LOFT STAIRS ALMOST DONE

Seems like ages ago

that the art loft looked like this 

and the stairs 

looked like this

(oopsie...coffee break going on!)

I remember how excited I was to have sheet rock

I got so spoiled along the way I suppose

because then I wanted

Paint!

Holy Jerico!  Paint color that is!

Do you remember this old table I bought at a garage sale in Lubbock?

and the sweet birds...the painting is still wrapped up

I actually might change the wall color due to this painting

it's not the one I chose the paint color around and it's a bit too Kelly

Just playing around with what I have that I might put here

that's my favorite part of it all!

and after the paint...well, (spoiled me) I wanted the stairs to be kind of 

special

So we got some tiles

16 different patterns

one design for each stair

Pretty colorful

the brick wall will be painted once the trim and molding are up

although...I'm kind of liking the raw look of the brick

this brick wall was covered with stone...so lots of mortar on it

it's original to the old house built in 1921

the railing is plain old sucker rod...as in water well sucker rod...and cedar

See those cute little stair lights?

Just like the Lyric Theatre

they cast the softest glow for those who wander during the night

Just have to 

stain the concrete (or lay tile...still undecided)

paint/glaze the wall or hang the original art choice

install the air vents

and a few other little odds and ends

but

for the most part

it's a nearly complete project!

You are looking at my excuse to not 

go to the gym to work out because

I imagine that I do my own version of the

stair stepper more here than I ever did there

my butt is sore most days

and about the same size either way
