We're restoring this beautiful staircase that was covered for nearly 80 years

Описание: This staircase was walled off in the 1940's to create a separate rental unit. We’ve removed the walls that enclosed it, and we are restoring it to recreate the beautiful, grand entrance to this home

🏡 Chapline House is our family’s love letter to a bygone era. Where creaky floorboards, antique finishes, and forgotten details get a second chance. Join us as we restore our 1884 Victorian home one project at a time, blending hands-on DIY, historical charm, and plenty of humor. From paint stripping marathons to salvaged treasures reborn, we’re saving more than a house, we’re preserving a story, and inviting you to be part of it.
