We are finishing building our house and found out the builders no longer put railings on houses after the code was changed a few months back. Now we are debating putting one up ourselves (which we'll probably end up doing) or just leaving it without a railing.

We have the 2 steps up to the landing at the door and 2 columns. Other houses have the rail between the columns and the house and then the stair rail to the ground. I thought about a smaller glider swing on the landing or maybe some nice urns with plants/flowers to dress it up.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Now I'll be looking at everyone's house for ideas as I drive by..

If you could post a photo of the area you are describing it would help start the ideas rolling. It's hard to make suggestions without seeing the area.

lovetoboat, try posting your question over at the House Forum. You'll probably get some good responses over there. You should attach a photo if you can. Good luck with your project!
