11/01/12: White stairs, finally . . .

Way back in July, we ripped out the carpet on the stairs and second-floor hallway, refinished the hardwoods underneath, and stripped the flaking paint from the stair risers. Well, it wasn't until recently that we got around to repainting those risers. We'd been living with stained, nasty looking wood for months (not to mention plaster patching all over the stairway walls):


Notice the quarter round, waiting to be reattached. (I ripped it out to insert some shims between the stairs to stop some insanely sharp creaking.)


 May I present Our New Stairs and Stairway Walls:

Notice Michael's expert quarter round cutting and installation skills.
