The upper railing has never really bugged me, but once we finished the kitchen, I got a bee in my bonnet to replace the white metal with black wood. Our 6” posts are not the actual 5.5” they are supposed to be, so off to Dad’s garage I went to trim down a lot of pieces to 5.25”. Wesley was thrilled with the scrap pieces it produced.
I’d rather not recall the many redesigns and miscalculations I made, and have to admit that I needed both my dad and my husband to finish this project. The part of me that continues forward and finishes is not always a friend to precision and reflection, also known as “wood-working”. But high gloss black paint covers many an error, and I really like the final result.
