Stairs carpet - GONE!


We finally got around to removing the carpet from the stairs leading from outside to the salon. It had gotten pretty bad in spite of our attempts to clean it - so out it came!

Underneath was just plywood, coated in carpet glue so I decided to start from scratch and rebuild the treads and try to dress up the risers. We'll, here's what we ended up with!

I used a 3/4" stain grade pine and applied five coats of Minwax Polyshades. I had to use 2 different colors and layered them to get the color we wanted.

For the risers we used a grasscloth wallpaper from Lowes and just sanded the risers smooth before applying.

Overall, it turned out very nice. Now on to ripping out ALL of the carpet in the salon!!!
