Posted on by

If you recall from Remodel, Part 26: Phase 3 New Hardwood Stairs and Loft and Remodel, Part 28: New Handrail, Brent had ripped out old carpeting and installed new hardwood floors and stairs.

In addition, he made us a new handrail.

Then stain guy came in and stained the loft floor…

After the stain dried, he coated everything with a top coat. Check out the “after”.

It’s so strange. We’ve lived in this house for 17 years. It has only been such a short time since we did the remodels and I can barely remember what it was like before. Weird!

So this brings to a close Phase 3. Phase 4 coming soon! 😉

Whenever you’d made a big change, do you have a hard time remembering the “before” ?
