also I think white could show more dust than a natural wood tone.
    The only thing I missed during this tour were the new windows reveal! You spoke so highly of them... :)

    I agree with Mark. Keep the railing the wood that it is. Once you change the carpet to a neutral I think you'll like it much more!

    Beautiful home! 😍 I wouldn’t paint the banisters - they are stunning!

    We've painted our spindles white but kept the banister and the newel post in the original wood and I like the contrast of that. You've also got a much more ornate newel post than us so think it would stand out more in the wood, in a good way. If you were thinking of painting it all a dark colour then my opinion may change, love the look of an all dark staircase, banister and all!

    Hi from New Zealand! What a lovely home, congrats to you and Mark. I’d paint the spindles white or a light colour and leave the newel post and bannister rail natural as they are. Agree with others too that half shutters or shutters you can open at half point would look great and let you still have lots of light but privacy. Some long curtains along with them could be really elegant and super cosy too, especially in winter. Also think understair powder room is really good option if it’s feasible. Looking forward to seeing it evolve!

    Ooh for the living room I think half shutters, or curtains that ensure privacy and warmth in winter, you wanna be chic but also not visible to everyone in the evening! I would keep the stairs as they are or make it all one big storage space not two! Also that shelving in the utility space looks really useful and cool, could be an awesome feature

    Great buy! Agree with Mark on the stairs. Keep the beautiful post dark, with white spindles. Classic! Window shutters: how about painting them a dramatic color? Could look really cool.

    I agree with Mark as well. Keep it natural. I painted my staircase white and I regret it. Also that skirting board is gorgeous.

    I love your staircase runner!! I know you guys want a neutral but I feel like it ties in the dark colour of the bannister and doesn't make the contrast so stark, plus it's a lovely pattern.

    Thank you for allowing us inside your home! Such a special property. So love your overall approach to home ownership, renovation, etc. Lovely and refreshing. But sorry Anna, I'm with Mark on keeping the original wood on the banisters!
