Evolution of a Staircase

Continuing in our efforts to NOT work on cabinets anymore, we have reworked both of the staircases. They have been the only bad surprise yet in the process of removing the carpet. They were pine, so they had a zillion carpet staples and dents. Some of them were even hacked off on the side where they added the lovely rounded section off to the side.

So, now they're all new. Half new really. We patched and painted the risers, but the treads are all new. They're oak and they kinda match the color of the oak flooring. Not perfect but I had no interest in mixing and matching and all that. This was a one-coat-and-done project. Regardless they look a lot better than the pine ones.

Beautiful job. I've always loved wood treads with white risers. And I love the slate floors. Great work.
