Refinishing living room floors (carpet) - options for stairs
We have cheap carpet in our living room.
This is also on the stairs. We would like to put down pre-finished hardwood floors. What are options for the stairs? I imagine they are just plain pine boards. The stairs are loose and squeak.. Are hardwood stairs slick? My stairs are also not straight. They have a 90degree spiral from the front door to the top level Any suggestions?? |

Try a nice rug, or just carpet the middle of each run. You get the
nice look of the wood on the sides and the risers. wrote: On Nov 28, 1:35 pm, "hombrewdude" wrote: We have cheap carpet in our living room. This is also on the stairs.
