                  Is 'balustrading' the word we're not supposed to use? :yikes:

                  When did closet balustrading become non PC?

                      @martin-f you are correct. Everything that you can see in the photo has been made by me. Not only the new wooden things, but the painted ones as well and even the window a few years ago.
