Now that the floors are finished, we’re starting to prep for painting. I have a feeling the prep work will take longer than actually painting but having a good foundation is crucial.
While we had the treads of the staircases refinished, we plan on painting the risers white. The treads are currently looking brand-spankin’ new.
The risers…. not so much.

To remedy this problem, I needed a new toy. Rob got a new toy, now it’s my turn!

I know a bunch of you check out our progress from your readers. But if you could pop out of them for just a second, I’d like to draw your eye to our latest feature – The Wall of Awesome.
While we are big fans of comic books, we’re not superheros and this reno is going to be a team effort. We could not do this renovation on our own. “The Wall of Awesome” is out little way to honor our friends and family who take time out of their schedules to help us with the house. Thank you! Ya’ll rock!! (and yes, even this jersey girl can use “ya’ll”)
If YOU want your name emblazened on the interwebs in all it’s bloggy goodness, come help us out! We’ll even feed you.
