Final Stages - We're Almost There

Youngstown cupboard handles were scrubbed with steel wool and the black inserts were soaked in water and vinegar and scrubbed with a toothbrush.

Honeycomb cellular cordless shades were purchased from Overstock.com and put on all but four windows. I'm still trying to decide what to use on the bathroom window and the window on the stair landing.

Half-bath door on Johnson wall mount sliding door hardware. The door is a Casbah Redi-screen from Crestview Doors.



One of two lights in the full bath.



A wonderfully clean new tub. Hopefully, sealed well underneath so the critters don't make another nest.

The stairs after priming with Kilz Premium water based primer and following up with two coats of Benjamin Moore Impervex High Gloss Enamel.


Then they pulled off the treads and found out the new treads were thinner than the old. That meant another coat of paint to get all the bare spots. I had to keep reminding myself that the treads weren't there as I worked my way backwards down the steps.


I love the finished product. I purchased the treads from Menards - prefinished, oak. Jeff did a great job installing them!

Next - trim!
