Banister Beautification

80's oak.  It's the gift that keeps on giving in here.  Our splotchy and dated entryway banister was just another part of the house in need of a makeover.
(Stairway before and after.)
Since it's the first thing you see when you come in the front door, we really wanted to freshen it up.  I didn't like the style of the spindles, but painting them white (with the same Valspar paint we used on our trim) made them look a hundred times better.  
(Spindles and outer stair border now in white.)
The rails recieved a couple coats of dark gray high gloss paint from Sherwin William's called Gray's Harbor.  Eventually, the trim on the other side will be white too, and we'll paint the walls the same light gray color that carries into the living room.  It will be nice to tie some of the rooms together in time.
