Staircase Railing Part One: Iron

Hey there! I am joining Julia’s Hooked on Friday blog party because I am Hooked on Staircase Railing! Click here to join the party and see what other bloggers are hooked on!  She usually starts the party between 9:00-10:00 on Thursday night.  Thanks Julia!

Welcome to Staircase Railing Part One of a four or five part series! If you are in the process of designing your dream home and don’t know what type of staircase railing you want to use, then scroll on down and see if one of these tickles your fancy. If you don’t find it here, there will be several more posts in this series and perhaps the one you want will be in one of those.

This post is a collection of staircase railing (sometimes called balustrade) using iron for the newel, spindles or balusters, and handrail. The designs range from frilly to traditional as wells as simple or contemporary. Perhaps there is an element in one of the photos that appeals to you and that can be your starting place.  Enjoy the beauty of the staircase railing as well as the home in which it lives.  …susan

Thanks for the kind comments regarding the death of my grand-dog. I am most appreciative.
