I can chose to cover the three steps you see there to the right, with the same hardwood as the floor hardwood
I can chose the leave the 9 steps to the rigth as they are, maybe refinish them
The problem that I will have is with the spindles and the posts you see in the picture, that is where the mismatch will be,. That and the bottom plate that the spindles and the posts will sit on in the landing zone
The new color/stain is a couple of posts above.
I am considering painting the posts and the spindels black or go with chrome spindles and wood posts, white oak
