So pretty. How exciting to be featured!
That is wonderful / congratulations! So pretty ! 🙂
I know, it was exciting. Now to get them finished. They will be even better.
Congratulations! Your stairs are sooo pretty! I redid my stairs a couple of years ago. It was a lot of work because we had to rip up the carpeting and do lots of prep work. I painted them and did a little stenciling on the risers. I love my staircase now!
I still need to finish mine but so many things keep getting in the way. Soon though, very soon I should have them complete. We had carpet on our stairs a long time ago, what a pain to clean! So much easier with them just being wood.
