What paint did you use on your steps? I am debating carpet or paint. Our house is 130 years old.

Steps have 1940’s carpet I really hate. Don’t know what’s underneath the carpet. We were told 2

Layers of hardwood floors throughout the house, no true upstairs. Just worried how paint will stand up to ally use.

Going to try pizza dip sounds and looks delicious..

How old is your home. You are doing such a wonderful job refurbishing it but not changing the uniqueness of an older home.

I love reading your magazine every month. Your stairs turned out great. I think you must be a bit of a perfectionist, not necessarily a bad thing.

I remember wearing saddle shoes. My dad would call them good sturdy Oxford. When I was a teenager and would buy little skimpy flats, he would always say to my mom, "what ever happened to good sturdy oxfords?"

I was a little disappointed that you had only 1 recipe this issue. You usually have 2. I'm not a big fan of pizza , especially pepperoni. I know, I'm weird. Once in a while I will enjoy a few slices of sausage pizza. My biggest weakness is Asian food.

Love when you co host Twin Cities Live.

Take care, Ginger

The pizza dip recipe looks delicious. I will definitely try it. I love how the stairs turned out. I did the same thing on a deck with a heavy white stain on the risers and a natural preservative on the steps . . . it looks so sharp !!
