Our banister 5 minutes ago.
My DIY project is continuing, but wanted to give a glimpse of progress.
The wood of the banister is finally revealed.
It is indeed a slow job, but as the layers are stripped back to reveal the natural features I feel the house is beginning to breathe.
Watch this Space!

It is our hall, staircase and landing which I am re-decorating. I have taken all of the wallpaper off, stripping back the woodwork and than painting the walls, some of the woodwork and just waxing the manster/handrail.
Dot,
Always a pleasure.
Your photographs are really awesome.
