Can we talk carpet before I go shopping?
Comments (14)Pretty much anything in the $3 a square foot range up will be decent quality. You want nylon or smartstrand. For a bedroom, nothing beats a plush for comfort under foot. It feels exactly like it sounds, like plush velvet on your bare feet. But, if seeing your footprints or vacuum tracks bothers you, maybe a plush isn't for you. Maybe you'd want a frieze, which is a short shag. But, you walk on the sides of the fibers on a frieze, so it won't be as durable as with a plush where you walk on the ends of the strands. However, it will hide traffic paths more, and can also feel soft because of the bulk of the yard. All carpet these days has built in stain protection except for the very cheapest, so don't let something like that in a "name" deter you from buying what feels and looks best to you. As with anything, take it home and see how it feels underfoot to you. Or, you could do the matching wood (did you ever get that project done?) in the bedrooms (selling upgrade) and have a really nice wool carpet edgebound to be a large area rug underneath. You get the benefit of taking the rug with you at selling time then....See MoreStair makeover after flood. Need advice please

Comments (9)If you install stringer skirting it will take care of the gap as it seems it was removed to install the carpeting. It's usually a 1/2" or 3'/4" thick wood along the wall with an edge molding. Here are some pics and a site. https://knostairs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Skirting-molding-up-flight.jpg You also should install cove/edge molding under the tread (see below). If you want something simple for a molding, there are several you can choose. These details will make your stair look finished with nice details. "a" is the tread. "b" is the cove/edge molding....See Morefloating stairs before and almost-after
Comments (7)If anyone knows if it’s possible to use ready-made bending handrail parts to do this type of handrail, I’d really appreciate it. I found a local woodworker to make the handrail, but he’s very booked up, of course....See MoreNorwood Architects
