Erasing/patching a stairwell - photos of the process

Here are pictures of the process of getting rid of a stairwell. It's
not perfect, but it does look pretty good, and I'm not unhappy with
the results.

I agree, looks fine. Know those little plastic boxes that cherry tomatoes
come in? Unless someone knows of a smaller mesh container. Sprayed
black/pewter-grey it could become a heat register like they used to have on
the floors in older houses? Lose the post, it looks wrong unless it's glued.
park a toy box on the end, away from the wall.

I could also use it to make a wrought-iron gate. I'd been wondering
how I could do that. Thanks!

It's already lost. The set is already put away for a future house. I
only put it in the photo to demonstrate how badly designed the
stairwell was.

Is that to hide the plug in the upstairs floor? No need. I'm going to
be creating the same flooring that I did for the lower floor (cofee
stirrers mounted on posterboard), and covering the entire floor
including the plywood. It'll be pretty much invisible.

Thanks both of you for the comments!

The toy bos idea was top keep children away from the grate? Can have them
walking on it?
