Treads preview

We dropped by our stairbuilder's workshop this afternoon and got a sneak preview of our beautiful maple stair treads. There are 29 of them in total, and they are gorgeous. They will be stained a medium-toned reddish brown to coordinate with the rest of the woods in the house. The underside of each tread has been cut to exactly match the size of the steel steps (the treads in the photos are upside down so you can see the cuts). There are still a few dirty jobs left to do on the house, so these lovely pieces will not be installed until later in September. We can't wait!
