Simple stick-style staircase balusters on the staircase were replaced with alternating vertical and spiral fluted balusters inspired by the roped corner boards on the home’s exterior. Scrolled skirt boards were added to the stairs, modeled after the Italianate brackets on home’s exterior. The stair treads and flooring were replaced with reclaimed antique oak. The handrail and newel posts were re-used. High wainscot paneling add formality and character.
