The stairway to, upstairs.

I think it's true in most Cape Cods that our stairs are quite steep. For some strange reason we don't have a railing in all the way up. The pretty railing we do have only goes up about a quarter of the way. I didn't want something that was going to take up a lot of space even if that means they don't match in style, so I opted for the round wood one. I ordered a maple one but it never came in. Maple would match our Birch trim that we have in the house. Now my pregnant wife will not have trouble getting up or down the stairs.
