hi! i just found this post! i keep threatening my husband that he will come home one day and i will have ripped all the carpet off the stairs. he said, “please dont!” the reasons i haven’t yet are 1. we have a carpeted loft at the top of the stairs and i’m not sure where to stop the carpet ripping at the top. & 2. what do i use as replacement boards on the stairs? do i need to invest in stair boards that have the wrapped edge or can i simply use a nice sturdy board cut to fit?
thanks for your help.

I saw you on Nate today for the first time and have so many questions!!
But first had to say that I have been in a rut with my home projects and YOU have inspired me and given me a new motivation. Thank you!! How do you do all that you are doing? Seems amazing to me!
I am 48, married 23 yrs. 2 amazing sons, and have a 70′s home that we have gradually redecorated and love…and the projects are down to a few now. I have to ask about your beautiful map on your wall, not to mention your sweet son!, and need input from you on a project my husband says cannot be done! I want to cover our red brick fireplace with a wood overlay of some kind. To brighten and update a very awkward living room we have. I may have to tackle it on all myself….HELP!!
