The original stairs were pretty beaten up oak. Here's the stairs halfway done
Here is the stairs before sanding, priming and painting. They stayed like this for about 18 months because we got busy and couldn't decide on finishing.
It took a VERY long time but I finally (and fully) replaced the stairs.

My favorite part is that at least in these photos, you have the same staircase / floorplan as the family in Modern Family. You might remember that a running joke was that he had to fix the stairs.
Stairs look great, btw.

I'll have to go watch it. I never really got into it. Saw a couple episodes. Thanks!

Nice job, that looks great. I can't wait to be done with our stairs. I will soon start to cover the steps. Then some new wall panels along the stairs and the end of the renovations can come to an end.

That's incredible well done! How hard was it?

More so tedious than hard. I had to buy treads, have Home Depot cut them to length ( I don't have a saw for that), pry up the old step, clean out the space, wood putty the holes, wood glue the shit out of the step frame, place step, nail gun the shit out of it, then lather rinse repeat up and up and up. Until it's time to sand and paint.

Nice work! It's dull and tedious work that was worth it.
The 18 months before final finishing reminds me of the bathroom remodel we did years ago that didn't have a sink for 2 years because my wife couldn't decide on what to install. All done except the sink. Our daughters were plenty put out the whole time.
