Visible from the living and dinig rooms, the stair and inglenook are finished with a rich wood palette of open knot cherry and oak. Hidden cabinets underneath the stair have doors that match the pantry cabinets across the space: open-knot cherry, in this case glazed with translucent resin with an interlayer of pressed ferns. Stair materials include ebonized oak treads, orbital-sanded copper-face risers, and oak balusters with steel channels in the edges.
