Bookend steps!!

Posted on Wednesday October 23, 2024

I’ve had this idea for some time. Finally told Cindy about it and she said, go ahead! We ripped up the old, nasty, ugly, green, monstrosity of a carpet. Got rid of the tons of rusted nails. Stained and polyurethane on the steps. Ordered custom bookend stair risers of books we love. Waited not-so-patiently for them to arrive in the mail on Friday. They were installed on Saturday and I can finally share the finished results! WE LOVE THE STEPS NOW. Seriously so beautiful. I cannot wait for all the kiddos to see them!
