Hey there, Besties! 🌟

Guess what? Last week, a little birdie (okay, a Google search) told me someone stumbled upon my blog while hunting for the scoop on our loft railing adventure. So, I took a little nostalgia trip and re-read the post myself. And guess what I discovered? Oh, the suspense! I never spilled the beans on where we snagged our railing! 🤭 Can you believe it? Here I am, leaving you all on a cliffhanger about finding that perfect railing!

🌈 Loft and Stair Railing Magic ✨

No more secrets—I'm here to spill the tea today!

We found our stair railing treasure at none other than The Home Depot! Yep, our go-to spot for turning drab to fab. However, our local store was a bit of a tease, only offering the rail kit. So, what did we do? Embarked on a mini-quest to another store for the stair railing, of course! Sure, we could've gone the online shopping route, but James wanted to get up close and personal with our choices. After all, when you're in the thick of home renovation, you want to touch, feel, and ensure no scratch is on your precious finds.

🛠️ Why Go Outdoor for Indoor? 🌿

Now, you might be wondering, "Tiff, why on Earth did you choose outdoor materials for an indoor staircase?" Well, let me tell you, it all boiled down to the $$$! Indoor stair railings were like the high-maintenance friends we all love but can't always afford. So, I waltzed over to their outdoor cousins, and—voila! —the price was just right. Plus, our home is a bit of a unique butterfly, so we figured, why not add a touch of the unconventional?

Our staircase is a quirky blend of indoor charm and outdoor resilience, sporting interior treads hugged by pressure-treated materials. We thought about staining or painting the posts, but honestly? They rocked their natural look. Though, who knows? A splash of color or a dab of stain might be in their future.

🏡 A Perfectly Imperfect Match 🏡

I know, I know, this isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. But in our funky little home, it's just the right kind of weird. And it tickles me pink to think about these outdoor kits living their best life indoors. Seeing them on someone else's porch? Now that's a real plot twist!
