I'm trying to clean up the stairs the a bit. I just got the motivation. I pulled up the pink carpet in the summer (gee! That's almost a year ago!) and sort of just left them alone - hoping a magical fairy would come in the middle of the night and fix them up. The fairy has not come. Now in our defense, this wasn't a project that we wanted to be taking on right now. The previous owners had a nice dark pink carpet down on the stairs and upstairs hallway. It was less than 2 years old. Besides the color, we didn't mind it much. However, our late kitty cat Kiki decided to pee on a couple spots when she was sick last summer. Thus began our stair renovation.
I must have pulled out hundreds of carpet staples. Therefore, wood filler became my best friend.
I sanded, cleaned and taped up in preparation for prime.
And I primed! As you might notice, I still haven't painted the downstairs mouldings. Well I painted some. Since I'll have the paint out to do the stair faces, I'm hoping to finish the mouldings up as well. I really like painting mouldings - but it's hard to paint with the wee little ones running around. So I must wait for them to sleep and usually by then, I'm trying to do other things or just sleep myself.
