A century old staircase, reimagined. Light-filled walls, coastal blues, and every cherished detail lovingly restored for a new chapter. ✨

Is it restored if it’s painted? 🤔 It was beautiful before.

The original wood is beautiful but I think it's better to have light colored wood on a stairway. It's so much easier to see where you're walking with lighter colors.

I love it! It looks so bright and cheery and welcoming!

i was fortunate to stay there this year. it is stunning. my room was beautiful. the outside ground r immaculate. highly recommend.

With that said, I appreciate all the work Stonecliffe poured into the updates. It's still pretty but moving forward I wouldn't keep changing all the original wood.

I hate to see the beautiful wood covered, however the new wall color really makes those stained glass windows pop!

The after is gorgeous!

I prefer the old. I would've just brightened it up with a lighter eleghant rug. Maybe also lighter pictures or sconces, but defintely would keep the original wood. Once you paint it, it is so hard to go back.

Oh no!!!!!!!!! Painting woodwork 😭

Nope.

Ruined

Vintage elegance destroyed.

Before is MUCH better! Why do you people have to ruin EVERYTHING?
