Stairway Renovation and Joan River's Face

The next finalist in our Old House Blogger contest is Sara from Wisconsin. Her motto is “DIY or Die Trying.” Although her stairway renovation looks great to us, she claims that like Joan River’s face, it’s never really ‘done.’

Russet Street Reno’s post: A Step in the Right Direction details the before, along the way, and after of this difficult home renovation project that included tearing off wallpaper and painting the 15 foot ceilings and walls along the stairwell. Here’s one of her before shots:

Warning: if you’re planning to visit Russet Street Reno’s post while at work and are easily distracted by bulging, tatooed biceps (c/o Sara’s partner, Shawn) be sure to scroll quickly past photo #5.
