As part of the building conversion project, the client required the pine staircase to be extensively modified. The stair spindles were to be replaced with oak spindles as well as the bannister, purchased seperately by the client, and 3 matching oak doors similarly purchased to be modified to fit under the stairs, in order to create cupboard storage areas in 3 sections. The collection of photographs bellow depict the process at each stage. The doors had yet to be oiled by the client in the final pictures, hence the difference in colour. See also the earlier part of this project HERE.

DURING The spindles, bannister and newel were all replaced in oak however, the newel base cannot be romoved as it forms part of the stairs. This, and the stair side facing the hall, were clad in oak prior to the understairs work commencing.	DURING	DURING

AFTER The client's words "It looks stunning" sums up this project. The storage space beneath the stairs gives ample storage space for the family of 4. When the oak is oiled it will all match with the oak flooring and doors, already fitted.	AFTER	AFTER
