Glad to hear you had a great holiday. I ...Hi Lisa,<br />Glad to hear you had a great holiday. I just got back from Michigan (visited family and friends) and I couldn't wait to get caught up on all the postings I missed. When I read about the ajaxorcometitis I laughed until tears rolled down my cheeks. My honey didn't appreciate the humor in it. <br />Your thrift shop picture is fantastic and a real score. I can't wait to see it hung in your finished living room. <br />Your idea to strip the stair treads is a good one. I would suggest painting the risers a white enamel. It helps to brighten the stairwell and using enamel will make easier to clean off the scuff marks.<br />Keep those pics and posting coming.<br />VanessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709468760021344117.post-13476751004067740772010-09-07T12:32:36.932-05:002010-09-07T12:32:36.932-05:00Oh boy, now I can't wait to see what you come ...Oh boy, now I can't wait to see what you come up with.<br />SandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709468760021344117.post-68876104071412521542010-09-07T12:24:30.767-05:002010-09-07T12:24:30.767-05:00I have two drop cloths ready to go...gonna be a se...I have two drop cloths ready to go...gonna be a sewing fool this winter! and for as much material as you get from one drop cloth?

You have done a great job cleaning it up. I'm thinking I would have thrown in the towel by now!<br /><br />Glad you had a good Labor Day. I spend some of my day traveling the world. Saw some beautiful homes, some with Peeling paint, plaster falling, all white rooms (white walls, floors, ceiling, furniture), Bright colored rooms, very crafty rooms, and wonderful slip covers made from painter's drop cloths (some were bleached some where not). Now isn't the world of internet just great? I really liked the drop cloth slip covers, so I looked at the store and a 6x9 was five bucks. Pretty cheap!<br />SandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709468760021344117.post-13695132690310669342010-09-07T11:33:34.032-05:002010-09-07T11:33:34.032-05:00Hi Donna!

There were two bedrooms upstairs...the stairs are not as steep as they look...don't get me wrong, they are not gentle by any means but the neighbors go straight up at such a pitch, I don't know how they don't just slide right down again!lol I wonder if I have an intruder step? I am going to go test them all out! hee hee You always give me such interesting information! I want to paint the stairway white too...and my room is upstairs...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02512936772208578667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709468760021344117.post-17124303358932461742010-09-07T10:32:43.792-05:002010-09-07T10:32:43.792-05:00Glad you had a nice holiday.

Evidently, they used to build one step a little higher then the rest. If you had an intruder, they would trip on that step. I wasn't an intruder but I sure tripped on that step...a lot.<br />I think these stairs will be beautiful when you are able to strip the paint and refinish. You will probably have to go very light on the paint color.<br />What is upstairs and where is your bedroom located?<br />DonnaDonnanoreply@blogger.com
