Wow those look great! Much better than the red. The runner is perfect

Wow! Beautiful!

The runner looks Great on those stairs!!

I'm really surprised that you managed to get the stairs out - it took me ages to get mine IN - I would never dare take them out.

These stairs look great though after a bit of TLC. This could be a magnificent haunted house, the garfield lends itself to spookiness in my opinion. I love your floor for the tower too. A haunted house doesn't have to be derelict, it can be oh so so elegant and stylish but I think it just has to be a bit dark and gloomy too - to give it atmosphere.

Looking forward to seeing this one progress and although I know this pic is quite old, I'm sure you are still planning it.

I'm not one for brights so if I were painting the outside of this house I would go for a subtle grey/green or a subtle blue/grey with a very dark grey/brown trim or if you are feeling up to the challenge, finishing it off like Connie's house which I think is spectaular.
