This week we finally got the carpet on the stairs ripped up. This is in the main house, but we hope that eventually some brides may want to have portraits made on the staircase. It looks as if whoever put the carpet in also took off some wood trim, which is really too bad. We will need to sand and refinish the stairs, but before we do, I think I will have a look around for some trim to match the side of the staircase. This picture doesn't show it too well, but you may be able to see what I am talking about.
We will be hosting Tea and Tours on August 15 from 1-5 PM, so I will be turning my attention to planning what cookies to make for that. I will have to put renovations on hold for now.
