Does the banister need to be painted as well? If not, I'd leave it on, unless you are doing the balcony floor as well then take it off.. 

The stone effect is a nice concept just maybe not executed well. It doesn't look like it has any texture? Maybe you could cut egg carton stones using the current floor as a template and stick them over this flooring, grout and paint for a better, more realistic stone effect.

What the? Stapled windows, that's the first time I've seen that.. lol

If you don't want to replace them can you trim them out with window trim to cover the staples and give them some architectural interest on the outside?

I was going to say the same thing as Samusa about the texture on the stone floor. I like the stone, but agree that it is too flat.

She also had a good idea about trying to add trim to the stapled windows. That would cover up the staples if you can't get them out, and they really do need trim on the inside to cover up the rough opening there.

It looks like a great house!

Definitely adding trim on inside window.  The thickness of the plastic windows, doubt anything but staples would hold.one good thing about old dh,they made to last.

 Texture is what is missing. I was thinking stones too. I may do a test on a spare part. I'm a bit nervous since I never did stones with grout. 

I'm leave banister as is. Just not a very neat painter. Lol  If they don't come off easy, I'm learn to be super patient and neat.

It's a nice solid house. I'm get more pictures of the other side and roof. Still deciding if I want to repaint all the rooms. I think the floors just need a light sanding and a coat of polyurethane. They actually in quiet good shape. Not sure I even need to do that.  Maybe just the floor where I removed old steps. Under the stairs is lighter wood.

Thanks for replying.
