Mason Brothers Architectural Salvage in Essex, Vermont has a collection of used rosettes. Unfortunately, unless you are near Vermont... I fashioned some rosettes out of some new 5/4 stock cut to size and then 'cheated' the design needed with hole saws, a drill press and some sharp hand wood carving tools. However, if you are willing to pay for the service, any good hardwood mill with the right equipment should be able to duplicate any design and supply you with any quantity you might need. Most upcharges for custom mill services start at an average of $175 for the custom knife and $175 machine setup...at least that is what I've seen around here for basic setup fees.

We have been crazy busy this last week removing all the steel studs, furnace and two 50 gal water heaters from the basement to make ready for the new concrete floor so sorry I am just now getting back to here. We just finished late yesterday and we are both really sore from all that manual labor getting everything out. The company that will be putting in the concrete started at 7 a.m. this morning welding the iron that will hold the corrugated steel sheets that will hold the 4" concrete floor. When they are done with that, we will spend the next three days laying in the vapor barrier to cover the dirt and we also have to put extensions on the two sump pits. Prior to this, we had to have the OSB flooring removed and about 1 foot X 2,200 square feet of expansive soil removed, new helical piers drilled, the second sump pit installed and new perimeter trenches dug and new french drains and rock put in so this has been a horrific costly project. We have done any and all work we can do ourselves to defray costs. Thank you all for so much helpful advice...I appreciate all of it!! We did check into having tubes put into the concrete to carry heated water to heat the floors but about 80% of the floor will be carpeted and we have been told that heated floors would not be efficient with carpet. There may be some great pad to use under the carpet that provides more insulation too. There will be a tiled bath and a work/hobby room that we will put the heated mats under the tile. We may put in a high efficiency stove/fireplace in the future. I have been reading about all kinds of concrete sealers, one has tea tree oil in it which protects against mold and it seals against radon too so I think we will seal the concrete floors for an extra layer of security! We will also have this super heavy duty vapor barrier down on the soil. We live in Colorado so it can get very cold here and we also have radon issues. Back to the stair issue...I have received about 50 responses to the ad I put on Craig's List. One guy said he was experienced with stairs and it was probably a half day job and would be about $100 labor plus materials. That sounds really low but I plan to call each one back and screen them - or at least the ones who answered my ad in the way I asked them to - and the ones that look good I will have come look at the stairs and give me a bid. I realized that it doesn't make much sense to have them look at it until the concrete floor is in which will now be the second week of June.

I live in a very traditional Colonial Revival built in the 1920s, before the advent of mass production tract houses. It was custom built for the president of the Singer Sewing Machine company, and so considered high end for the time. It has 8-ft ceilings, and all the base trim is original. It's in 3 parts, a 7" flat panel, an ogee cap and an ogee shoe molding. All told it is 8" high and looks perfectly proportional. Any time we've done any renovations we've replicated the molding for consistency and aesthics, which I think is important when owning a fairly old home.

Are you talking 5 feet by 5 feet? A twin bed is 39" wide by 75" long. That is 15" longer than your room. The only way this bed might fit is if you angled it from one corner to the opposite.
