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]

[@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..🌟

[@ejahello4223]

The banister is gorgeous - KEEP 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.

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.

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.

[@westernnut8407]

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

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. 😊

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 ❤.

[@darlene9154]

I’d paint the railing black. I think it’s beautiful ❤

[@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.😪

[@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 😊

[@ekomomaimm]

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.
