| When I lived here 20 years ago, the shared hall had this wallpaper and carpeting, which was ALREADY ancient and gross. So when I moved back in last year, I shuddered and then shut my eyes. I had the whole apartment to renovate, never mind a shared hall. Now it's the following winter...and I need projects to work on, you know. I am so close to done I can taste it. Check out the series. |

| Wallpaper down, horsehair plaster and old repairs exposed. |
 |
| Layer of mud applied, carpet getting removed. I'd love to know when this was installed. |
 |
| Sanded the stairs...just enough to get ready for more paint. |
 |
| Primer almost done. First coat of wall paint applied. Trim and rails painted white. |

Starting to paint every other riser. In less than 24 hours, despite human vigilance, 2 dogs and 1 cat have had their way with the wet paint. I'm rubbing everything down with turpentine. Well, everything but the actual animals. :)
