The Verdict is In… (on the Paint/Stain Debate)
What debate? Ok, maybe the one I have in my head. 😉 I had posted earlier about end tables that Stephen made and put on FB Marketplace to sell.

Fancy Stairs
When our house was built, the stairs leading from the garage into our mudroom were left as plain plywood and wood. I mean, they’re in the garage where we trek in and out of multiple times a day, so they’re fine. Right? Nah!
