FINISHED Stairs and landing
Progress over the last few weeks:
1) Andy stripped the skirting on the stairs and handrail on the landing.
2) Dad painted the handrail on the landing with dark oak varnish stain & we repainted all the skirting, door frames and doors upstairs:
3) Dad and mum took the stair carpet off and scrubbed the stairs:
4) We finally got the new carpet for the stairs and landing!
And some before-after shots:
