Stairway to Heaven

We have the stairway from the great room to the 3rd floor landing in and it is AWESOME! Brian and Mark will be working on the railings now, safety first, but it is so cool to have this feature done.

Andy hung this piece in the great Hall stair case. 

  Andy has been working on alot of light fixtures at home and we were hanging them this weekend and seeing where they looked best.
 

 Most of the fixtures are antiques or brand new from lowes and painted black and rubbed with silver. You'll have to try and figure out which is old and which is new.

                                      Either way, new or old, they are very cool and very castley!

 I was lucky enough to get the assignment of cleaning the storeroom. I didn't take a picture before, but Andy said he couldn't find anything. Well, you can now, Mr. Ramsgard. So clean

                         Andy in the entry bathroom placing the hardware where he wants it for Brain and Mark

the hardware. The loopy thing is for a hand towel and the lock is for the bathroom door.

                        the speak easy on the front of door, as previously seen on bedroom doors.

 Sipping my coffee this morning in great hall and admiring the new stairs and all the other details.

 as I continued to sip my  offee, my king was putting mirros into mirror frames he had Matteo paint black. Got 2 of these mirrors at swift shop for $25. He's a good shopper, that king of mine.

  As the guys were woring in great room building stairs, they moved all furniture out of great room, into the library. This is what I saw as I came up second floor in library.

                        Andy put in hardware for rest of beds, so Maria could come and hang rst of bed curtains.
