As I continue to share my Super Mario basement projects, it's time to show a new section of the basement: the stairwell.

Today I'm excited to share our kitchen remodel. When we were looking for a house, I really wanted an updated kitchen but this was our first time buying a home and all the houses with updated kitchens were just out of our budget.
