Thanks. More trim it is!

I'm refinishing some really old stairs. (1896) Any ideas on how to close these gaps between riser and tread? I don't have access to the underside.

Thanks. Here is how that turned out by the way

I took a wall down, built an island, and put a row of uppers adjacent to the wall. The wall is not straight. The panels were fixed width so I couldn't scribe. Even if I did scribe perfectly, I'd still want a piece of trim. I'm thinking a piece of screen molding but then not sure how to...

Yeah you can see the window in picture #2. But basically this wall is half above grade, half under

Is there anyway to drywall over without adding a ton of width? The steps are too narrow to add framing to that side

It's an exterior concrete foundation with another layer of brick on the exterior. I wouldn't say it gets a ton of moisture but I just assume that evervences is just the nature of the wall

I'm refinishing these basement steps. Need to figure out wall treatment. I'm sure if I use paint or some other direct-to-wall finish, it will meet the same fate as what is on there. I'm considering some sort of paneling but not sure about how I would secure to wall, how I would handle...
