Stairwell Project

This is the old front door that was there when we bought the house.  You can also see the old 80's wall paper that used to be there.
 The new front door that we put in actually a few years ago.  The wallpaper is gone and we repainted although now that we got the new carpeting in the living room I think I want to repaint again.  You can also see the refinished stairs here.
 The old, nasty carpet that used to be on the stairs.
 The stairs refinished.
 The old, unstained stair railing.  Whoever put this one in, never finished it!
 The new, finished stair railing (well almost finished).
 Old picture of hallway in the basement.
 The hallway in the basement currently.  It is all ripped out and the tile and other things are purchased.  Now it needs to be put in!  Also the little bathroom you can kind of see here needs to be ripped out.  We purchased all new bathroom stuff to go in there.  Again, just waiting to be put in!
The floor on the landing.  You guessed it, we have the stuff purchased, now it needs to be put in!  I don't have a picture of the old floor but it was dark, slate tiles.  It took Stan a long time to pound out that slate.  He said that whoever put it down used the wrong kind of adhesive which made it really sturdy but really difficult to remove!  Stayed tuned for the finished pics hopefully sooner than later!

Gotta love house projects! (especially with kids - they make getting things done a lot tougher!)
