Renovation of Dolores Catania’s house: before and after photos of the staircase

After a year-long renovation, Dolores Catania recently shared that “things are finally moving forward” at her home. Sure, The Real Housewives of New Jersey the actor is thrilled to show off his home updates.

In a March 9 Instagram post, Dolores shared a preview of her “new stairs” from Stair Warehouse. As seen in its before and after photos, the revamped staircase now features beautiful white railings and chic wrought iron balusters.

Doing the stairs was especially important to Dolores. On the February 8 episode of RHONJ, Dolores told Margaret Josephs, “I don’t have railings on the stairs. Dogs fall like it’s a cliff.” When Margaret replied, “It’s no good, you have to put up the railings,” Dolores explained, “I don’t want railings until the furniture arrives, but there’s no furniture that are coming.”

Last month, Dolores showed off two more gorgeous home updates. In a February 17 Instagram post, she was all smiles as her “stylish [and] handcrafted black garage doors were on display behind her. [love] them!” she captioned. Because, as Dolores said in a Feb. 13 post, “every Jersey girl needs a beautiful closet,” she also worked with Robin Laura Designs to give her closet a breathtaking makeover.

While Dolores waited for her ex-husband, Frank Catania, to finish renovating the house, she moved into a stunning rental townhouse. As Dolores showed in the video above, her temporary home has a “light and bright” kitchen, a “beautiful” bedroom and a glamorous bathroom. After moving into the rental house, Dolores loved it so much she admitted on the Feb. 8 episode of RHONJ“I don’t want to go home.”

Watch the video above to see Dolores take a full tour of the beautiful townhouse.
