I'm an oversharer!
Mark is always telling me I’m an oversharer…I can’t help it…life moments entertain me, and if I can entertain you by sharing our crazy life…then I’m gonna do it!!
So here’s what no one tells you about having open stairs in your home!
This is a funny story about the open stairs we built in our new home! Hope you get a chuckle out of it and of course I’ll include some of my favorite open stair designs to inspire you as well!
the design problem with open tread stairs

I still love my stairs!
I still LOVE my staircase he built for me!! It was such a labor of love. Luckily we had incredible builders who totally supported us building our own stairs.
We sourced the wood from The Woodsmith Store, stained & sealed everything with General Finish products, Mark made the metal support brackets for each tread, built the stairs using his favorite Dewalt Tools, we sourced the metal from a local steel shop, welded all the railings, painted them matte black and finally installed the cable system from Cable Bullet .
