These stairs are finally done. First was the endless sanding, then the staining and polyurethane. I put off painting the risers and sides because its a nightmare to prep, plus I had other projects from “The List” to get done. I went through a roll of tape just getting everything ready before painting. Primed with a good primer, then hit it with a semi gloss white from Benjamin moore. (I went with the semi gloss because of durability, I used this on all my moldings and doors)
Anyways, here are some pics. The flash from the camera makes it seem more shiny then it actually is, I think it came out pretty good.

Here are some pics from a few weeks ago when she was all cleaned up. The stang looks a lot better via photos then in person, but hey… What do you expect for 23+ year old paint?!?! Other pics are for the new switch console I added to the ashtray. These switches control my Fan, Shift Light, and gauges. Heading to Englishtown,NJ this weekend for the big Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords Event. More info on the event here: http://www.etownraceway.com/schedule/fords.aspx It should be fun!

This is the buffet table we did in the dining room, we did a glass tile counter top for it
b/c of the leftover tile from the backsplash in the kitchen.

My other project I am working on, the garage! To many projects, not enough time…

Eventually I’d like to do a nice garage tile floor and finish rocking the garage. Garage has its own zone of heat too.
