This is our stairs before.
By stacy of the serene swede.
The stairs in our home were ancient and had a smell to them.
To avoid damage to the wood stairs they used a cat paw and hammer to gently remove the tack strips.

My husband and i recently tore the carpet from our stairs and painted the wood underneath creating a fresh clean and modern look.
