It's Prime Time!

 

I can't hardly believe the stairs are carpet-free, staple-free, linoleum-free, residue-free, sanded (twice), wood-filled where the holes were, lightly sanded again, wiped down with mineral spirits and now PRIMED! So excited, I had to post on a Sunday... and also because I couldn't pass up an opportunity to use the title: It's Prime Time! By tomorrow the steps will be painted in Farrow & Ball Pointing (color matched to Behr Premium Plus Porch and Floor Porch and Patio paint) and "It's Prime Time!" wouldn't really work.

That's Pointing on the wall above. Thrilling isn't it? It is a very lovely white that looks a little warmer to me than a bright white. And since I had to buy a whole gallon I can use the rest of the paint on the basement floors. It looks great with the very pale pink color I chose for the walls.

Back to the stairs ...  the real excitement comes when I show you what I've decided to do to the risers! Oh, the fun never ends.
