Wanna pop? Wanna see our awesome staircase?

Here's our next project. We tore this up when we redid the kitchen 5 years ago. This stairway ends right in the kitchen/keeping room. Hopefully we are going to get it closed up this spring. We are planning to cut a couple of holes high up and install some stained glass windows in the walls between the bedrooms and the stairwell. I'm hoping that will help bring a little light into the stairs.
This is what a frustrated homemaker starts doing when she is tired of looking at studs. I like doing it ourselves........but it sure makes things take forever sometimes. This wall is at the bottom of the stairs. On the other side of it is the fridge.

The ceiling is way up there at second floor ceiling level. I'm hoping we can put a tin ceiling up there. It's not much square footage and I think it would look so cool. I mentioned this to Joe way back when, but I'm not sure he remembers. We are talking about finishing the walls with horizontal boards-very cottage style. It seems like it would fit in with our home.

Of course we drink pop. All our southern relatives think that's crazy...but then they call all pop Coke! They say, "Would you all like a Coke? What kind? We've got root beer, sprite, diet." Or sometimes they call it a soda. They think we have a funny accent and we, of course, love to listen to theirs.
