Stairway to heaven

Before

After

After looking into foyer. That cabinet will be replaced by a radiator cover. The cabinet is hiding the electric panel. The radiator cover will be narrower and painted to be less prominent. The foyer walls will eventually be yellow.

Before from our bedroom at the front of the house looking to the back of the house. To the right is wall-to-wall carpet that covered all three sets of stairs and hallways.

After.

The stairs from the second to third floor got a different treatment. All the spindles and some of the white trim still needs painting. We painted only what had to be done in order to install the rug.

Mom and I had a nice visit this morning with Marshall next door. Mom and Marshall compared notes on china and stemware stores in the 1970s. Marshall used to have a pottery business and called on the stores where mom bought china and Waterford and Tyrone crystal back in the day. Mom spent the afternoon finishing a book she was gripped by while Runner Ryan installed the rug.
