Very nice table. Love it I can't give any help on colors as I can't determine what the colors are on my cheap PC. I did hear that Green is supposed to be the new color of the year though. Not sure I'm liking that so much. It's one of my favorite colors, however it is ssssooooooooooooooo hard to use. Too many shades

Stairway revamp

You can leave the handrail the same distance from the wall as it is now. Leave it connected to the newel post at the top; remove the newel post at the bottom, and add what's called a 'return' to anchor the bottom end to the wall. Then add a couple of brackets going up the stairs. The challenge is that the return should match the profile of the handrail, in order to blend, but check at the home center or a lumber yard/mill to see if you can match it (take measurements/drawings/close-up photos, etc.). As for painting the stairs--be careful with "fun" graphics. The treads and risers need to be clearly defined and regular. For example, a plaid or check that doesn't match the tread and riser exactly at each step is a trip hazard and may not meet building codes. People need to be able to see the treads clearly even without paying attention to them. Walking is an unconscious activity and we need to make it as easy as possible. Confusing patterns are a menace. In NYC, they put new edges on treads on one stairway at one train station that were designed to make them less slippery. However, they also made it more difficult to discern the edge of the tread. In 6 weeks, more than 1,400 people fell down those stairs. Then they redid them. Over 90% of injuries on stairs happen during descent. I highly recommend Bill Bryson's great book 'At Home--A Short History of Private Life'. The NYC anecdote above came from Chapter 14--'The Stairs'. Fascinating and amusing book. My house is 100 years old, so I feel your pain dealing with the changes and additions that happened over time.

Painting shelves sides of fireplace and sitting room uplighting
Q

I have picked Farrow and Ball Oval Room blue paint for the walls which is really nice with the curtains and 2 couches. Should I paint the inbuilt cupboards and shelves all the same colour or keep them neutral? Also the room has uplighting all around it. Should I just do the walls in blue or continue it under and up the side of the uplighting coving?? Decision, decisions, thanks for the help!
