Nice!

No offense, but that first picture looked like the descent to the fiery lake of Gehenna. (Giggles). Much improved.

The oriental runner is much better!

Could you show us a photo from the bottom of stairs to the top? Thanks.

I can do it for the new but here's the only other one I have for the old...it's going down to the front door

Here are photos of the carpet from the front door to the top of the house

Half way to the first floor looking down at the front door

The key to the improvement was to have the carpet stay parallel with the wall on the pie shaped steps. This involves a lot of cutting and pattern matching, without a border and pattern it would have been far easier. The carpet is also a nice wool Karastan so it feels great on bare feet.
