While there's still a HUGE to do wishlist of things we want to change (I'm looking at you, kitchen) there is also plenty that we've updated to make it our own. Today I'm sharing the stair makeover that almost took the full 2 years to complete, due to our very stretched out timelines. And just a warning, this a photo heavy post as I did go through all the steps in case you were also considering this makeover process and want to know what it entails. Resources seen in the post are all seen below so scroll down if you have any questions! Before we get started let's take a look at these stairs in their original state from two years ago.
