Home Improvement: Stairwell

Andrew's an outdoorsy kind of person, and we like having a little "nature" in the house. You can't really see the detail very well, but the glass in our new light has a light leaf design in it.

We also chose this wall sconce from Lowe's with the leaf design.

Here's the finished stairwell! All of the changes we did included replacing the outlets and outlet covers from brass to white, painting the walls, putting on new handrails, putting in new flooring (including the carpet), adding new trim, scraping off the popcorn ceilings, and updating the light fixtures.

Climbing Down the Stairs

Oliver has learned to climb down stairs. It's kind of my fault because I taught him. I taught him for a reason, though, as he was trying to climb down himself face first. I showed him once how to go down feet first, and that was all it took. He spent an hour at Grandma Judy & Grandpa Larry's going up and down the stairs over and over (as we spotted him, of course).

Pictures will be posted soon!
