Ok, some progress pics!!!!

Schmexy DH hard at work tearing out berber:

Sanded, conditioned, ready for stain:

Stained (Minwax Dark Walnut stain), poly'd (Mixwax poly for floors in matte finish), and painted (Behr Premium Plus semi gloss in Pure white or something like that, this was left by previous owners)!

I have since touched up some areas that you can see the tape tore off little bits of paint

We have 2 landings that our contractor is going to finish for us at the end of February.

We're going to leave them as-is for now and see how it goes. We're a no shoe household anyway (instituted that last summer because our berber is impossible to keep clean) and they don't seem to slippery in socks that i've noticed, but I have kept some treads pinned just in case.

I have the same carpet (but totally wrecked) on my stairs. I finally peaked under the carpet last weekend and I am gutted that it is not hardwood. Also Love all the W's.

Thank you! The W wall took a long time to get right. Here are some better pics.
