We had planned to create wood trim around the oval window but began to think of alternatives. We decided that I would fill in the sheetrock gap around the window with mud and then paint to match the walls.

Replacing the Stair Railing
When we added the full second story, the stairway was changed and the handrail was no longer long enough. The handrails at local lumber stores were not wide enough. A lumber yard in Minneapolis had the perfect handrail. Steven worked with it and our original spindles.
Basement Upgrading
The basement was painted dark colors – many wall and all the ceilings were painted black – very depressing and darkening. Steven didn’t feel it was worth building a semi-finished rec room. I worked on the ceiling – adding sheetrock where needed, mudding seams and painting the ceiling white and the walls a light beige. A friend helped me paint the walls. It made a huge difference. I also painted the floor a rich burgundy.
