The cabinets are done
I'm thrilled with my cabinets. Now we're on
to replacing the wood stringers with black metal
ones and figuring out the finished stairs. I'm
leaning toward 2 pieces of sanded plywood
glued together with nosing put around 2 sides.
I'm thinking I'll stain it to match the cabinets....

Nothing left to do but put up the books.
 

I will need to touch up the walls and ceiling. The stain didn't always stay on the wood.
I was terrified of the nosing, but clamps and glue worked smashingly.
 
The next thing will be to pull up the stairs, pull down the stringers and install the new metal stringers that I ordered. Here's hoping it goes smoothly.
The curtains are in, and I think the metal stringers will work well with the railing and the look of the room. We'll put in proper hand rails once the stairs are finished.
