I could NOT get that staircase out of my mind,honestly I dreamed about a staircase like that for so many years and kept admiring them in books/magazines.The workmanship is outstanding ! The oak panels are beautiful.
(BTW in the bathroom I redid this year previous owners painted over mahogany.Again georgeous woodwork .I stripped enough furniture in my life but that task was going to be too much for me at my age) so I painted it again.

Pulling up the rug did not get rid of the cat urine smell,we had to have the floor and stairs stripped and redone.Very dark marks are left but at least that horrid catsmell is gone.Don't get me wrong I am a very big animal lover.Thank god our cat is litter box trained.

Yes it will be my dreamhouse.Thought our other one was until we moved into this one.ALOT has to be done but I have always been a DIY :-)

Here are some pictures of what I have done today.
