Help with a Staircase
We have built a new house and I have messed up the main staircase and need any ideas about how to fix it.
The stair treads are olive wood (a mid tone), the risers are white, and the spindles are black iron.
I had spec'd the handrail and post as paint grade and so they are made of maple, however I was told the post would stain fine so decided to match it to the treads which worked out reasonably well (except for the fact that the maple didn't take the stain quite as well as I would have liked).
The problem is that I had the handrail sprayed white and it looks terrible together.
I don't know if I should paint out the post white, paint the post and handrails black (or dark brown) to match the spindles or try to strip the hand rails (ugh) and stain to match the post.
Any other ideas would be great too!
Thanks for your help
