Staircase with Built-In Pantry and Powder Room, HVAC and RailFX Cable Railings

We took the tiny house strategy of multifunctionality to a new level to challenge ourselves with, and hopefully to wow our visitors! Here I show the DIY install of the RailFX cable railings (http://railfx.net), the powder room underneath, and the amazing custom cabinetry my dad built into this 2x12 wall.
