BEFORE. Basement steps, entry landing and upstairs "Wedding Cake" bedroom(s).
AFTER.
The carpet is in! And the old linoleum, probably asbestos-backed, is out. I hate to think of Viv crawling on that nasty indoor-outdoor carpet that was in the upstairs bedrooms. The new carpet is so soft (wool!) and not... gross.
The plan is still to retain the old paint on the steps from the first floor to the second floor, but I have to admit the quiet and warmth and softness of the carpet on the basements steps is really, really nice.
We have enough left over to have a rug bound for a play area in the basement...if only all the tools and old doors and unused baby crap weren't in the way. Next project!
