Diane did an awesome job on these stairs. They were originally old stained carpet and after a little hard work and patience she made them brand new and better than ever. She says "We had our annual End-of-Summer BBQ on Saturday and I had promised myself that the stairs would be done for the party. I had to put in a few late nights, but I kept my promise! (Well, actually, I’m about 90% done. There’s still a bit of finish work to do, but I’m celebrating being done for now.)"
