I’m team Carlo for the banister, also he’s always so accommodating to your choices. Change the color if you wish, but to me it says Tuscany.

[@joyceconnor2913]

My thoughts, too. The bannister adds interest, plus safety. Change the color, but leave the bannister, please.

[@pinknosechronicles]

I like the railing. It added charm. I worry the dogs will walk right off the end of the step. I wish we could have seen more of the first salvage shop. It was intriguing and something we don’t have here in Canada or at least not such old lovely things. I hope you go back to that shop. Thanks for sharing ❤ Love to sweet Holly

[@danielbobberson9849]

@@pinknosechronicles agree rail looked fine to me and is a safety consideration. As one gets older railings are nice to have.

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

I absolutely love the railing! It’s just beautiful and practical. If you wish to have it metallic, they do have metallic spray paint which you can go outside or in the back room, just put down a drop cloth and against the wall as well and open the windows and doors. It’s pretty easy to do if that is what ypu want. You can paint them any color really. When spray painting..better to spray it gently once on each side.wait for it to dry then gently again...so you don’t get streaks. It gets the best coverage but you cannot overdo ..better to do a couple of go’s after waiting for it to dry completely..which is pretty fast actually. Outside it needs to be a non windy calm day...or you can get bugs and dirt blowing into it. Not to mention dog hair, etc..🌟

The railing could be painted the same white as the walls, to blend in, but provide a pop of texture. I love all your experiments, and such fun to see your friends and Skye joining in the adventure. Waiting for Carlo’s thoughts. Hello, Julie! ✌️❤️🏘️

[@micheledeluca2246]

I think the railing should be painted black or even a matte black, to mimic wrought iron. It’s a really lovely feature and would hate to see it not used…not to mention the safety issues without it! 😮

[@cindyd.5507]

I vote to keep the banister but paint it black, it was one of the things that gave the house character.

[@ladikmk]

I think it's beautiful too, and since the red floral curtains are going to be a focal point for design/colors, the floral banister painted a matte black would be a lovely complement as well.

I see Carlo getting so much love in the comments. Yet there are only a couple of comments about him being laughed at for struggling with English (minute 9:09). He's made so much progress and didn't deserve that, especially after making the effort to find out about the pricing of the tiles. I guess, as the saying goes, "no good deed goes unpunished!"

[@maggiegray1698]

Think they were laughing at " order able" which isn't a word. As in" can it be ordered". Not laughing at Carlo but rather the situation

[@ValerieBarris]

I love the staircase banister!!! It gives your home a little class. It's the vocal point of your home. It sold me when I saw it. I've never seen one so so beautiful.

[@christinedelfino5322]

Lol I love the iron work on the stairs, you should paint it black first then see . But Surprise lol🎉 can’t wait to see 😂😂

[@sandrasydney3039]

Nicki the bannister is a beautiful feature - the problem is the powdercoat finish. A faux copper & verdigris matt finish would be fabulous and match with your new sofa, blend with the stair tiles and add an authentic tuscan charm.

[@leecarr5497]

Sneaky girls, Carlo wont trust you alone in renovation again!! It is all coming along and beginning to look amazing. How lucky you are in Italy where there are stores that sell such a huge selection of pre-loved furniture items. I must confess I am freaked by pre-loved items so never touch them, but can watch others select and make them beautiful again. enjoy your renovations and take good care, all the very best to Carlo's dad on his recovery. A great week to you all. 🥰

[@Allgoodthingsbeyond55]

The bannister is also a safety feature for going up and down the stairs. Put it back and paint it a different color.

[@laurenglass4514]

I think the bannister added charm. I am all for Niki putting her house just the way she wants it; she has been successful in the past.

[@kookietherapy9398]

I love the banister, reminds me of an old 50s movie w Audrey Hepburn. Kick those women out.😄😄

[@traceyhellsten649]

Sorry Nicki, but I'm with Carlo on this one. I love the wrought iron railing! 😮. It's only that yellow color that I don't care for. I kept trying to picture them in black, lol.

That beautiful staircase banister brings elegance to your living space, it's a focal point as soon you enter the house. So charming.

[@MDWJS]

I think a good balance between you and Carlo. I think the banister is necessary for safety considering those stairs are marble and I'm sure you can spray painted metallic or something.

[@Bellasand45]

Well, Carlo can make a rail on the stairs wall just for security. If they put the sofa under the stairs, there won’t be any problem if they fall😅 they will fall down on the sofa.😂😂. Just kidding Nicki and Carlo ❤.

[@mamamia_222]

If you haven't already bought the tiles, I highly recommend bringing those curtains with you while you shop, and anything else so that you can see how the colors play together.

[@patriciahadley2374]

I'm not fond of staircases without some kind of handrail. Especially if a person has got wonky and painful knees, or for elderly people who feel insecure on their legs. The one that those two very naughty girls removed was rather unique and might look nice in a toned down colour. Sigh! I miss Tuscany so much, it is probably the most beautiful region in Italy. Seeing the beautiful countryside surrounding Nicki's property reminds me of Lucca, where I lived for 23 years. Modena just isn't the same.😪

[@BrunetteVignette]

Take it or leave it suggestion: The tile will last longer than the curtains so make sure it's something that you can live with when you're tired of the curtains, but also, don't let the tile have too much similar design to your curtains or it will be a scene stealer. 😊

[@booker0110]

Yes, and don’t overdo the strong patterns, the end result could be too random.

[@godisfrusciante]

Hold onto the banister. You may want it in a decade or two when you are older. The option will easily be there for you. You could always weld or cut the floral pieces off and make it more contemporary.

[@judithfryer7024]

Just watched Julie's video. Nice to see from both angles x

Move the table. Put sofa against the wall. Nothing against the stairway. But the banister back. Don’t block the radiator.

[@LaReynedEpee]

When I first saw the banister I thought it was gold-coloured and quite a nice feature in an otherwise blank room. I now realise it's yellow and agree that's not so nice, but if it were possible I'd sand blast it and spray it gold. I don't think it's wise to not have a banister there. Myself I don’t like the look of it without, but it's not up to me! 😄 That was a great reclamation yard, I'd want everything. Now I know why many Italian homes look so elegant and beautiful 😊

[@vesnamehmet2768]

Goodness.., keep the bannister! People pay a fortune for them… your colours should be cream and sage for everything with the hydrangea colour to be only 10 percent.. example cushion,art or few decor items and your house would look stylish, homey and beautiful. Just saying not every item or area has to have all 3 colours remember 60 cream 30 sage and 10 cranberry..my 2 cents worth 🥰

It actually makes more sense to switch the dining table and couch areas. Just slowly add some white paint to your new can until it matches your house.

I agree, I think it looks much better with the railing taken down. I would use them somewhere in the garden, possibly with a pretty vine growing on it. I would replace the top railing too with something less ornate. Love watching the progress you and Carlo are making on the house.

Enjoyed your visit with Julie. I agree I don’t like the iron banister either and it’s good that you took it off. Just a thought maybe a wooden banister made by the carpenter that’s making your kitchen cabinets. Something to hold onto while you’re going up and down the steps. You can always put a lovely blanket over the banister. Glad to hear Carlo’s father is doing well. I enjoy watching you and Carlo renovating your Tuscany Home. ⭐️👍
