Nice stairs...What did you use in the cockpit area?Did you make the valences?Great jobThe floor is Hickory/pecan...I chose it because the coach is pecan as well. I have not redone the cockpit yet but plan to use the stair nosing that I used on the entry and insert new carpet inside. I want to have new pecan drawer fronts made to replace the carpeted drawers below the cockpit. I had the valances and the headboard reupholstered at the same time that I did the jack knife couch and chairs. Quote Selected
