Today we ripped carpet off the stairs and out of the bedrooms. There are lots of staples to pull! Even the tiny ones (aged 2 and 4) are helping pull the staples with plyers. The 2 year old prefers to run the shop vac to clean up afterwards. He’s pretty good help.
These stairs were not meant to be seen when they were first built. I’m not concerned about that now that I’ve seen this blog: http://southernhospitalityblog.com/the-down-dirty-on-the-stair-project
Her stairs looked like mine and now look like this:
She even gave step by step instructions. It will be awhile before I can get to finishing them, but we decided to go ahead and take out the carpet while we had a dumpster in the driveway for our kitchen remodel.
Anyway, I worked up until lunch again and was standing there wondering what to feed all my hungry kiddoes, when I remembered the $.50 cans of pilsbury cresent rolls DH snagged at Dirty Don’s the night before. So I made these (which were a big hit):
It’s super easy–great for kids to do.
1. Pinch 2 rolls together to form a rectangle. Spread with mayo and honey mustard.
2. Top with bits of leftover chicken and a little shredded cheese.
3. Fold in half and press the edges shut. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.
1 can makes 4.
Sounds like you all are getting into the remodeling…great little chicken pockets thanks for the idea. Trish
HA! We sooo loved those same stairs! 🙂 I saved the page and hope to do them some day!
They are so great! 🙂
