Stairs with side wall bases and new railing mockup
Debora suggested I reconsider the railing to have a more open look and sent me a photo showing an example I hadn't seen. All the railings I had seen involved intricate wrought iron work. It hadn't occurred to me to use a basic iron railing that could be made from wood dowels.
I cut down the side walls to the height of the stone portion. I taped a dowel to two porch posts to see how it would look. The lower one might be replaced by a column...not sure yet. And, it looks like I'm back to porch columns instead of brackets. I measured the arch to allow a person to walk through to the side lawn and to accommodate a door on the front of the building.
Here I've taped the posts and railing in place on the building. Keep in mind these will be more aligned later, but I don't want to cut the materials until I am ready for them. I think these changes add a lot of visual interest.
