Showcase: A Custom Baby Gate

Custom Baby Gate on Our Stairs

Custom Baby Gate on Our Stairs

When our toddler became obsessed with the stairs, we knew we needed a baby gate to keep her off of them. We quickly grew tired of a regularly baby gate, which was neither pretty nor easy to step over because of its height.

Because we have a custom stair railing, a commercial swinging gate would not work. Sean, however, was able to build this custom gate at a height that allows the rest of our family (even our older girls) to step over it, while still keeping the baby off the steps. Even better, it matches our stair railing and looks as if it is part of the decor.

Do you have a piece of furniture or feature in your home that you love because it combines simplicity and beauty? Send me an email to submit it for a future Showcase!

I love this! It definitely blends in with the staircase. Our front door opens right into a view of a hallway and staircase which is gated off. It looks so ugly! If we owned this house, I think we would create some kind of custom solution like this one. Nice work!
