On to business: staircase redos. You’ve seen them, I’ve seen them. Maybe, like me, you’ve wanted to try them too, unless you live in a one story house and then well … just log it away as semi-useful information, I guess.
Anyhoo, I’d love to pull up my carpet and find fabulous hardwood stairs to refinish underneath, but I’m betting it would instead be a party in particle board town down there.
Guess what? That can be fixed too! Observe Miriam’s staircase. Gorgeous! Step by step on her blog Reeves. One of the steps includes sitting on the stairs for 30 minutes eating cereal and waiting for the glue to dry. That’s like, my dream job.
And here’s an easier solution to a ho-hum staircase: paint the banister! No ripping up carpet, pulling out staples or swearing necessary! From Better After reader Debbie. Thanks ladies!

It might be something in the system that the person who informed you of such…

March 9, 2011 at 3:02 PMI’ve dreamed of doing a fab staircase redo, but I only have a little dark one, that I’ve always thought would be stupid. But in reality, it looks so much like that bead board one, I’ve been inspired!
(and now my hubby is going to hate my decor blog addiction even more!)

December 27, 2012 at 6:50 PMWhat kind of wood did you use on the tread or the nosing. I am admiring your stairs to no end but I am curious on the wood.
take care,
