Our old farmhouse was built around 1900 – when people were apparently very skinny (our stairway is only 33″ wide) and short. The staircase is so narrow that it left us stumped for the last few years on how to add a handrail to bring it up to code, and more recently to make sure neither of us took a tumble with the baby. Then I saw this photo on pinterest and was SO inspired: Since we live in an older farmhouse, we like to use a combination of aged wood, tile/stone, and different metals in our decor. It gives the home a rustic feel, and fits with the age and style of our house. So a metal handrail felt like the perfect choice, and would also sit much closer to the wall than a traditional handrail. We didn’t have a ton of room to work with here, so this was the perfect choice. Not to mention, inexpensive! Materials List: 3 Galvanized Floor Flanges (1″ Diameter) 2 60″ Galvanized Steel Pipes (1″ Diameter) 1 Tee Fitting (1″ Diameter) 2 90 degree Elbow Fitting (1″ Diameter) 3 Pipe Nipple Fitting (1″ Diameter) 2 cans of Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint The first […]

I was NOT a fan of our old handrail. It was just a standard wood one and would have done the trick, but for what I had planned for the hallway it just wasn't going to work. This is what we started with: And after the project was completed we ended up with this: Please excuse Mae's tush. We got the idea for this type of handrail from here: What you need: 3-1 1/4 inch galvanized Tee's -Red dot 3-1 1/4 galvanized 90 degree elbow -Blue dot 2- 1 1/4 inch galvanized caps - Green dot 2- 1 1/4 inch x 6 inch galvanized pipe -Purple dot 2- 1/4 inch x 5 foot galvanized pipe -Orange dot 3- 1 1/4 inch x 2 inch galvanized pipe -Pink dot 3- 1 1/4 inch x close galvanized pipe -Teal dot 3- 1 1/4 inch galvanized floor flanges -Yellow dot The hubby pieced together the entire rail before attaching it to the wall. From there he brought it over and got it hung. One thing, make sure not to tighten things too tight right away, as the handrail gets secured to the wall it shifts and naturally tightens. If it's too tight things can't be adjusted and makes it WAY more difficult! The pipe had an grease coating on it, kind of gross, but with a little persistence and some Goo Gone we were able to take care of it. I'd recommend taking your time with this project. The hubs was on a mission to surprise me and get this done before I got home from work, which he did, but ended with him slamming his thumb nail and getting a pretty gnarly bruise. At least the project was a total win for us which makes the injury somewhat worth it!

Hail yes, friends. It’s that time of year…we are huge Michigan football fans in this house. I know I’ve mentioned that before here. So on Sunday, when the team had an open practice we couldn’t resist heading down to check it out! It was so much fun. After practice, they open up the field to the families to run around. We weren’t able to get Isla onto the field because it was pushing bedtime and she was super grumpy. We did get some cute shots of her in the stadium though, she was so curious about the field! We also got to take a peek at the Jack Roth Stadium Club! It is a bucket list item to watch a game from here one day. Our little lady had a great time, and a few epic meltdowns. Regardless, we’re not-so-secretly hoping that someday she’ll be a student here. It is looking like it will be a great season, and we can’t wait until kickoff on Saturday. Happy college football season, friends! GO BLUE!
