New quilt hanger
My husband is redoing our stairway (with my guidance!) and we are going to use wrought iron balusters. I always envisioned a quilt being hung on the 2 story high blank wall so he made a quilt hanger with a wrought iron rod.
We rarely throw things away we might use later, the wood is the original door to the closet in the original bathroom of our Craftsman style home that's been in storage for the last 25-30 years. I gave it sort of a distressed look that I think will compliment the fabric cupboard finish, which isn't done yet.
I asked my daughter a while ago about the wrought iron balusters and she said that I should probably use wrought iron in a few places to tie it all together. I already have the wrought iron look knobs for the cabinet doors.
It's hung, quilt still in progress. I'm trying my hand at a bargello quilt, and will make what looks to be a time consuming quilt from a pattern I bought while we were in Alaska for our 25th wedding anniversary to take its place when it's done.

Love the door it's hanging from also! I have a vaulted ceiling also and have a quilt hanging high. Be forewarned, you'll soon make quilts to hang on it. DS loves it when a quilt comes down from the "show" and he gets it.

We're painting the walls of the whole downstairs that can be seen from these stairs. I picked a paint that goes with our floor tile, a tile chosen because it kind of blends with the dogs foot prints.(I actually took a clump of dirt with me to choose the tile) It's kind of a gray-tannish mottled blend color. To me the paint tools tan, to my husband it looks grayish, so success! It blends with the floor. (However in this photo, it looks gray to me)
