steps. Pictures are of the two staircases which had to be gutted to the stringers, leveled, reinforced. Riser and run on the lower level steps had to be replace and only the run on the steps leading to the upstairs. Both sets of steps received a skirt upgrade. Phew what a mess, but the hard part is done. I will be installing the hardwood on the steps first and floors right after.

platform/hearth rather than demo. Removed the small mantel and surround. Completed project will sport a new mantel with surround, granite slab on top of the frame tiled with stacked stone.

modifications since I design on the fly and never go off a drawing or layout. Since this is taking place in my own home, I'm not pressed for time or completion. I will let everyone know when I'm finished : ). I will post progress pics as I go.Thanks for being patient. Stay tuned !!!!!!!!!!!!

tile and wall tile, granite countertops, tumbled stone backsplash, sink, window trim, blinds .... EVERYTHING was upgraded.
