Sanded steps ready for staining!

Log Staircase
I had mentioned before that one of the best things I think we purchased for our log home was the log staircases (up to the loft and down to the basement.) The main staircase has become a nice focal point in our home. We had the builder finish and stain the main staircase. To save money, Greg is doing the basement stairs himself. He's been working on lightly sanding the dirt tracks left from the people traffic and is now ready to finish staining. This has been a little hard to do as Marvin the cat keeps wanting to walk on these steps and see what his daddy is doing. Amazingly, the loud noise from the sander doesn't deter him.

stairs add so much! I love mine now that they are finished - two years after we moved in!!
Beautiful stairs.
I always think "this is going to look so good at Christmas". Any time we have looked at houses, I ask Frank "where does the Christmas tree go?"
I look at these stairs and can't wait to see how you decorate for the holidays!
Your home is looking wonderful!
The wood grain on the cut ends really sets them off; beautiful!
Ohhh... I am thinking beautiful garland and lights and ribbons and so on at Christmastime! It's going to look gorgeous! Are you spending Christmas up at the cabin this year? I know I would be!!!!
You can tell people that good Christmas ideas for you and Greg would be gas cards so you can getaway without a second thought as to whether gas prices go back up again or not!
happy weekend!

FANTASTIC! You wouldn't have the same effect with regular treads. Nice upgrade!
All that wood is just beautiful!
