Before. Carpet, painted wrought iron handrail, shredded carpet on the bottom step from previous owners' dog, a real eyesore. This is the first thing you see straight ahead when you walk in the front door.
Both kids were eager to help with the initial demo of the steps. I think our neighbor took the wrought iron handrails for the landscaping in his backyard...
Looking better already!
Those sawhorses became a fixture in our kitchen. We'd put the kids to bed and paint risers, spindles, you name it.
This was an "all hands on deck" project. Kathy helped during her visit for Jackie's shower in March. This project stretched from March-May.
Scott and Jackie were here for Easter. Poor Scott was strong armed happy to help with spindle installation after lunch. Friends and family will soon learn not to visit while we are mid-remodel.
Phew, all done! The finished product is quite the improvement!
We learned a ton tackling this project on our own! Our friends Matt and Sam helped with the initial demo and install of the wood flooring on the landing near the playroom. The wood floor in the hallway upstairs makes a world of difference! A million thanks to Matt, Sam, Scott, Kathy, and BRAD for whipping up this stair renovation! By far the biggest project we've tackled to date and probably will ever tackle on our own (says the girl whose guest bath is currently in a very raw state).
